Drive will always be a special movie for me. It was four weeks ago tonight that I went to the theatre to see this flick. It was two days before my wedding. I had some friends coming in late that night so I decided to catch a 9:45 show so I could stay up to greet them. It was the perfect movie to see to zone out for a few hours after months of stress and pressure helping put the wedding together (which by the way went even better than expected) Anyway the move was a bit simplistic (and I don't mean that as a jab) It didn't have too much lengthy dialogue and after a bit of a love story the action kicked in, and yes as the reviews say it does get a little violent. One of the first things I noticed while watching the movie was the "throwback 80's feel" (and we all know how much I love the 80's!)with the satin Scorpion Jacket, sort of good guy vs. really evil guys and of course the music. I had never heard any of the songs from the movie till that night. They all had heavy synthesizers with mainly female vocalists. In fact I figured all the tunes were by the same band but when I checked out the album afterwards I was completely wrong. When I first heard the tunes I didn't really know what to think of them but after a few plays they started to grow on me and after listening to the samples on Amazon I knew that I had to have the album. Anyway I don't know if it was just the excitement and anticipation of my wedding day or if the movie and soundtrack were just that good. (Although I think the songs will have a bigger impact if you see the movie first) I guess you'll have to decide on your own, but for me this movie and soundtrack will always put a little smile on my face.
