Disturbia and the case of the screaming girlfriend

Those of you who have met my girlfriend know that she is not quiet. But you may not know that she screams at the slightest provocation. Tonight we watched a movie called Disturbia. Needless to say it is a thriller, but my girlfriend screamed so loud and so frequently that I also started to scream. Soon we were lost in an endless cycle of screaming. I can only guess what the neighbors think.

Good movie though.

Movie Review: Brick

Film Noir, like SciFi, is a fantastically under-appreciated genre. Tonight I watched an excellent noir film entitled "Brick."

The film begins with Brendon, a high school loner who is trying to track down the killer of his ex-girlfriend. I really enjoyed the cinematography of the film, which somehow elevates high school drama to previously untold heights. Each clique has its own unique vision, complex motivations, and secrets. Brendon, the protagonist, is forced to push his way into these bizarre worlds in an attempt to uncover the truth.

On top of great cinematography, the film has a unique dialogue of slang. The writers created a very stylish suburban dialect, like a white Ebonics . Although I guessed many of the twists before they were sprung, it was an excellent production, worthy of my recommendation.
