Burn After Reading

How many times have you seen a movie about some caper and the plot just gets deeper and deeper until there’s a conspiracy for someone to take over the world? Well, this movie is the opposite of that. A bunch of fools stealing something that just isn’t that valuable… A guy who thinks he’s way more important than he is… you get it. Twisted hilarity ensues.

The Man in the Iron Mask

Few people had kind words to say about this, but I liked it. Sure, it was a bit predictable, but stories like this usually are. I think people didn’t like it because of a subconscious backlash against Leonardo DiCaprio. This movie came out soon after Titanic. I think people wanted Hollywood’s golden boy to flounder a little. Sure, this movie wasn’t awesome or anything, but it was decent.
