Big Hero 6 and The Drop

After three days off from work and a couple of days at school, it's the weekend again and I have a couple of films on the que and a couple more I can post here soooo let's get started!


Big Hero 6
This is Disney's newest animated feature and is about a young boy, his robot, and how they become heroes. Though the plot is not all that original the film makes up for that by injecting a healthy dose of humor and action that keeps adults and kids alike on the edge of their seats. Though there isn't much that I can post here without giving details away but I can say that as you walk away you will find yourself reciting lines from the film and giggling all the day long. Go and pick it up!!



The Drop
This is James Gandolfini's last film and honestly one of my favorites. The film center's around a neighborhood bar that serves as a drop point for illegal money and pick up by underworld forces. The film centers on the bar's manager Cousin Marv (Gandolfini) and Bob (Tom Hardy) and what happens after the bar is robbed by two hoods one dark and stormy night. The film is a hauntingly sad reminder of the talent that was lost when we lost Gandolfini but he's not the only powerhouse in the film. Tom Hardy blows me away as the seemingly slow and gentle character Bob, Marv's cousin and second in command at the bar. We delve deeper into his characters story as he is introduced to Nadia (played by the bombshell Noomi Rapace) and her loads past drama that is following her around. Add to the mix an abused dog, gangsters, and a plot for money and revenge and the film becomes one of my top ten films of all time. By the end of the film you are angry, sad, and pleasantly complete which very few films do these days. This is not only a definite rental, but a solid purchase as well. GO AND GET IT!!!
