I watched Brick tonight. Great movie. A classic film noir with a contemporary high school setting. Really good, if only for the dialog, which oozes with so much noir novel style that it’s unbelievable. Here’s a little taste of dialog.

See the Pin pipes it from the lowest scraper for Brad Bramish to sell, maybe. Ask any dope rat where their junk sprang and they’ll say they scraped it from that, who scored it from this, who bought it off so, and after four or five connections the list always ends with The Pin. But I bet you, if you got every rat in town together and said “Show your hands” if any of them’ve actually seen The Pin, you’d get a crowd of full pockets.

It’s even better when it’s actually coming out of someones mouth.

Also, the score serves the film well and should be commended.

Oh, and it stars the long haired kid from Third Rock from the Sun, and he’s amazing.

That’s it.
