The Coen brothers' Burn After Reading is this week's Video Views pick. CIA analyst Oswald Cox (John Malkovich) is a very angry man.

She’s too busy with other things, like her affair with Harry Pfarrer (George Clooney), a married man who also surfs the Internet for women to hook up with. Having quit his job, Oswald is now writing his memoirs, a computer disc of which is found by the cleaning man at Hardbodies Fitness Center.
