Becky and I went to see the new movie Drive last night at the AMC Theater in Castle Rock, CO. The Fandango website at Drive, which is a good site to check for show times, describes the movie as follows:

“A Hollywood stuntman (Ryan Gosling) who moonlights as a getaway driver for thieves finds that a price has been put on his head after a failed robbery.“

The Review 
Drive is one of the worst movies we’ve seen in a long time.  What’s crazy is that the critics said it was “Extraordinary”, really?  All we can figure is because Albert Brooks is playing a bad guy, which is pretty unbelievable in itself, and Ryan Gosling is probably going to get “Sexiest Man Alive” on People Magazine this year.  Other than that we can’t figure out what they could possibly like about this film?

The name Drive you would think there would be some incredible driving, but there’s not much driving in this movie.  What there is though is dialogue like a 1970’s movie, music like a 1980’s movie and more graphic violence than a Quentin Tarantino flick.  Some of the violence in this movie is downright disturbing, like when the main character kicks the head in of a thug, until his head is no longer there.  It was demented.

The only good thing about this movie was the Preview.  As one woman said coming out of the film, “There is more dialogue in a Dr. Seuss book than that movie.”.  The bottom line is that this movie sucked in a big way.  Drive this movie off a cliff and “Don’t Bother”.

Becky and I went to see the new movie Warrior this past week at the AMC Theater in Castle Rock, CO. The Fandango website at Warrior, which is a good site to check for show times, describes the movie as follows:

“Two estranged brothers and Mixed Martial Arts fighters confront the forces that tore their family apart as they prepare to do battle in the ring in this drama from director Gavin O’Connor (Pride and Glory). Tommy Riordan (Tom Hardy) is an ex-Marine from Pittsburgh who’s never quite shaken his troubled past. Upon learning that the purse in an upcoming MMA tournament is the largest in the league’s history, Tommy recruits his father (Nick Nolte), a former coach and recovering alcoholic, to whip him into shape in time for the competition…”

The Review
Warrior is up there with The Debt as one of the better movies we’ve seen this year.  The characters are interesting, the story is very well done and it’s an exciting movie like Rocky.  However, it’s not all about martial arts fighting, but the dynamics between a family in pain from resentment and bitterness.  The movie has a number of plot twists that will keep you interested in the flick with a few surprises.

The amount of hatred that one of the characters has been caring his whole life toward his father and brother has defined who he has become.  It reminded me a bit of the story of Absalom, the son of King David in the Bible who rebelled against his father then King because of decisions David had made that had angered him.  Fortunately, the outcome in this film is better than that of Absalom, but like that story it really shows how unforgiveness can destroy lives.

Nick Nolte is amazing in this movie and should get an award for his portrayal of the father.  The two brothers looked like they could be brothers and it’s wild.

Becky and are are both giving Warrior a “Don’t Miss It”. Be sure and put it on your list, even if you’re not a fan of Mixed Martial Arts, you should really like this movie.

Becky and I went to see the new movie The Debt on Friday at the AMC Theater in Highlands Ranch, CO with our friends Mark & Maria. The Fandango website at The Debt, which is a good site to check for show times, describes the movie as follows:

“The espionage thriller begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (Helen Mirren) and Stefan (Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds). All three have been venerated for decades by their country because of the mission that they undertook back in 1966, when the trio (Jessica Chastain, Marton Csokas, and Sam Worthington) tracked down Nazi war criminal Vogel (Jesper Christensen) in East Berlin. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team’s mission was accomplished – or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations.”

The Review
The Debt is definitely one of the best films of the year.  The acting is great, the story is really good and the directing is superb.  It’s doing pretty well at the Box Office, but this is a movie that could be up for Best Picture this year because it’s so well done.  The movie is disturbing at times because it deals with a group of young people who are chasing down a murdering Nazi, who is hiding out in the Soviet block to avoid being brought to trial for his crimes.

This movie is really exciting with a number of twists and turns.  I can’t really think of a movie that it’s like, which was what made it so good since it was so unique.  It jumps around from when they are young to old and that made it entertaining.  There is this one part of the film toward the start of the movie that made me jump and it was pretty funny because I actually threw my water in the air and it landed on Becky and I.  I can’t remember the last time I did something like that, which was definitely memorable.

Becky and are are both giving The Debt a “Don’t Miss It”. Mark and Maria like it too and were glad they went to see it.  Be sure and put it on your list.
