- When I saw the cast of Burn After Reading (George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich), I was sure this was going to be a great movie; then, when I learned that it by the Coen Brothers, I couldn't wait for it to open! I just love the Coen Brothers' movies because they're funny and off-center and unexpected and smart. (The exception was No Country For Old Men, but that's because it was true to the book, which I didn't like, either.
- But back to Burn After Reading: it was funny, but most of the funny bits I'd already seen in the commercials for the movie. And then it went from funny to something else that I guess was supposed to be really dark, macabre humor. Just hard to laugh at, for me. I did like Brad Pitt as a goofball, or dumb blonde if you will, very much.
Dark Knight--
- I never thought I could enjoy a Batman movie as much as I did--who can possibly portray the Joker behind Heath Ledger?
Sex and the City--
- Sex and the City was a lot of fun--like getting together with old friends again--and I thought the plot was complete in and of itself so that anyone, even one who hadn't watched the tv show, would be able to follow along and enjoy it.
Traitor--
- There was so much to think about that I came away feeling like I needed to see it again so I could sort out some things. Don Cheadle, was of course excellent, as always. And, oh yes, it's definitely worth seeing.
Tropic Thunder--
- Pretty funny, but not hilarious; best part was Robert Downey, Jr. as Australian actor portraying African-American man
