"Brick," the Film

Hello again.

This is the trailer for "Brick," actually one of my top 50  movies.

DISCLAIMER: Please don't watch the trailer if you're under 17 and don't have adult supervision. I've been careful not to put issues out there that might be objectionable... though I do think our young people are a diverse population and have smarts and gifts to offer that it may be hard to remember.

The top critics at rottentomatoes.com give it an 80% fresh, which is not so easy to achieve.

It's a quirky movie - so if you don't like quirky - you're right out, I'm thinking... but it's like a 40's film noir detective story set in a modern high school with all of those issues.

Well-done trailer. Well-done film. Great performance by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Goofy, kooky, heartfelt, like Veronica Mars (I'm told) meets The Maltese Falcon in color. Hey, I'm allowed to be wrong... like many critics.

Enjoy...

Yes - yes! What a fun movie. It's been a while since I saw it but I remember being surprised at how "right" the language sounded. Of course it was humorous language as well but it often also often made sense.
