MOOOOVIE POST!

I saw Burn After Reading. It's hilarious, but the Coen brothers are misanthropes. Still, for black comedy it doesn't make you feel uncomfortable, because the humor's so freakin' zany (there's a moment with George Clooney and a chair that you gotta see to believe). Sometimes that works to the film's disadvantage, and no character in it is as vividly painted or obviously loved as Marge Gunderson (which is why Fargo isn't bleak), but it's still a good movie. Brad Pitt grabs the movie early on and runs off with it. He's absolutely fantastic. Overall, I'll give it a B.
