In The Village, the
villagers live a simple life, cooking, cleaning, gardening and raising
livestock. Only trouble is they are troubled by the obliquely named ‘Those we
don’t speak of’, the creatures who lurk in the woods bordering the village,
held at bay by a truce to not enter each other’s lands. Despite this, two
villagers Lucius (Joaquin Phoenix) and Ivy (Bryce Dallas Howard) express a
desire to go into the woods, so they can buy medicine for the village. Complications
arise when the creatures start to threaten the village, leaving behind dead
livestock and marks on their houses.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000): ****
Loosely based on Homer’s Odyssey,
O Brother, Where Art Thou? follows escaped
convicts Everett (George Clooney), Pete (John Turturro) and Delmar (Tim Blake
Nelson) in Mississippi during the Great Depression. They are on a journey to
claim Everett’s hidden loot, from a robbery Everett committed before he was incarcerated,
before the buried treasure is lost to a flood in four days’ time. Everett, Pete
and Delmar will face many difficulties on their journey, from evading the
authorities, making it to the treasure in time and the weird people they met along
the way.
