I liked that movie. Nobody else here did.

Drive is different to say the least. Watched it with 4 others and split opnions on it.

Must be a record for the least amount of dialogue from a main character though!

The American, staring George Clooney. His script must have ran to almost half a file page.

Twilight on telly tonight. Worth a look? Sounds very chickflickish.

Just bought The Prophet (French Gangster film). Alphadog and The Lives of Others in a VdeP shop for E4 for the lot. Well worth checking these shops out.

Don Johnson

Have all three of those you bought Canalman. The Lives Of Others the pick of the lot.

Alpha Dog isn't bad, Bully is along the same vein, think it is better.

Wouldn't waste my time watching Twilight, know too many wee girls who love it and wouldn't have any taste at all.

Twilight is actually very good, the 2nd one was dirt but the third one was also good.

The Prophet is a clinker. So good I watched it twice in a week.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Watched Drive last night. Quality film. Won't be everyone's cup of tea but definitely worth a watch.

"A Prophet" -  one of the best films in recent years
Good value you got the Canalman!

The Iceman

transformers 3 - liked the effects, not much else going on but good enough for what it was intended.

My lips are sealed. I tried to watch it when it was on Channel Four one Sunday I think to see what the fuss was about. Too much adolescent moodiness in it to keep me watching.

Downloaded the Drive soundtrack last night, brilliant. 80s electronica throwbacks.

Not sure what to make of Drive. The closing sequence combination of that particular music and shimmering city light reminds me of a film I can't quite put my finger on. Anyone any suggestions?

Don Johnson

The music to me was like a cross of Scarface and Grand Theft Auto : Vice City.

Was gonna say, without having seen the movie I'd have a guess at some Giorgio Moroder electronica.

gallsman

I'm convinced the film I'm trying to think of is one of those Crash/Babel style films where lots of plots are interconnected. Film definitely closes with some piece of what I'd almost call "orchestral" electronic music like that towards the end of Drive, and am convinced there's a nighttime cityscape, almost certainly of LA. Doing my bloody head in!
