    Drive Angry

    I hesitated putting this in the horror section, cuz its more of a revenge flick. but it is a guy thats broke out of hell thats tracking down a satanic cult so what the hell, I'll put it here. This is another one going for the Grindhouse feel. Not all attempts are gonna be good but I'd rather see an attempt than not. And this time? I had a lot of fun with it. This movie is way over the top, but it knows that. It doesn't try to be something that it isn't. Lots of blood, and some tits too which always helps. Something movies tend to not have very much of these days.

    The only problem I had with this was Nic Cage really. He tries to come off as an over the top menacing character but doesn't really pull it off really. Lines like "hell already is walkin the earth" don't come outta him as bad ass as you'd hear them in your head if say this was a book you were reading. But it made me laugh a lot, and had over the top violence so in the end I was happy. Its only made like 11 million so I dunno how good that is compared to the budget. Kinda sad considering this is more along the lines of what I would have wanted for Ghost Rider. Even though I had problems with Cage in this flick you could tell he was having fun with it. Almost thinking what I was thinking. "Now I feel like Ghost Rider." So if your into the "grindhouse" type movies thats coming out these days. You like over the top violence thats ridiculously fun with some boobs thrown in (in 3D I might add, which is pretty good 3D in this movie) then check this movie out. I had fun with it, which is all I expected out of it.

    Cage is over-saturating the industry lately. He needs to take a year off and let us learn to miss him, not see him in every third new release. That said, this is one of his better recent attempts. Not exactly an instant classic, but easier to sit through than Sorcerer's Apprentice or Season of the Witch.

    Actually Cage's only two exceptions in my eyes are Con Air and Face/Off. Love both of those movies. Anything else..

    I think Cage gets way too much flack. His movies are alright...sometimes? I'm not his biggest fan, but I wouldn't say I hate him. I would rent this.

    I have nothing against him, to be honest. I just dislike this mad grab for any role he can get because he lost all his cash to whatever that was that screwed him a while back. A Cage overdose, if you will. I just want him to take a year off, maybe recapture the fun he had making Face Off or Con Air, and get away from the "I just need the cash" half-ass performances of late. He is one of those actors that can't hide when he does a role for fun and when he does it for a pay check... rather see the 'for fun' Cage more.

    I may just cut this type of movie too much slack but I didn't think his acting was all that bad. I thought Season of the Witch felt way more forced and a bit preachy.
