If you're a Coen brothers fan, like me, then you found absolutely nothing wrong with Burn After Reading. Maybe it didn't blow you out of the water like No Country for Old Men or The Big Lebowski, but it was pure, unfiltered Coen, with a cast most directors could only dream of. And it was frickin' funny. I had hoped for some wackier extras on the DVD, like outtakes or bloopers or deleted scenes or something, but sadly the three documentaries are all business, and two of them are kinda short. Oh, well. Maybe years from now, when fans of the movie are throwing "Readingman" festivals in D.C. and dressing up like their favorite characters (Chad Feldheimer, Osbourne Cox, the hatchet, the sex pillow), there'll be a documentary about that on the special edition.
Fans of the Coen Brothers' "George Clooney is an Idiot" Trilogy (O Brother Where Art Thou?, Intolerable Cruelty and Burn After Reading) -- of which I count myself a member -- will probably like Leatherheads, which, while not directed by the Coens, certainly feels like it could have been with the addition of one or two brutal deaths. O Brother fans in particular will appreciate the film's pre-Depression-era setting and the few old-timey character actors from that film who Clooney brought with him for this, his third directing effort. Fans of sports movies and 1930s screwball comedies will also appreciate this movie, and there are plenty of extras to keep them busy on the DVD version.
