Drive. Cracking '70's heist-gone-wrong homage with a killer soundtrack and a fantastic cast.

I thought the soundtrack was awful. Electro-pop and ballads didn't suit the tone of the film imo.

I saw your post a few pages back and I was surprised at your response to the movie. You're way out of step with critical thinking, Gerry!

I think you're right. It's got an 8.4 rating on IMDB, that's the same as 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is also shit :)

We're you in a bad mood the day you watched it? Tell me about your problems.

I was certainly in a bad mood after I watched it; all that arty slo-mo was a right pain in the nads. The introduction of the ballad led me to shout out "What the f**k is this shit." (Admittedly not my most intellectual critique.)

Monsters. What a load of shit.

One Missed Call. Rubbish.

Didn't you just want the 2 leads to die as fast as possible? completely unlikable.

Utter waste of time. Nothing happened!

The Tony Blair thing (Tony Blair at Large). Quite funny. How I hate the bastard. Intrigued by the emphasis on 60's music.

Intrigued?

Wow

Why?

Wasn't it obvious?

Nice homage to The Third Man with a few other thrown in along he way (The Fugitive for one). A few laughs here and there but, as with most Comic Strip outings, it fell short of all out belly laughs.

'Thor', a pretty fun film.

Just watched that tonight as well.
I enjoyed it.

Watched Captain America: The First Avenger yesterday. Nowhere near as good as Thor but, there again, the whole character really does nothing for me. It wasn't as bad as I thought it might be however but I did start to lose interest at some points.
