She's a Brick and I'm drowning slowly
 Hello Cinecast Listener,
From Chicago, this is The Dope Sheet...
Thank you to everyone who has signed up for this weekly email
blast. We haven't actually promoted it on the show yet, so we'll wait
until next Monday to jump into the mailbag and address your questions
-- which you can send to
dopesheet@cinecastshow.com.
I did want to take a moment to address a few show notes though...
Sam and I have decided to delay our review of the 4th film in our
Musicals Marathon, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers." We were
going to discuss it in tandem with "An American In Paris," but
"Paris" deserves our full attention. We'll tack "Seven Brides" on to
the end of the Marathon as we'd prefer not to postpone "West Side
Story" for next week.
A number of people have emailed us suggesting that we need to
review the movie "Brick," which just opened last Friday in New
York and L.A. It's a noir-style, high school thriller set in modern
day Southern California that recently won the Sundance Jury Prize for
Originality of Vision. I'd say more, but you'd be better served to
just go to the
film's official site.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who was so good in last year's "Mysterious
Skin," heads up the cast.
"Brick" is supposed to expand this Friday (4/7) to Boston,
Chicago, Dallas, Washington D.C., Denver, Minneapolis, Seattle, San
Francisco, Portland, San Diego, and Atlanta... or as Sam and I call
it, the 'ATL.'
Your emails and the little we've read about the film have us
sufficiently intrigued. In fact, we may review it next week while
we're recording in New York instead of the Sidney Lumet-directed
"Find Me Guilty". Hey, you
gotta love Lumet -- and it fits perfectly with our NYC theme for the
show -- but let's be honest, "Guilty" looks kind of terrible.
Thanks for listening!
Adam
