Burn After Reading

Posted by cainmark on 2008 09 16, Tue

Lots and lots of cussing in this movie.

Wife was disappointed. I liked it all right, it was definitely a Coen Brothers movie, but it really isn’t the comedy the trailers have been advertising. It’s dark comdedy, but less comedy, more dark. In a way that will probably only really appeal to Coen brothers fans who like their non-comedies.

The trailer for An American Carol looks pretty damned funny, and we’re definitely seeing it (I personally think that satirizing a guy who’s made 4 or 5 movies and a few tv shows is kind of silly considering the other view has had a 24 hour channel for years now. Their influence one way or the other is in no way equal.) The Zucker name is usually a guarantee of comedy gold. And Kelsy Grammer as Patton is freaking hilarious.
