Best Blu-Ray Movies

In a year in which Ryan Gosling could do no wrong from romantic comedy (Crazy, Stupid, Love) to political drama (The Ides of March) to this art house actioner--"Drive" stands as the apex of his career-changing film streak. I have, for many years, declared Gosling perhaps the best actor of his generation. Ever since he burst onto the film scene in the controversial "The Believer," Gosling has eschewed being a mainstream "star." Heck, after "The Notebook," another actor might have taken a very different career path. But Gosling, despite a couple of disappointing forays into big budget Hollywood, has remained true to his indie roots. Until now, that is. This year, he seamlessly blended indie cool with mainstream appeal. Of course, in "Drive" he found the perfect filmmaker and artistic collaborator in Danish auteur Nicolas Winding Refn.

It's beautifully shot and the musical score is hauntingly effective.
Ryan Gosling is amazingly subdued and he is able to convey an emotion with a facial expression better than if he were to have 1000 lines of dialogue.It's extremely violent and has some better special effect scenes than some big budget slasher films I have seen.
The entire cast is great and everyone does their part to add to the atmosphere, Carey Mulligan and Bryan Cranston being on par second to Gosling.
It has that indie feel to it but you can tell the budget was large.
The use of lighting was genius incorporating just the right amount of Neon as was most everything else about the film.
Goslings character has no name he's referred to as 'Driver' and it's apropos because he remains almost an enigma with a heart of gold,just don't cross him.His moods being... Read more
