Actors: Josh Brolin, George Clooney
Director: Joel Coen
The Coen Brothers have made homage movies before - The Hudsucker Proxy is a melange of old Hollywood tropes mixed with the bizarre Coen sensibility. That movie flopped. Miller's Crossing is a period noir film mixed with the bizarre Coen sensibility. That movie flopped. Enter Hail, Caesar!, a film which appears to have been concocted with the sole purpose of getting to stage old Hollywood-style scenes in a madcap Coen brothers type film. And it works. It probably won't make anyone's list of the most profound Coen brothers films, but it's quite funny and its plot moves right along until the end without a bad scene in the bunch. It's entirely possible that upon rewatch this film will go up in my estimation, and I do intend to rewatch it.
