At something shy of five minutes, Parigot, a French-made animated film, would be a tough sell for a car chase movie. For one thing, there are no cars in it, only a bicycle powered by an outboard engine vintage motorcycle.

A Michigan woman is suing FilmDistrict Distribution LLC, the outfit that distributed Drive, and the theater where she watched said Ryan Gosling action-drama thriller, all because the trailer had made it seem like the movie was gonna be just like Fast and Furious (not the gun-trafficking operation but the street-racing movie series) and it wasn't totally wasn't at all.

Michael Mann's Heat is a study in wonderfully pure action filmmaking with hints of influence from Japanese new wave yakuza directors like Suzuki and Shinoda, shot before Tarantino perfected the homage with Kill Bill.

Give credit to the director of this music video for making me volunteer to listen to this remarkably awful song in order to see a period correct-looking Charger and Mustang race around the streets of San Francisco. It's for the song "Fun" by someone named Sharam. It's like "Friday" but less catchy and more repetitive. More »
