Burn After Reading

Totally not the movie i was expecting. I really really enjoyed it though. The acting in the movie was brilliant and the dialogue was hilarious. Oh and John Malkovich saying "f***" a lot is just amazing.

I really recommend seeing it. One of the best comedies ive seen in a while.


My favorite shot:
Ozzy in his bathrobe storming off the boat with a machete

So awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

I really really didn't like it.
It has funny moments, and I liked the idea about a "movie about nothing," but this just didn't catch my attention/wasn't my cup of tea.

The ending was absolutely fantastic though.

Yeah this guy's going to venezuela, but we don't know why.
*We don't extradite to Venezuela
Oh, yes sir. Well what do we do about this?
*Let him GO to Venezuela!
Yes sir, now this gym woman says she'll pay ball but only if we pay for these surgeries.
*What surgeries?
Well they're 4 separate procedures tha-
*Pay it...
...
*What did we learn from all this?
I don't know sir
*What did we even do?
Shrug

Brad Pitt and George Clooney were great, but J. K. Simmons absolutely made that movie.

Indeed. I've never seen an actor do so much for a movie in so few scenes.

Pretty damn funny. John Malkovich and J. K. Simmons stole the show.

I didn't really really hate it, but it just wasn't amazing to me. I can appreciate it, and there were some ****-yourself-funny moments, but overall it reminds me of why I didn't drop a deuce over The Dude's epic. They're just not that captivating. I was hoping it'd be more like Fargo and less like The Big Labowski
