~*~Synth~*~ Admit it. You'd plant vag on Harrison Ford if given the opportunity. Return to the force for questionable quizzes, synthetic siblings, and nonconforming narration. The person most confused by the movie this week was: the replicant daddy who got skull crushed by his hot son.

Take Chinatown, fold in some 10 Things I Hate About You, and garnish with a sprig of Rushmore.  What you get is Rian Johnson 2005 directorial debut film, Brick.  Transporting all the tropes of a neo-noir detective story to a contemporary high school setting, this movie pays homage while always feeling like its own unique thing.  Topics in this episode include ways to film on a shoe-string budget, growing to love Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 3rd string footballers that captivate an audience, and much more.

Episode 43 - L.A. Confidential (1997) - Full Review Movie Podcast

1997 was the year of TITANIC but should it have been the year of L.A. Confidential? We will answer that question and more in one of out favourite episodes to date.

LA Confidential is a 1997 crime thriller directed by Curtis Hanson that tells the story of three Los Angeles police officers and their involvement in a corruption scandal in the 1950s. The movie features an all-star cast, including Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, and Kim Basinger.
The film's plot is complex and intricate, with several intertwining storylines that keep the audience engaged throughout. The actors' performances are outstanding, with each delivering a nuanced portrayal of their characters. In particular, Russell Crowe's performance as Bud White stands out as one of his best.
The movie also features stunning cinematography that captures the gritty atmosphere of 1950s Los Angeles perfectly. The attention to detail in recreating the look and feel of this time period is impressive and adds to the authenticity of the story.
One of the most notable aspects of LA Confidential is its commentary on police corruption and Hollywood's influence on law enforcement during this era. It raises important questions about power dynamics and systemic corruption that are still relevant today.

Overall, LA Confidential is a masterful crime thriller that combines excellent performances, stunning visuals, and a thought-provoking storyline to create a truly unforgettable cinematic experience. If you're a fan of crime dramas or just looking for an engaging movie to watch, LA Confidential should definitely be on your list.
