Kaos' way behind movie reviews

[GH2001]

I don't necessarily like Travolta, but I don't hate on him like a lot do.  He's ok.  I liked Fraser in With Honors and School Ties.  Other than that, can't think of a movie he has been in that I liked.

I agree on Travolta. Sometimes he looks awful but then he will pull off a performance that makes you like him again. He had his moments in Swordfish, and even Ladder 49 was decent. As the firechief he was believable. Some of his older stuff is his bread and butter though - Sat Night Fever, Kotter, Urban Cowboy.

All of the others that K mentioned - they are what they are. Sandler, Reynolds, Cook, Vaughn, James, Kutcher - none of them are bad if you take them at face value. If you expect an A performance out of any of them, that's when you get a letdown. They are silly actors that make slapstick movies for the most part. I don't expect anything more from any of them.

I do think that Freddie Prinze Jr, Paul Walker, Keanu Reeves and Brendan Frazier are some of the worst actors Ive ever seen.

Just to be clear, I may have understated the badassery of Drive.

Watch this movie.

It transcends genre. It is at the same time an action movie, a mobster movie, a suspense/thriller, a film noir, and a little bit of a horror movie.

The "Miami Vice-ish" hot pink title cards, and the Euro-synth-pop soundtrack throughout gives it a distinct 80's feel. Think Scarface.

Highly recommend.

I enjoyed it, but I had watched prior to your recommendation.

I heard the same thing. It's supposed to be like the Miami Vice meets Scarface.

Did it seem real 80's to you? Because I have also heard that about it as well.

Yep, and Ryan Gosling....he's dreamy.

I heard Drive sucked gangrenous donkey balls. 

From multiple sources. 

No thanks.

I mean, damn, all that has been said previously about it in this thread was "Drive was pretty badass", when I was explaining that Gosling is more than just the faggot from The Notebook."

I felt the need to expound a bit.

Your taste in movies never ceases to baffle, but as much as you like mobster movies, I would think you of all people would enjoy this one. Trying to judge your taste in film is next to impossible though, so I could certainly be wrong.

No way dude. Ive heard it is awesome. Has a real 80's euro feel to it. Like Miami Vice.

Just f'n with Chizad. You can thank Jumbo later.

I've watched the movie and thought it was pretty good. The only thing I didn't really like was the number of times there was this dead silence/awkward feeling moments in the acting. I think that was over done a little.

Oh, did you catch the 80's feel? It was a lot like Miami Vice.

Its like Walker Texas Ranger but without the Texas and substitute the 90's with the 80's. Crocket was badass. I guess you could say he possessed badassery.

Huh?  Don't you dare shit on Miami Vice that way!  Drive was lame...  a sleeper...  a second rate attempt at something resembling a movie.  There were some pretty cool parts in it, but that was about it.  It's like a group of stoned high schoolers walked into a cutting room, picked up various scraps off the floor from different movies and assembled a "movie".  It was almost more of a Grindhouse style movie, but it was a bit too slow for that.

I will give you that the first act played pretty slow. It almost could have been an additional genre. More of a romance. By the beginning of the second act though, if your blood wasn't running you have no pulse.

Whoa whoa whoa Mr. alpha male. Hold the phone there (preferbly an 80's euro style phone).



And Ryan Gosling could kick your alpha make ass. He is cool and I am not gay for saying that.

Don't mock my favorite phone...

I'm guessing that I don't have anything to worry about...

No...  That pretty much makes you gay.  Sorry...
