Burn After Reading







Ok! The Coen Brothers have done it again. They have a super-hyped movie, with star-studded cast and I became super jazzed with anticipation. Then I saw the movie, and I was left with a empty void of disappointment. Like No Country for Old Men, the acting was on point and believable, but that is the only redeeming quality of the film. Brad Pitt shined with comedic timing. The rest of cast, where ok. I thought the chemisty that Tilda Swinton and George Clooney had in Michael Clayton was not evident in this movie. Frances McDormant and John Malkovich, I guess, did a good job of working with what the characters had of a personality. My disappoinment stems from the fact that I did not care about any of the characters. I thought they were all horrible people, and got exactly what they deserved. There was not one point in the movie, where I was hoping for something good to happen. I just plain did not care and that translated into a big ole fat, "I do not care about this boring movie".

Oscar Season 2008

Ok everyone! I have been absent for some time. The blog is about to be started back to follow me through the next couple months and movies that are in contention for a 2008 Academy Award.
