Does the Coens' Oscar follow-up live up to their previous work, or does it stand in the shadow of the combination of two legendary actors? Also, what's up with Meg Ryan's face?

I like "Burn After Reading". It's like a Monty Python take on spy movies. Even though, it doesn't reach the greatness of the best Monty Python or Coen Brothers. It makes it point about the silliness of the genre. Great cast giving their best performances. One warning though, it's a darker comedy than the trailers and reviews revealed. The showing I went to had equal amount of gasps and laughter.

"Burn After Reading" was one of the worst movies (I wanted my money back) I ever saw, despite having actors, George Clooney & Brad Pit to dress up the cheap script to make money. I guess being greedy has it's stars!

Wov, you are a great persuader. ;)
I hope Coens will film that gruesome western it was talked about.
