Day 03: A film you currently want to see.




This 1949 film-noir is considered one of the best film-noirs of all time. Holly Martins, a pulp novelist travels down to Vienna after one of his old friends, Harry Lime, dies mysteriously. Holly is now thrown into the investigation to get to the bottom of his friends death.

"The Third Man"currently holds the highest rating a movie can hold on rottentomatoes.com, 100%, with an audience liking of 94%. A modest run-time of 104 minutes, this movie is currently at the top of my list and I anticipate to watch it soon.

Day 02: A film released on the same year that you were born





Not too much to say about this movie. It's a masterpiece. It's absolutely brilliant. One of Scorsese's best. All-star cast. You will be on the edge of your seat and laughing at the same time. Go see it if you haven't already.

Day 01: The last film you saw at the cinema




Do yourself a favor and don't watch any trailers for this movie. I know...I know...in todays day and age of ridiculous movie prices the movie goer wants to know what they are getting into, but trust all the positive feedback this film has gotten. The trailer also gives off a "fake-out" for what kind of movie this is. This is a realistic, violent, gritty movie, which is far from what the trailer makes it out to be, so far in fact that some lady out in "who gives a damn" sued the film for not being what she expected it to be. If you must know what the film is about, here is a very, very brief explanation. Ryan Gosling plays a stunt car driver who gets involved in some...stuff...enough said.

It's rated R, and for good reason, so don't take your kids to go see it. The violence is real and hits you over the head when you least expect it. It starts out slow but quickly switches gears and goes from 0 to 100 in a heartbeat. The realism in this movie keeps you glued to the screen the entire time.

This film is a breath of fresh air for those of us that are looking for something more than the average Hollywood popcorn movies. It has a different feel to it due to the fact that it pays homage to 80's B-Movies with a tinge of classic Western film elements.

The acting is superb. Ryan Gosling was already a favorite of mine from Blue Valentine, but it's almost like he was born to play this role. I can't say enough good things about this movie. If you can stand the realistic, gritty violence, then Drive is the film for you.
