By Alec B (1,705) on 18 Nov 2016

Burn After Reading is a typical Coen brothers' lark that features A-list actors strutting their stuff as a group of idiotic characters…

Review of O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

Review of Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Review of Equilibrium (2002)

By Alec B (1,705) on 21 Oct 2016
