    Burn After Reading

    I thought someone would've posted this.

    Saw this 2 weekends ago. Slow movie which doesn't really climax but shit happens and resolves into a 'nothing to see here, move on by.'

    It's a bunch of random characters and their loser lives trying to escape out of their loser lives but screwing it up in the most inconsequential ways which leads to their deaths.

    Love watching Malkovich in action, Pitt is great as a himbo and liked Simmons as the head of CIA. But I think Pitt stole the show on this one.

    I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

        The trailer looked funny though, it SHOULD've been a good movie. For some reason I was expecting something like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

            Save yourself an hour and a half of your time and don't see it at all.

            It had some interesting moments but when all is said and done the movie is about nothing.... I'd give it a 6/10.

              weird, I actually had low expectations going into this movie but the humor sucked me in. It's just one of those 'wtf' movies. Brad Pitt I think did an awesome job.

                i thought this was a big waste of money and time. . .the Coen brothers can do so much better and so can all the actors (apart from George Clooney who is just always shit.)

                            i must be the only one who liked this movie...i actually bought the dvd because i thought the role's these actors played were really funny and so different from what you usually see from them.

                            i give it a 7 / 10
