His last one was "Somewhere" last December. So he's one of those anti-Eberts where seeing four stars from him is really exciting.)<br /><br />(I should also note that he was not a fan of "The Tree of Life." But hey, that's a movie begging for at least a few detractors who don't get it, so let's not hold it against him.)Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781388117830165390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765008161115599620.post-55067737604585582662011-08-03T21:27:15.247-07:002011-08-03T21:27:15.247-07:00HATE the font.

Still stylish as shit.<br /><br />Oh and that critic friend of mine, Dustin Putman remarked that "Drive" is the first 4-star film from 2011 for him and the best movie in years. He said, and I quote, "It's incredibly rare that a movie you think looks great exceeds every conceivable expectation you have for it. 'Drive' does, over and over again." He said it's not just a nasty piece of Hollywood thriller, it could very well be the most influential in terms of cinema craft since "Pulp Fiction."<br /><br />So I'm thinkin' he liked it.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781388117830165390noreply@blogger.com
