Flavie's Film Review: Drive

Flavie's Film Review: Drive by Nicolas Winding Refn

I know what you are thinking: I don't have a social life.

Well it's partly true when it's raining and when there are a lot of movies I want to see.

"A Hollywood stunt performer who moonlights as a wheelman discovers that a contract has been put on him after a heist gone wrong." - IMDb 

I read the reviews about this movie last week and I knew I had to see it.

I have to warn you: it's a stylish movie with a lot of gore scenes.

If you just want to watch Ryan Gosling in a happy-go-lucky movie, try Crazy, Stupid Love. 

I found the soundtrack to be particularly brilliant. Here is a taste:

The photography is mind-blowing when the director plays with the city lights.

The montage is pretty efficient to show the quick turn of event.

It doesn't tell us everything, but gives us enough clues to guess what happened.

Once again, I'm impressed with Ryan Gosling's versatility. This guy can do everything!

I saw him in All the Good Things last month where he played a 60 years old psychopath killer

that liked to dress in women's clothing. Pretty intense.

I give it an 8 out of 10. This is not your typical hollywood movie and I like it. It's clean, it's gore, Ryan Gosling: can't go wrong with that! Don't bring your date to see this, though; she'll think you are a psychopath.

Question of the Post: Hate or love Ryand Gosling? Overexposed brat or the next George Clooney?

Flavie's Film Review: Café de Flore

Second movie review of the week, and it's not over yet!

This time, I'll be talking about the beautiful Café de Flore by Jean-Marc Vallée.
I know it's in french, but it's worth the effort to put subtitles.
I would not be surprise if this film end up at the Oscars.

«A love story between a man and woman. And between a mother and her son. A mystical and fantastical odyssey on love.» -IMDb

This movie really touched me. I found the soundtrack delightful, I will download it on Itunes that's for sure!
In my opinion, Evelyne Brochu is one of the most beautiful woman on the planet. She's fresh, natural and played her part well.
Also, for a first time actor, Kevin Parent killed it. I really believed in his character.

 If you believe in true love, this movie is for you.
If you don't, you will leave the movie theater depressed as hell.

I give it a 9,5 on 10. It has been a long time since I've been moved  that much by a movie.
I strongly recommand it to everyone interested in love story and music.

Flavie's Film Review: Money Ball

«The story of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane's successful attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players» -Youtube

Ok girls, lets have a little chat.
I know baseball is not your thing and it will ne never be.
BUT, you should watch Moneyball by Bennett Miller.

For three reasons:
A) Brad Pitt. nough' said. (Seriously, he's good/ believable/ natural)
He filled the part of Billy Bean perfectly and he is easy to watch (if you know what i mean *wink wink)

B) Jonah Hill.
He's not the fat stoner kid from Superbad anymore. He's wiser, grown-up and Yale trained.
His appraoch to baseball with a stats system is just plain GENIOUS.
You're in management? That's your application of Stats right there!


C) Aaron Sorkin
If you don't know who that is, go google him RIGHT NOW.
He is just the most brilliant writer of this generation. If you've seen The West Wing or Social Network.
you know he creates the most intellectualy interesting dialogue EVAR.

I give it a 9 on 10. It's a GOOD movie like you don't see around that much. Some scenes are just too brilliant to be true. You will laugh your ass off, I garan*fucking*ty it. I watched it in french (against my will, i have to admit) and it was still brilliant.

I do not give it a 10 on 10. But only because it's about baseball.
I know, I'm mean like that.  Haha.

Love yall, more movie reviews coming soon.
