watching movies one cup at a time

Welcome to Ice Cubes In My Coffee :: The Caffeinated Movie Guide. I love movies and I have strong opinions about all of them. When they are great, they can change your life. And when they suck, you can at least have fun ripping them to shreds. I have seen a million movies and I have a bunch of movie facts and trivia stored up in my head - it's time to share. I'm going to be filling this movie guide with reviews on an ongoing basis, building up a large library of reviews so YOU, the movie-watching public, will know what movies are essential viewing and what movies you must avoid at all costs (hint: anything with the words "Starring Dane Cook"). I will also be posting some interesting articles and lists along the way as well. So grab a cup of joe and settle in for some movie talk!

Burn After Reading

Starring: Brad Pitt, George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton
Director: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Year of Release: 2008
 Rated 4 cups

This is supposed to be a comedy? The trailers made this film out to be a very funny, kind of slapstick comedy. But this film was not funny and was often quite dark. All the characters are pretty loathsome and while Brad Pitt acting goofy is entertaining for about a minute, it’s not enough to qualify this as a comedy. After an hour and a half I just didn’t get why we should care about any of these people or anything that was going on. It just felt like a waste of time.
