I love movies. Sometimes more than music. Sometimes more. I can't think of life without them. I watch a flick everyday. These are a couple of my recent favorites. I watched them a few times.
Here's a couple of movies you probably didn't know about and need to watch today. I stumbled upon Harmony and Me thru a Netflix suggestion. I heard of Brick from one of my customers. The two are very different and equally creative and awesome.
Harmony and Me is a break-up movie with tons of subtle, awkward humor. It stars Justin Rice who is actually the lead singer in a band called Bishop Allen from the Austin area. I did a little research and found out the whole crew of people in this flick are from Austin. Bob Byington is the writer/director. He also plays the older brother.......Hilarious. The movie also has an appearance from Bob Schneider, another singer/songwriter from the same town. Look out for the wedding scene. It was incredible to me. simple, archaic, and funny.
Brick is a dialogue-driven, noir murder-mystery that plays out on a high school level. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the star of this one. You saw him recently in Inception but he used to be the pipsqueak kid on 3rd Rock From the Sun. Dude is serious. I had to rewind a few scenes because i couldn't understand what the hell they were talking about. Crazy dialogue. Written and directed by a scarcely heard, Rian Johnson. This movie slapped me in the face a bit.
