Saturday night I saw "Brick," and I have to say it's probably one of the most creative and uniquely inventive films of the last 5 years.

If you are a fan of the film noir genre, the days of Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade, a doll with a dirty secret, a hood with a heart.. this movie is definitely for you.

It's set in the present.. the themes are definitely current.. but the pattern it's molded on.. the characters, even the script -- it's all very Maltese Falconish. It's easy to get lost but I found myself figuring stuff from earlier out as it went along.. and I found it just as easy to be transported with this film as it was to get lost.

It's one of those films, if you liked it, you'll want to see it again to catch more of the meanings of things..plus, you get a glossary on the way into the theater!!!!

Here's a clip if you're interested:
