MOVIE REVIEW
Last year, the Coen Brothers finally found their maker when they won several Oscars for the stirring film No Country for Old Men. One of the best movies of 2007, though in my opinion not the best, No Country seems to have propelled Joel and Ethan to a new level of a popularity. In other words, the Coen brothers could make Disaster Movie and people would have lined up in droves. Thankfully, they decided to put their brains together for more original fare, like the idiotic comedy-thriller Burn After Reading.Read our Burn After Reading movie review »
