After starring in not one, not two, not three but FOUR movies this year (three of them Oscar contenders), it's no stretch to say this is Josh Brolin's year. After dangling on the edge of stardom for several years now (thanks in part to some stellar TV work on the short-lived "Mr. Sterling" and the Western mini-series "Into The West"), Brolin's patience has paid off. First in "American Gangster" as NYPD Detective Trupo, the sleaziest movie cop since Lt. Eckhardt in 'Batman' ("Sorry Knox. These two slipped on a banana peel."), then as in-over-his-head Llewelyn Moss in "No Country for Old Men," Brolin shows his range with two vastly different but equally compelling roles.
