For this source it talks about how the film Brick presents en extremely intriguing premise. This source also says that the film Brick shows all of the Noir Elements from the beginning to the end. I believe that this is very true because when I had seen it for the first time it had caught my attention very well from the way it started to the way it had ended. In a specific point of this article it states that all the characters spoke in a detective/gangster dialogue which I had found very interesting. It also says that their were other films that spoke in that same dialogue throughout the 1930's and the 1950's. The film Brick is a really good Noir fim to watch.

In this source it actually gives a lot of details and information about Brick. In this source there are two things that stand out in this article which are the words 'Present Day" and "Flashback." These two words caught my attention very well because you don't see that often in articles. The point that I'm trying to make is that for this article it clearly states when the flashbacks are occurring and when. I find that this article is very informational. I also noticed that it tells the story from the beginning to end. The article also tells that they use voiceover turns into a flashback which I find that incredible. This article has also gave me good ideas for the film Brick.
Gonzalez, Ed. "Movie Review." Slant Magazine. 15 Jan. 2006. Web. 23 Apr. 2011.
For this article it's a very different article from the others that I have read. In this article Ed Gonzalez compares the movie Brick affects to a function of a Rube Goldberg machine or a game of Milton Bradley's Mouse Trap. Now you may be asking why would Ed be comparing this film to a machine and game? Well the answer is because it's John's history puzzle in which he picks out chunks of noir from a 500 piece puzzle that clearly shows all of the nameless Southern California high school as it's background. In this article what it's trying to point out is that since the film took place in a high school you could see that the students talk about and act like familiar noir archetypes such as a doomed dame, moll, or even like a femme fatale. I find this section very educational because ever since I seen the movie Double Indemnity I have always thought about how high school students talk and act like the actors in the film Brick.

What the article MudSugar claims to be about is first how the movie starts and so on. Then it comes to a point where the writer/director wanted to make the film Brick. In this article Rian Johnson it states that he was a really hard working man that ended up getting his wish with the film Brick. In one part of the article Rian Johnson states that the character the Pin and his mom knew how to get around the high school system. Overall in this article it also talks about how Brick is a very good film that Rian Johnson created. As for me I couldn't have agreed anymore with Riaan. I found the film Brick to be a very interesting and educational film.
Willey, Matt. "Brick; Movie Review." Brick Threw Glass. MG Willey. n.d. Web. 23 Apr. 2011.
When I found this article it has caught my attention a lot. I mostly like it because it has pictures involved and compared to the others they don't have images. I find that articles that have images help me understand things more clearly. Overall this article is short but points out the important point of the movie. One is when he is going to meet with a football player to find out about this one place where he could locate his ex-girlfriend. Two when he needs to meet with the main guy of drug dealing at the beach. And lastly, it shows that Brendan goes to a Halloween party to investigate more about Emily in where she could find her by talking to one of Emily's old friend from high school. Brendan ends up following the girl and finds out a little bit of information just by spying on her in who she talks to. Overall I find this article informational because it has these three images.
