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.

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.
Like nrico2006?

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?

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.

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!

With your hard-ons for Scarface and Manhunter you will love Drive and its electro vibes.

Minder tried to download it for me but made a hash of it.

Short Cuts?

Watched Thor, and Limitless last night.

Thor is what it is - no need for a review (although the ever gorgeous Natalie Portman made it more enjoyable)

Limitless - half good, half weird, half ridiculous. The cinematography put me off it a little bit - but that was a large part of the movie. Looked like I was watching a soap opera. Could have done better with the story they had - enjoyableish all the same.

Watched a movie called "White Irish Drinkers" at the weekend.

Really enjoyable. 8/10
