My Mood: Tournaments Joined: 0 Tournament Wins: 0 | Note to all: DO NOT SEE Burn After Reading Seriously one of the worst films I've seen in the last 5-6 years. I've seen a lot of bad movies in my life, and like many bad ones, but this ...
Roommate: "I'd rather watch Army of Darkness 20 times than watch that again"
Roommate: "I'm doing to write the Cohen Brothers and demand my nine dollars back."
Me: "Sex and the City was better"
Everyone: (silence & pause) ... ... ... ... probably.
Seriously, don't see this, don't waste your time.

thanks for the warning
Army of Darkness sucked but Evil dead 2 was funny as hell . | | |

Tournaments Joined: 0 Tournament Wins: 0 | Re: Note to all: DO NOT SEE Burn After Reading true. but the reason i like rottontomatoes is because it doesn't just take into account a few handpicked reviews, rather it considers HUNDREDS of them to form a general concensus.
But you're right it is probably better to listen to ONE internet D-bag on a wrestling website :-)

As I was running errands today, I heard the tail end of a review of "Burn" on NPR where the critic really tore into the movie... and he said, "I'm really a Coen Brothers fan, but..." He said it was very condescending, as if the Coens were holding the movie audience in contempt. So... you have at least one film critic in your corner.
