Mini reviews of Burn After Reading and Tropic Thunder

/ bocabit / cine-y-series

I’ve been watching movies for a couple of weeks, despite the irrecoverable trauma caused to me by the terrible Max Payne and the subsequent analysis they did in VidaExtra without saying absolutely anything bad about her beyond the obvious.

In these two weeks I have seen two movies that have not disappointed me despite not having any expectations placed on them, and possibly that is where this ā€œnon-disappointmentā€ comes from.

###Tropic Thunder

The first of them is Ben Stiller’s last film as a director, the film that was able to deal with [the magnificent ā€œThe Dark Knightā€ Tropic Thunder, or as it has arrived in Spain, with the subtitle of ā€œA Very Bitch Warā€ (There is still no page through which one can demand the sodomization by umbrellas of those who put this subtitle, but everything will come…).

Tropic Thunder

Tropic Thunder tells the story of some movie stars who seek to relaunch their careers through a film about the Vietnam War, but their quality as stars leads them to be unable to perform their performances correctly, so they decide to put them in the jungle and make a big brother with them, with the disadvantage that they take them to an area where there are Chinese guerrillas.

The best: It is a movie with plenty of bullshit (some of it very good, like Simple Jack or ā€œAt least you could chooseā€¦ā€) it is not a bullshit movie like Disaster Movie or Scary Movie. In the vein of Zoolander, so it is fun despite having a simple but not too obvious script. And, of course, the characterizations of Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise :)

The worst: Between bullshit and bullshit it can get a little heavy, although not much.

Burn after reading

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie by the Cohen brothers, although I almost saw ā€œThe Man Who Wasn’t Thereā€ on La 2. Maybe I had too many expectations for it due to the good reviews I’d heard from some of my friends and that’s why it left me a little more disappointed than Tropic Thunder.

George Clooney en Quemar despuƩs de leer

The film tells the story of a CIA agent who is fired and decides to write his memoirs, which are stolen from a gym and he is blackmailed to return them. On the other hand, there are cases of multiple skirts that leave (in my opinion) the hidden message that if a woman appears to be a whore, she possibly is.

The Best: The absurd moments of dark humor in which you can’t help but laugh (Closet peek-a-boo moment, for example) and the unpredictable plot.

The Worst: The ending.

I don’t know what movies I’ll see in the next few weeks, but I really want to see ā€œCaminoā€. Can anyone who has seen it tell how it is?](https://bocabit.com/cine/batman-el-caballero-oscuro.php ā€œThe Dark Knightā€)
