Their new one is of a different sort and is in theatres now, and its called Burn After Reading. Anyone who remembers the noir impending-doom humor of Oh Brother, where art thou ? or Fargo, will love this one. Its a crazy tale  of a forced-to-retire CIA man, his stuck-up wife and her secret lover, a treasury agent and a missing floppy disc, that falls into the hands of some  Hardbodies employees,  who then decide to try their luck as blackmailers (need i i say they fail miserably?)  From there its a fast downwards spiral for all implicated. The casting is awesome, the jokes are funny and its one of those crazy stories we have seen before from two of todays best movie makers, brothers Joel and Ethan Coen.

Cast:

Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, George Clooney and in a obscure and small but funny role, the king of funny supporting roles, Mr. J.K. Simmons

Finally my favourite film makers, Joel and Ethan Coen gets the honor they truly deserve. It was very pleasing to see that 4 Oscars was awarded to the unforgettable and future classic No Country For Old Men !!!

The movie won:

Best directing (Ethan & Joel Coen)
Best movie of the year (Scott Rudin, Ethan & Joel Coen)
Best supporting actor (Javier Bardem)
Best screenplay adaptation (Joel & Ethan Coen)

The cast, the story…the filming… this movie has it all. The movie sets a mood that grabs you and pins you to the chair from the moment the first words are uttered by Tommy Lee Jones, right up to the end fade out. In true Coen Brothers style the scenery, art direction and camera angles is all beautiful orchestrated… the dialogue effortless, and the overall feel of movie is in sync with the filmmakers true intentions.

Anton Chigur (played to perfection by Javier Bardem) is possibly the most calculated, sinister and lethal sociopath ever portrayed on film.

Tommy Lee Jones as the soon-to-retire law man Ed Tom Bell, feels like a cool calming breeze blowing over your face, compared to Bardems compulsive and meticulous Chigur.

Cormac McCarthy’s book, (from wich the movie borrows its title) i havent read, but im sure this movie will, like the novel, stand, as an equal to the test of time. I dont think it’s too brash to declare both as modern classics. It’s is also a great day to be a Coen brothers fan.
