Lucky Number Slevin

Killing. Blood. Lots of killing. But, a good movie. It was another fast moving, psychological kind of mystery, with great acting and fun dialogue. Lucy Liu impressed me. She carried it a few times.

The movie was dark and funny. So I'll leave it at that.

Brick

I had no idea what to expect with Brick. Within the first minute I knew I would like it. Creative, artistic, and dark. Dialogue is stilted, Bogart style, with just the right amount of tongue in cheek, and the right amount of seriousness to make it work like a charm. The dialogue made the movie.

Beautifully done! Brick was a fast paced and dark mystery, but cannot be put anywhere near the category of mysteries most would think of. It was completely unique. This one is worth watching again!
