Haven't been as excited about a film in a long time as I am about Drive, some quality trailers out there for it.  Cinema will be hit for the 1st time in a few years.

Looks like another Fast & Furious to me can't say I'm looking forward to it that much.

Looking forward to Drive myself having read the reviews etc.

Don't think it will be anything like Fast & Furious.

Girlfriend made me go to Crazy, Stupid, Love on Sunday, was a lot better than I thought. Carell and Gosling were very funny in it. Some good laughs. Plus Emma Stone and Analeigh Tipton provided the eye candy which helped.

Canalman - agreee with you about t**ker, Tailor I thought there could have been more background on the suspects from "the circus" so we could have tried to make a guess on who the mole was but sure. Still enjoyed it.

It will be nothing like Fast and the Furious.  Gosling actually is very picky about the roles he plays, not an actor who just churns out film after film for the sake of money.  Also, the film has got pretty impressive reviews and was in the running for the palme d'or at Cannes where it received a standing ovation.

Fairly good quality torrent of it here if you are into illegal downloading of movies.

No-one here would be into that illegal carry on.

Watching Heat on Film4. Pacino eating the scenery. Real mess of a film in my eyes, pure wordy Bullshit. DeNiro is good though.

Thought it was great first time I saw it but it doesn't stand up as well as other films such as Goodfellas and LA Confidential on repeat viewings.

Thoroughly agree. Pacino needs a really strong director to keep him reined in, something he's had all too rarely for most of his career. This movie really could have done with, ...oh..  Day Lewis in Pacino's role, tighter editing and shaper dialogue.

This final third has been a big improvement but Mann really let this loose in the middle. I heard Day Lewis criticised for his role in there will be blood for being over-acted but this is the worst I seen. Collateral was much better.

Those films move along quicker though and they are great films, Mann has a tendency to get bogged down in the dialogue. That said there is some great shots in this film. The heist is very captivating and the sound is expertly done.

Drive was absolutely brilliant. Nothing like that Fast and the Furious dirt. Doesn't really rely heavily on car chases and what not at all.

Gosling is brilliant in it as the brooding hero.

Took me a while to realise where I knew Albert Brooks from, he does voices in The Simpsons and was Nemo's da.

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!

What was the name of that film where the main character had the pudding bowl haircut?  Don't remember him saying much.
