Burn After Reading
First, I have to admit that my husband frequently teases me about the movies I order from Netflix. He claims that I deliberately find the obscure movies and justify it by lying that “It got good reviews.” And, to be honest, we’ve had a lot of movies just leave us both shaking our heads at the fact we just wasted 2 hours of our lives on a dud. Even knowing all of this, I chose Burn After Reading, another less-than-successful “dark comedy.” Ha! We liked it. I’m sure it helps that it had a great cast: Brad Pitt, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich and George Clooney. They all play crazy, extreme characters who’s lives tangle up over the misplaced memoir of a CIA analyst. Get ready for lots of f-bombs and some pretty raw moments. It made me laugh, groan and jump out of my seat repeatedly. All the makings of a very entertaining flick.
