(Encore on Comcast) A stunningly assured piece of moviemaking from the Coen brothers - perhaps their finest work to date. Based on a Cormac McCarthy novel, it involves a bag of drug money, the small-time hunter (Josh Brolin) who finds it, the hired killer on his trail (Javier Bardem, unforgettable), and the sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) following them both. At its frequent best, it's a mystical, nearly biblical eulogy for a vanished American West. (R; runs through July 9)
