Drive – Review – A Smart Action Film
Drive is a throw back to the days of Steve McQueen. When heroes let their action do the talking and plots took their audience seriously. Today action movies are about quick cuts and loud explosions but Drive takes its time to set up the plot and the characters. Drive succeeds in building tension and making [...]
Ryan Gosling Steers DRIVE Past Good to Awesome
Drive just might be my favorite movie of 2011. Certainly it is my favorite movie of the year so far. I loved it. Hands down. It is one of those rare movies that I wouldn’t change a thing about, and I say that after going in with high hopes based on Valhalla Rising (director Refn’s [...]
Carey Mulligan is Daisy in The Great Gatsby
Carey Mulligan received a very special phone call from director Baz Luhrmann on Tuesday, but she wasn’t answering to her own name. “Hello, Daisy Buchanan,” the director said as she answered her cell. Mulligan burst into tears immediately. As a late entry in the fight to star opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby, the [...]
No Scarlett Johansson – Carey Mulligan in The Great Gatsby?
More movement on The Great Gatsby occurred today, according to NY Mag, as it appears Carey Mulligan is moving into position for the role of Daisy. Mulligan was one of many vying for the part, with Scarlett Johansson taking an early lead until she took the part in We Bought a Zoo alongside Matt Damon. [...]
Never Let Me Go – movie review
Never Let Me Go is adapted from a book that I have not read. So if you are looking for a book to film comparison, sorry, I can’t give you that—all I can judge is the story as presented in the movie. And while I walked out of this film overwhelmed by emotion and feeling [...]

You’re not going to find many folks around BSC that aren’t keyed up for the January 21 release of Never Let Me Go, the Kazuo Ishiguro-authored masterpiece that Time Magazine calls “the best novel of the decade.” Jury’s out on whether I’d agree with that statement, but it’s definitely worth your time.

Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let me Go – new clip!
Every time I think of Charlotte Rampling, my mind goes back to the early 70′s film Vanishing Point, where she was a white hot representation of Death Incarnate for my reckless driving buddy Kowalski and his supercharged Dodge Challenger. Rampling was a really hot momma back then. Now, not so much, but I’m still excited [...]
Never Let Me Go – Keira Knightley and Cast Posters
Never Let Me Go is an emotional drama from writer Kazuo Ishiguro. A deep and gripping tale of what it means to be human, you would never know that it is, in fact, a fantasy until you read it, and that’s because Ishiguro, the novelist behind The Remains of the Day, knows so well what [...]

Kazuo Ishiguro’s ‘Never Let Me Go’ Trailer with Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan
The blurb in the trailer is right. Never Let Me Go is one of the best books you can can go out and get regardless of your reading preferences. Ishiguro is perhaps my favorite author, and coincidentally I was just talking about this book and forthcoming adaptation at a messageboard community, sharing that I’ve come [...]
