At the Cinema: Burn After Reading
This is black comedy of the blackest sort -- very funny. The Cohen brother's tell stories about bumblers. Sometimes they bumble themselves into a happy ending (O' Brother Where Art Thou) and sometimes not (Fargo).
Burn is more in the vein of Fargo, and to my mind (I know this is heresy) is a better or more to the point, more fully realized bit of story telling than was No Country for Old Men. At least I enjoyed this one more.
Also -- Wife & Daughter saw Death Race. They liked it. Roger Corman lives.
:wink:
