Barton Fink 9/10
I've been wanting to see this movie for a while and turned on my TV the other day and big letters NEXT: Barton Fink.. Sweet! The Coen brothers are fantastic. They really know how to pull great performances from their actors.

The acting is bad. The directing and editing suck. The screenplay was a hack job. The soundtrack (or lack thereof) detracts more than it enhances. Still, Chuck Palahniuk's story shines through it all. This was just a vehicle to deliver the plot of a book in movie form. And I liked it.

I read the book a few years ago. I didn't like the cast, I thought there were some good jokes in the book that was lost in the movie and the whole story of his mother's doctor was butchered and the ending being changed kinda irked me. I still enjoyed the movie even though I can only think of complains.
