A few nights ago we finally got around to watching Sinners (imdb | rotten tomatoes). It was, as I had heard, in roughly two parts: one part setup as the twins return home to Mississippi, and the second part all vampire-fighting. Both parts were very good, but there was a third element I wasn’t expecting: blues.

It was filmed in Louisiana but set in the Delta — there was even a Clarksdale road sign. I heard a version of “Wang Dang Doodle” for the first time in about forty years. There was a Charley Patton reference and even a Buddy Guy sighting.

Yeah. Excellent movie all around.

Side note: the more movies I see him in, the more I appreciate Michael B. Jordan’s retainer-snapping hotness.
