Movie Review: Burn After Reading (2008) by Mike
Whatever the legacy is that the Coen brothers leave with their latest film, Burn After Reading, at least college students will have a new method in which to partake in drinking games. It will go down with such legendary contests like the number of Roxanne/Put on the Red Lights said during that famous Police song.
This new version will be called the John Malkovich ‘What the F*ck’ Drinking Game, which should end up with most players completely trashed after only a few minutes.
Changeling Trailer
I’ve been looking forward to this one for a couple of years now, and even my usual “meh” feelings for Angelina Jolie aren’t dampening my spirit. To most people, this is the latest Clint Eastwood film. To me, it’s J. Michael Straczynski’s first A-list screenplay.
Enter the Burn After Reading Contest!
The Burn After Reading contest we told you about on Friday is now open and awaiting your winning entries. The contest features some cool prizes that will be given to five lucky Pop Critics readers.
Burn After Reading is the latest Coen brothers movie and it features a sick cast: Brad Pitt, Francis McDormand, George Clooney, John Malkovich and Tilda Swinton. Jason and I have been following the movie very closely because that cast coupled with the Coens can only mean greatness.

“The Mutant Chronicles” Has Terrible Title But Cool Poster and Action Packed Trailer
We stay pretty informed about upcoming movies around here since we’re usually writing about them from even the earliest stages of development. I have to admit, though, that I was caught kind of off guard with The Mutant Chronicles. The truth is I hadn’t heard much about it and hadn’t really bothered to look in to it at all. I think the title kind of threw me off.
