    Drive

    The year of Ryan Gosling continues ... I will forewarn that this movie is not for everyone ... there are some scenes of brutal violence ... also, it's not action packed ...

    but it is sublimely brilliant ... the characters ... the drama built on what is known as opposed to what is said ... ryan gosling and albert brooks are fantastic ... same with the guy who plays shannon ...

    for those that like darker movies ... this one's for you!

    i just got back from this. i enjoyed it, wasn't great, but pretty damn good. The violent scenes were pretty awesome. I jumped out of my seat one even. And the three girls in front of me were cringing and screaming at certain parts.

    I wasn't really a ryan gosseling fan to begin with but the past two movies i've seen him in i thought he did well (crazy stupid love and this). Oh yeah the guy who played Shannon was the dad in Malcolm In The Middle :lol: ( i didn't realize who he was until i got back home and looked at the cast.


    i;d suggest watching everything gosling is in. i make a point of seeing any movie that comes out that he's in. He was mindblowing in Lars and the Real Girl, one of the best films of 08, and should have been nominated for blue valentine. havent seen crazy stupid yet, but he and michelle williams in blue valentine were devastating. and half nelson in 06 was amazing. The notebook was great as well.

    He;s one of the best of our generation.

    r u a girl by any chance? ;):lol:

    just watched "buried" with ryan reynolds. that was annoying.
  • no im a fan of great art. someone as talented as gosling deserves to be praised and recognized. i make a point of going out of my way to see the work of people who are head and shoulders above the rest. any sean penn movie, any phillip seympour hoffman, daniel day lewis, brad pitt, johnny depp etc...

    and thats crazy you didnt like buried. one of the best and most underrated films of the year. A hyped up movie that lived up to the hype. few thrillers these days, keep up the suspense from frame 1, until the last second. Unique film as well, nearly every frame is of him in a coffin, with what, just a bic lighter and a cell phone. brilliant film. Ryan Reynolds deserves praise for that role
  • Yes, Gosling is shockingly brilliant and Drive totally cements it. Here's my full review: http://wp.me/p1LZHn-5B

    Best film of 2011 thus far.

    'Paul' was a dumb movie ~ unwatchable, although, I did watch the entire movie. :lol:
    Yeah, guys, the deed was done. :lol: I would have to agree with both of you--it was dumb, yet better than I expected (as I, too, expected very little). My favorite part was when Jason Bateman shot the radio in the car if that tells you anything. :shock: Oh, and I did love Paul's shiny, pretty eyeballs. :lol:

    Saw it last night, very good movie. Philip Seymour Hoffman did a very feisty Art Howe and Jonah Hill was very good as Paul DePodesta or Peter Bland.

    Watched "The Lion King" last night for around the hundredth time when I babysat my two little cousins. I love that movie.
