The studios sure are getting lazy with the titles these days

The Debt - 3.5/5
Akira - 4/5

[Hellboy]

Drive - 9.5/10

The coolest most confident film I've seen in years. Probably since Michael Mann's masterpiece Heat. This could quite possibly be my favorite film of 2011. Its a bold statement I know, and I probably need to let it soak in a while longer before making that assessment but I absolutely loved every single shot. The story is nothing new really. In fact its rather simplistic and is definitely more style than substance but Drive's style is what makes it so refreshing. This film hits all the marks for me. Amazing performances, perfect pacing, well written dialogue and a soundtrack that compliments the underlying tension beautifully. Simply put this is a well crafted piece of cinema.

I see this and all I think is "another "Too Fast..." movie; but I never gave those a shot either, and this film's getting far better reviews than any of those ever did, so... I guess I'll rent it tomorrow. Nice review, Scott.

Ryan trust me, this is no Fast & Furious. If anything I could see the typical ADD moviegoer complaining that its to slow. Both Rod and Tony recommended this movie to me, obviously both of them know my tastes VERY well but unfortunately I wasn't able to catch it theatrically. Its not your typical popcorn fare.

Drive was great and has absolutely nothing in common with the Fast and Furious movies. Its much more of a thinker / thriller than an action movie. And as much as I enjoyed it and Gosling was great, there was one (very minor) thing that nagged on me and that was that Goslings character just seemed a little to young to have such experience and composure. For example, if you draw a comparison with Neil McCauley in Heat (methodical, composed, professional), DeNiro really looked like he'd been through it all, whereas Gosling is just a little too baby faced, if that makes sense. Still a great movie though.

Green Lantern 7/10

Maybe its cos i don't really know the comics but don't really know what all the hate is about

Predators 7/10 not too bad but could have done with more predators. Better than any of the AVP and a good Predator 1.5

Thanks for this review, I'm going to probably blindly-buy this soon. Sounds like it is something really worth the blu-ray price to me
