*** out of ****      Homer's "The Odyssey" is like the Shakespearean wonder of epic poems; it's difficult or perhaps even impossible to adapt. But that doesn't stop Joel and Ethan Coen for giving it a shot. And I'm glad they did. "O Brother, Where Art Thou" is a Coen Brothers film loosely based on Homer's masterpiece, and it entertains accordingly.

Pros: scenery tho stark was beautiful     Cons: confusing story line     The Bottom Line: Just didn't do it for me           The Oracle says: Musetta Vander has a Bacon number of 2.       Musetta Vander was in Gunshy (1998) with Diane Lane    Diane Lane was in My Dog Skip (2000) with Kevin Bacon ***         I’m gently learning to admire country but I never will …
