Finally an easy week of recommendations. Ignore Big Willie or Jim Carrey, heck ignore Doubt and its prodigious scenery chewing by everyone involved (Pssst … word is in the final tumultuous conclusion that Philip Seymour Hoffman literally starts gnawing on his desk in frustrated disbelief at what has occurred). You don’t need a feel good movie, or a comedy or blatant Oscar bait this holiday season. Instead, try something different. Like an Independent Spanish time travel film. You know, like Timecrimes.

And what could be a better gift this Christmas then the gift of Burn After Reading? You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll discover just which of your relatives is part of a League of Morons. And isn’t that what the holidays are for?

As always trailer are after the break!

    My wife and I saw Burn After Reading in the cinema a month or so ago. We loved it. J.K. Simmons just steals the entire movie in the 5 minutes of screen time he has. And it’s great to see the Coen brothers unwind with this kind of movie after No Country For Old Men. Great stuff.

    I think you got it wrong on the scenery chewer in DOUBT, Matt. Meryl Streep is the chewer.

    Hah. I wouldn’t doubt it Robert, but all I have to go on is the trailer.

    I must agree with you that “Burn After Reading” is an instant classic. I’m still laughing from that one.
