    New Movie: Drive


    The Drive Movie 2011 brief: Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn (BRONSON, THE PUSHER trilogy, VALHALLA RISING) throttles into the Hollywood fast lane with precision-crafted crime caper Drive. Ryan Gosling stars as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire, stunt driving for movie productions by day and steering getaway vehicles for criminal operations by night. A loner by nature, Driver can’t help falling in love with his beautiful but vulnerable neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan), a young mother dragged into a dangerous criminal underworld by the return of ex-convict husband Standard (Oscar Isaac). After a heist operation, intended to help Standard pay off protection money, spins out of control, Driver finds himself driving defense for the girl he loves, tailgated by a syndicate of deadly serious criminals (Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman). When the gangsters reveal that they’re after more than the bag of money in his trunk—that they’re coming straight for Irene and her son—Driver is forced to shift gears and go on the offense. DRIVE was written by Hossein Amini, adapted from a book by James Sallis, and produced by Marc Platt, Gigi Pritzker, Michel Litvak, Adam Siegel and John Palermo; executive producers are David Lancaster, Gary Michael Walters, Bill Lischak and Linda McDonough.

    What did I think? I think this movie definitely made you feel something. That ‘something’ is tension, nervousness and true empathy for each character. Maybe Gosling’s character was in the marines or the army in his previous life? That could explain his oddly quiet nature and finesse with weapons. What do you think?

    Obsessed with @OCCMakeup

    We gave you the news that Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics was opening their flagship store in the Lower East Side last week.  I attended the grand opening and wanted to give you a peek…

    Located at 174 Ludlow Street, NY

    Of course, it’s best that you get down there yourself to check out this 100% vegan line.

    This was my first time experiencing OCC and I was impressed by their wide range of bold colors and the professional quality of the makeup.  I’m currently sporting a mani in Strumpet Nail Lacquer ($8), a retro plum-red with a satin finish, and rocking Lip Tar ($13) in Pretty Boy, a rich, saturated fuschia.  A little goes a long way with these products.  One coat gave me a rich, professional manicure and just a dab of the Lip Tar was all I needed for the entire night!

    India Arie – Truth

    “The Truth”

    [Spoken:]
    Let me tell you why I love him

    [Chorus:]
    Cause he is the truth
    Said he is so real
    And I love the way that he makes me feel
    And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly cause
    his light it shines so bright I wouldn’t lie

    [Verse 1:]
    I remember the very first day that I saw him
    I found myself immediately intrigued by him
    Its almost like I knew this man from another life
    Like back then maybe I was his husband and maybe he was my wife
    And even, the things I don’t like about him are fine with me
    Because its not hard for me to understand him because he’s so much like me
    And its truly my pleasure to share his company
    And I know that it’s God’s gift to breathe the air he breathes

    [Repeat Chorus]

    [Verse 2:]
    How can the same man that makes me so mad
    -do you know what he did-[spoken]
    Turn right around and kiss me so soft
    -girl do you know what he did-[spoken]
    If he ever left me, I wouldn’t even be sad, no
    Cause there’s a blessing in every lesson
    And I’m glad that I knew him at all

    [Repeat Chorus]

    I love the way he speaks
    I love the way he thinks
    I love the way he treats his mama
    I love that gap in between his teeth
    I love him in every way that a woman can love a man from personal to universal but most of all its unconditional

    -you know what I’m talking about-[spoken]
    Thats the way I feel
    -and I always will-[spoken]

    There ain’t no substitute for the truth
    either it is or isnt
    cause he is the truth
    you see the truth it, needs no proof
    either it is or it isnt
    Cause he is the truth
    Now you know the truth by the way it feels
    and if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
    cause he is yes he is
    I wonder does he know
