Star Trek: Into Darkness - Official Announcement Trailer

     Judge me all you want, but you gotta' love Star Trek! I wouldn't consider myself as one of the die hard fans who run around in costumes all the time, wanting to make love to Patrick Stewart, but it's a pretty good show. In the trailer I got a glimpse of what I thought was Benedict Cumberbatch who was great in Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy and Stuart: A Life Backwards. So I IMDB'd the shit out of this as soon as I finished watching the trailer, and yeah, it's him!

     On a more obscure note, what is it with films nowadays including EXTREMELY bass heavy music in their soundtracks and musical scores? We got it in The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises. It was in Inception and it was in Shutter Island aswell. AND it was in the World War Z trailer (posted below). Everyone has just jumped on this heavy bass soundtrack bandwagon, its probably to make things sound more "epic" and to "immerse" us in these big budget movies. But it just makes me need to take a shit if I'm being honest.

Drive

So after watching Drive for the 100th time today, I've realised it has become one of my favourite films. And no, it isn't because I've got a man crush on Ryan Gosling... Honest.

       How are men supposed to compete with this guy? Fuck you Ryan Gosling, you and your awesome driving gloves. 

    I didn't even realise this film existed until a few months back (probably because I was broke in 2011 when it was released so I couldn't afford to go to the cinema) But put my financial status to one side for a second and even just listening to the soundtrack you know it's gonna' be a good movie. Reminds me a lot of GTA: Vice City sometimes (Another 18+ rated game I played as a child, which if you haven't played, lets just say murdering members of the public for their money is encouraged.) There's also a fuck tonne of violence in Drive as well which caught me off guard a bit. So if you're a bit of a wuss when it comes to seeing a man literally getting his head crushed by Gosling's boot, you might want to give this one a miss and go watch Finding Nemo or something.

    No wonder this won Best Director at Cannes, (thanks, IMDB) the way it's put together keeps you wondering where the hell the film is going, and Gosling puts in the best acting performance I've seen by him as the nameless hero. So thanks, Drive, you've answered the question of what Blu-Ray movie I can buy my Dad for Christmas, and then steal back a week later and add to my film collection. 

 

You have to watch this film... NOW
