Josh Brolin Loves Ending to No Country for Old Men

How did you feel about the ending to No Country for Old Men?

Some fans were disappointed at the somewhat anticlimactic way the film came to a close - but star Josh Brolin isn't one of them.

"I love that people are talking about this movie. I love that people leave the movie saying, ‘I hate the ending. I was so pissed.' Good, it was supposed to piss you off," the 39-year-old star told MTV News. "You completely lend yourself to [my] character and then you're completely raped of this character.

I don't find it manipulative at all. I find it to be a great homage to that kind of violence."

Brolin went on to challenge those that disagreed with his viewpoint.

"You wanted to see his death, why? Because you're used to it. Aren't you so pleased to see a different take on the same cat and mouse game?" he asked. "I would think that you are happy and it seems that you are happy because you're pissed off and you have something to talk about all day."

For months and months, movie fans have been teased about the upcoming horror/suspense film, Cloverfield. But does the flick live up to the hype? Let's see how a handful of critics feel about it...

- Cloverfield is a fun movie. Plain and simple. It's sit back, relax and go. It's a roller coaster ride. -- Slash Film

- A combination of unpleasantness and stupidity that would be difficult to match, unless you were stuck in bed with the flu while being forced to watch Lou Dobbs. -- Kyle Smith

- A robust 80-minute burst of barely-controlled mayhem. Monster fans will love it. -- Fearnet.com

- Will grab you in its jaws, toss you around like a chew toy for a rollicking 80 minutes (yes, it's a short â€" but oh so sweet â€" flick) and still leave you panting for more. -- IGN

Production is set to begin Wednesday on the project, which centers around two lifelong friends - Zack and Miri - who, after finding themselves deep in debt, enlist their friends to make an adult movie with the goal of earning some quick cash.

Makes sense to us.

"We live in a time of great fear. Having a movie that is about something as outlandish as a massive creature attacking your city allows people to process and experience that fear in a way that is incredibly entertaining and incredibly safe. I want to have that experience myself â€" to go to a movie that's about something larger-than-life and hyper-real, and Cloverfield certainly is."
â€" J.J. Abrams, Producer, Cloverfield

Academy Award nominee Viggo Mortensen and Academy Award winner Charlize Theron have signed on for a movie version of the 2006 novel The Road.

The tome, by No Country for Old Men writer Cormac McCarthy, revolves around a man (Mortensen) who embarks on a nightmarish road trip after a nuclear explosion in an attempt to transport his son to safety while fending off hungry cannibals.

Reportedly, Theron will play the wife of Mortensen's character, appearing mostly in flashback scenes. The actress, who won multiple awards for her role in Monster, agreed to play such a small role because she was a huge fan of the book.

Kelly Macdonald Speaks on No Country for Old Men

Kelly Macdonald portrays the wife of Josh Brolin's character in No Country for Old Men.

The actress who has also starred in Finding Neverland and Nanny McPhee recently spoke with IGN about working with The Coen Brothers.

Kelly Macdonald

Q: What did you make of it when you saw the film for the first time?
Macdonald: I watched it here in the screening rooms with Javier [Bardem] and Joel and Ethan [Coen] because they had come over to do our ADR session and Javier had flown over from Spain. It's hard to talk afterwards, there's just so much to take in. So basically the screening finished and Javier was first in, so I got to go and have a coffee with my husband and we had time to decompress a little bit.

It took me until about three-quarters of the way through the film to realise there was no soundtrack, no music. Normally if you see a film in its early stages before there's any music, you really miss it.

Q: You aren't perhaps the obvious choice for a Coen Brothers movie set in Texas. How did you get involved?
Macdonald: I was in New York and it was all very last minute for me to go in and see the casting director first of all. They were seeing me more as a courtesy thing, because my American agent was so persistent.
