TRAILER TRASH

Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was the Coen Brother's

Raising Arizona (1987)

Nicholas Cage and Holly Hunter head up the usual cadré of Coen eccentrics.

Jokes are hot and heavy.

There is a lot that goes by. It might do with a second viewing some time.

Cage is good. This is before he sold out and was still acting. Hunter is just nuts!

I liked it. The whole thing knits together nicely and, despite the chaotic fun, there are even a few teary moments at the end.

I will give this a 4 out of Netflix5.
