F1: Brad Pitt and Damson Idris Speed to Cinematic Glory in Thrilling, Uplifting Racecar Blockbuster
5 out of 5 stars (one of the best I’ve seen in a long time) F1 is why we go to the movies. I couldn’t tell you the first thing about racecar driving or name any famous drivers, but I love this movie to pieces. It’s an example of an ever-rare type of movie in… Continue Reading
