It was pretty stupid but I had a good laugh…

The worst movie I have ever seen, at the flicks…

A film rife in hyper-satire is redeemed by the fitting analysis of such events by two CIA executives, David Rasche and JK Simmons, which adds…

Haha that was such a fun. Great actors, great roles/characters and funny story. A lot of plot twists. Totally worth it…

Disappointing after experiencing…

Snark maybe is as snark does, but aren't there cases where snark is justified…

Easily one of the Cohen Brother's most underrated films…

This Coen brothers' Burn After Reading is one of the insane black comedy films ever…

A quirky chaotic film that has it's moments…
