Tony Scott reads Brick: Get on the suburban minivan

The Times' lead critic makes fun of the Sundance jury prizes: "Rian Johnson's Brick is a much better movie than either Pretty Persuasion or The Chumscubber, wittily transplanting the hard-boiled language and intricate plotting of classic film noir into a modern suburban high school setting, but it is also an exercise in genre, operating at a knowing, ironic and ultimately safe distance from reality. The jury awarded Brick—you guessed it—one of those special prizes that were suddenly as common as "my child is an honor student" bumper stickers on suburban minivans."
