No Country For Old Men: Collector's Edition

Not to be confused with a documentary on the soon-to-be-bankrupt Medicaid and Social Security systems, No Country For Old Men, the quadruple 2008 Oscar winner, is now available in a triple-disc Collector's Edition. However, the supplemental features are so boring, you get to wishing you were watching that documentary on Medicaid and Social Security instead.

The feature itself, on the first of three discs, stars Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem, as the former chases the latter after a drug deal goes bad and money goes missing. Honestly, who wouldn't want to be chased by either of those fine actors? Pulling up the rear is Tommy Lee Jones, the local sheriff following the trail of both men. Watch out for that dramatic ending.

While the feature itself is excellent in acting and artistry, the disc and a half of extra features leaves a lot to be desired. Disc 1 contains a making-of documentary with everyone involved ever, and it's typical and extra boring because of everyone's glaring self-importance. "Working With The Coens" is another behind-the-scenes with the actors lauding their directors...big deal. "The Diary Of A Country Sheriff" focuses on Tommy Lee Jones's character as a small town sheriff, which is not surprisingly the most interesting and thought-provoking of the special features.

The second disc is where things really start dying on the vine. While the box lauds eleven separate features, when you actually get to the menu, it's only two. What's more disappointing is that there's tremendous overlap between all the lengthy and boring interviews. Honestly, how many times can we hear how amazing working with the Coen Brothers is? You get over it pretty quickly. Josh Brolin also has his own unauthorized behind-the-scenes featurette, which, while a little amateurish, does nothing to elaborate more on the story, its themes or its production.

The third disc strictly contains a digital copy for those who have laptops and video iPods and the like. While the feature itself is flawless, you'll be better served with a less intense release of "No Country For Old Men," unless you're an extreme fan.
