Brick is a 2005 American neo-noir film written and directed by Rian Johnson. It was Johnson's directorial debut and won the Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival.Brick was distributed by Focus Features, opening in New York and Los Angeles on April 7, 2006.
The film's narrative centers on a hardboiled detective story that takes place in a Californian suburb. Most of the main characters are high school students. The film draws heavily in plot, characterization, and dialogue from hardboiled classics, especially from Dashiell Hammett. The title refers to a block of heroin, compressed roughly to the size and shape of a brick.
High school student Brendan Frye (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is living a lonely existence after breaking up with his girlfriend Emily Kostich (Emilie de Ravin) and betraying his friend Jerr to the authorities.
Brendan receives a phone call from a terrified Emily. She begs him to help her, mentioning a "brick," "poor Frisco," and "the Pin" before abruptly and fearfully hanging up. Her fear appears to have been due to a passing car, from which a distinctive-looking cigarette was thrown. Brendan starts searching for Emily and is eventually able to arrange a meeting through Dode (Noah Segan), leader of a stoner clique that Emily now belongs to. When they meet, Emily recants what she said on the phone and tells Brendan he needs to let her go. Brendan steals her notepad during the encounter, where he finds a clue that leads him to a culvert where he finds her dead body.

Plot
In 1877, a fierce creature, known as Bovinus Spiritualis (the Black Hodag) was discovered in the northern woods of Oneida County, Wisconsin. To this day, locals whisper of the Black Forest, and the curse of the creature that dwells within. "Backwoods Bloodbath" is an old school horror-gore flick about six friends who take a road trip to a back country town where a local legend has been feeding off the population for decades, only to find themselves becoming the latest items on the creature's menu.
The Curse Of The Black Hodag
Something is Watching ... Waiting. Hungry.
Girl, I surrender, that's no lie
You don't remember, how I tried
All I can dream, all I say
Don't make it better
Walking around with a brick in my head
Hanging around, still trying to make it better
Thinking by now, that I'm sick in the head
'Cause it's everything that you don't want
Give you everything, but you don't care
Girl, I love you, but you say you don't
Hell it's everything that you don't want
Girl, it's a wonder, I survived
You are the hunger, burning my insides
Living your dream, call my name
I'll make it better
Walking around with a brick in my head
Hanging around, still trying to make it better
Thinking by now, that I'm sick in my head
'Cause it's everything that you don't want
Give you everything, but you don't care
Girl, I love you, but you say you don't
Hell it's everything that you don't want
Wait a minute, you got a noose around my heart
Come on, come on, come on, squeeze
All that your breaking is my heart
Your gonna freeze it, baby you've gone so cold!

And it's everything that you don't want
Oh yeah, it's everything that you don't want
(Girl, I surrender)
I'll be brave this time
Cause it's everything that you don't want
(Girl, I surrender)
Giving you everything but you don't care
Girl, I love you, but you say you don't
(Girl, I surrender)
It's everything that you don't want
It's all everything that you don't want
(Girl, I surrender)
That's a lie girl
That's no lie girl
(Girl, I surrender)

6 a.m. day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold, car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping, I am numb
An' up the stairs to her apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
They're not home to find us out
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
As weeks went by it showed that she was not fine
They told me son it's time to tell the truth
And she broke down and I broke down
'Cause I was tired of lying
Driving back to her apartment
For the moment we're alone
And she's alone and I'm alone
And now I know it
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
Think quick, hit me with a brick, lickety split
The quicker he flip, the quicker the whip
The turbochip, twenty-four inch dipped
glock on the hip in the kitchen with the magican watchin him mix
I don't give a fuck, somebody pull up in a cement truck
and get some bricks on my lawn, like you diggin it up
its been a droute, no doubt, trying to find a new paper route
Brick-layin like a mason out there, what you about?
Grinder, baller, hustler, servin customers
Money get a hoe-hitter, have him lovin us
From elbows got bank rolls
And all the freshest clothes and all the coke-head stank hoes
I was born in a dope spot, holdin rocks
Foldin knots, baking soda, bubble hot water and pots
Learnin watch for the cops, twenty off every hundred, five-hundred is tops
But my story's untold, cause it's so out cold
Did all of this shit when I was very young
Learned to pack a gun in my early days
And the only thing on my mind was getting paid
Twenty-four/seven sittin in a spot with a mac eleven
Sniff, blow your brains out real quickly
The old people say you can go to jail for that
I got a scale for that, plus a sale for that
Hit me with a brick of that flakey shit
That jump back quick from one-two-five to one-five-six
I'm helluva on the mix
The fiends need a fix
Don't talk no shit
Just hit me with a brick
Thats if your holding
big figure folding
i'm rollin like Nolan
Boomin' like Newman in the fast lane zoomin
lay another brick onto the tower you build
add another inch to it
carry heavy loads and put your back into it
on and on and on you go
don't you waste no more time on these things
raise your head
there's no more time for these things
you said your goodbyes and wiped the dirt of your shoes
left your troubles far behind
you no longer cry
nor look for comfort no more
you work under a clear blue sky
now is the time
so please come to the rescue
she's not as strong as she seems
your words will silence all other voices
Brick baby! That's what I'm gonna throw upside your head
I said now, brick baby, that's what I'm gonna throw upside your head
Yeah, you got me so worried, got me talkin' outta my head
Yeah, you know I love you and you know my love is true
Yeah, I can't understand it, baby, the way you treat me like you do
I'm gonna chuck a brick, baby, I'm gonna chuck a brick at you
I got a brick, baby, I'm gonna throw it upside your head
I said a brick, baby, I'm gonna throw it upside your head
Yeah, ya got me so worried, ya got me talkin' outta my head
Ah, you know I love ya, yeah, you know my live is true
I can't understand it, baby, how you treat me like you do
I'm gonna chuck a brick, baby, I'm gonna chuck a brick at you
(Oh, I'm gonna chuck this brick right here!)
