COMING ATTRACTIONS

movies i want to watch:
grind house
black book
the namesake

maybe movie hop:
black snake moan
the host
the astronaut farmer

brick (2005)

take all the conventions of a traditional film noir detective story but set it in a modern day (dingy) high school. clever right? it might be overly clever. the styling of this film is excellent, the acting isn't too bad, and everyone takes their roles -- and the stylized dialogue -- very seriously. you still kind of wish more happened though. it's an interesting idea but not exactly a great movie.
