10 Movie and TV Picks For November4 of 10
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs | Premieres Friday, Nov. 16 on Netflix
From Blood Simple and Raising Arizona to No Country for Old Men and True Grit, the Coen Brothers are at their best out West, so I have high hopes for Buster Scruggs. Originally intended as an anthology, the film retains the scope of a series, a move that gives some shine to frequent supporting player Tim Blake Nelson and allows Tom Waits to fulfill his destiny by playing a gnarled prospector. Plus, every review uses phrases like "existentialism" and "brutalist." Sounds promising! — James M
