Burn After Reading, 2008. Three and a Half Stars.
Oh, Coen Brothers! Your joints are such a delight.
This movie was quite enjoyable! And Brad Pitt ruled in it. And I looooooove Frances McDormand. And I dug George Clooney's performance, too. It's usually a little hit-or-miss with him for me (but mostly hit. I just think I'm a little sick of seeing so much of him sometimes). Anyways, the characters that he and Tilda Swinton played opposite each other were perfect!
I grew up watching Gilad on TV, so I took particular delight in the boat work-out scene with John Malkovich.
"I'm bigger, than ever. I'm bigger, I'm back. I'm better —I'm back, than ever—I'm back. You fuckers, I'm back."

My Mom used to have Gilad vhs tapes and she would work out to them.
Then Matt, your mom and I totally have something in common! Though I tended to catch his "Bodies in Motion" on TV. I love his little skits before the workouts!
