Ladykillers

Just watched "Ladykillers" the other night. Best movie I've seen in a while. Since, "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou", in fact, which was the same producer. I only know a little Edgar Allen Poe (Tell Tale Heart, Most Dangerous Game), but I get the feeling this movie gets a lot of its ideas from Poe, though it does not apparently come directly from it. It has a lot of Poe references too. Don't let that scare you... its not particularly scary. If you like subtle humor and irony, and can deal with a slower moving plot (but faster than "O Bro, wr art thou" was), you'll like this. No sex scenes either, IIRC.
