Three sentence movie reviews: Brick


Recommended to me by the lovely Jan when I mentioned how much I like having discovered Joseph Gordon-Levitt, now I can recommend it to you. It’s a total film noir, hard-boiled detective 40’s-esqe film but set in a modern Southern California high school. Complex, entertaining, very well done and not at all violent or bloody. (read: Sara approved.)

Three sentence movie reviews: The Bridges of Madison County


Nicely acted but so incredibly boring. I’ve read that book and it lit me on fire–I was 18 at the time–whereas watching this movie I was on the Internet reading its reviews and also the trivia about it on IMDB before I had even finished watching it. Did you know that the farmhouse had been abandoned for decades and the crew totally refurbished it?
