Burn After Reading


If, like Stoner, you tumbled into weeks-long depression after seeing No Country For Old Men (or The Ladykillers or Intolerable Cruelty or O Brother, Where Art Thou?) , you’ll be glad to hear that the Coen Bros. are back in form with Burn After Reading.

A second-rate Coen effort, say the critics, a disappointment, especially coming after their previous, Academy Award winning film – which is exactly the welcome that The Big Lebowski received a decade ago, arriving after Fargo…

Burn After Reading is short and sharp, and Stoner loved every second of it. Go see it!
