Drive
R
"Drive is one of the most gripping, intense & well-made flicks in a long time. Ryan Gosling yet gives another virtuoso performance (probably his best so far) in his already fascinating career. While he supported a great round of cast featuring a surprisingly dramatic but powerful turn by Albert Brooks who got snubbed by the Oscars followed by another good performance by Carey Mulligan, another good role for both Oscar Isaac and Ron Perlman. With Christina Hendricks and Bryan Cranston rounding up the cast. Drive also features a great, cool soundtrack and a great score by Cliff Martinez, that 80's vibe and just a work of art. Outstanding flick."
Chronicle
PG-13
"Cloverfield meets X-Men = an interesting, clever and cool movie. That's what Chronicle is: a clever, funny, interesting, cool & original flick. It's my fave flick of the year - so far. This is another "found footage" movie from the likes of The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity movies, Cloverfield, The Last Exorcism & Quarantine (fan of the latter 4 movies) and trailers made it look like to be another typical shaky hand-held film where you get to watch and wait for interesting things to happen but guess what? That's not the case with this."
This is a very clever, orignal, funny and fun entertaining low-budget flick with guess what: VERY likeable characters and good acting from 3 potential rising stars in DeHaan, Jordan (whom I remember from The Wire & Hardball when he was a kid) & Russell who are all funny, very cool and fun guys to watch doing telekinis, powers on objects, people (for fun), etc for 75 minutes."
"The only thing to hate about this movie is that it's very short (75 minutes) and leaves you wanting more. Chronicle is miracously original, something we haven't seen before in a movie in a long time thanks to first time director Josh Trank and it's 3 appealing rising actors."
