Go see Burn After Reading as soon as you stop reading reading this entry. Or even, leave halfway through the entry because I won’t be offended. The new movie from recent Oscar winners Ethan and Joel Coen, and filled with an all-star cast lineup, is a send back to their cult classic The Big Lebowski. Much of the story is carried with brilliant acting by the likes of John Malkovich, expect to hear him drop the f-bomb in every scene, the moronic gym trainer played by Brad Pitt, and brilliant characters acted out by George Clooney and Frances McDormand. I haven’t laughed so hard in a movie in a long time, and the Coen brothers are always able to take a story and flip it around so that sometimes the viewer has no idea what’s going on. The climactic ending to this movie is too good to miss up so make sure you get to the theater as soon as possible.

I totally agree. This movie dominates. I’ve loved the Coen brothers ever since I saw Fargo. They did not disappoint!
