Burn After Reading

This movie looks funny! I am psyched. Pitt and Clooney are my modern day Martin and Sinatra. And add to it Malkovich and by the Coen brothers. . . .

I'm looking forward to it. The Coen Brothers can do no wrong.

What about Hudsucker?

I enjoyed it.
Tim Robbins, Steve Buscemi, Bruce Campbell & Anna Nicole Smith - what's not to love?

It had an amazing cast, but the film was a disappointment, IMO. I just don't think it worked very well.

I loved Barton Fink though. I pretty much like anything with John Turturro.

I thought it was worse than Eraserhead.

Now you're just trying to piss me off.

The movie got two stars out of four in my local paper. But the reviewer once said that Robert Downey Jr. was the greatest actor of Generation X after Chaplin came out. So, whatever.

Just back from seeing film. Pretty good. Not as good as Fargo (still my favorite Coen Bros. film) but definitely worth seeing. Brad Pitt was an absolute hoot.

Both Pitt and Malkovich are actors who can exhibit a sense of humor about themselves. I think I might go see it.

Wow, that was like a long car ride in the country on a Sunday afternoon. I kind of wanted to burn it after seeing it. The very end was the only thing that redeemed it.
