I’m a big fan of the Coen Bros. My favorite is “The Big Lebowski,” even though I don’t like profanities and it uses them, according to one tally, 271,422 times. It’s just so funny and well done, the characters so well drawn, like people I’ve known. I’m about their age, so we have similar enthusiasms, like The Three Stooges. A true cult classic.
Last year’s Academy Award winner, “No Country for Old Men,” was excellent, and I saw it twice.
“Blood Simple,” their first movie, was the best post-Classic Age (1944-1960) film noir after “Chinatown.”
So naturally, tonight I saw the premier of their new movie, “Burn After Reading,” but it was disgusting and unfunny. Avoid it at all costs.
It was worse than “Crimewave,” another failure.
Let’s hope they’re back to form in their next talkie.
