Brad Pitt steals the show in Burn After Reading
The tag line for the star-studded Coen Brothers film ‘Burn After Reading’ is “intelligence is relative”. Certainly that statement is very fitting for this smart film about stupid people.

All Harrison Ford movie posters are created equal

Bigger, Stronger, Faster: a documentary on steroids
You could say Chris Bell’s Bigger, Stronger, Faster is like a documentary on steroids. Not only is it full of information, but performance enhancements are the subject matter.
