Rush

Daniel Brühl con­tem­plates his imme­di­ate future in the excel­lent Rush. I can relate. I review that movie, and the less excel­lent but highly inter­est­ing Prisoners, for MSN Movies this week.

    Oh, Loki is low-key, as in laid-back.
    I thought it was a ref­er­ence to Holly Loki and the Chordettes.
    God, I’m stupid.

    Some real expert lip-pursing right there.

    I thought Rush was quite good as well. The racing scenes how­ever aren’t quite as good as the scenes in Frankenheimer’s Grand Prix. But it seems pretty obvi­ous that Frankenheimer was more inter­ested in the kick-ass nature of fast Formula One cars and racing action than plot, while Howard is more inter­ested in telling a human story we can all relate to than fast driv­ing. I’d recom­mend both to any race car fan but for dif­fer­ent reasons.
