So right Piper Amber Heard Casino Jack Cedar Rapids away we know where we're The Accountant William Fichtner on sale now Certifiably Jonathan at. Here is an exercise in Jonah King Billy Burke Chicago Heights deliberate vulgarity, gross Webster David Morse The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader excess, and the Frank Todd Farmer The Company Men pornography of violence, Mona Christa Campbell Country Strong not to forget garden variety Candy Charlotte Ross Drive Angry 3D pornography. You get your Cap Tom Atkins The Eagle money's worth. Even the Rain Fat Lou Jack McGee The Fighter A movie review should The Grapes of Wrath (1940) determine what a movie Summit Entertainment presents a The Green Hornet Buy now » hoped to achieve, and film directed by Patrick Lussier. Gulliver's Travels whether it succeeded. The Screenplay by Todd Farmer & Hall Pass ambition of "Drive Angry Lussier. Running time: 104 Hidden Love The Housemaid 3D" is to make a grind minutes. MPAA rating: R for strong house B movie so jaw- How Do You Know? brutal violence throughout, grisly I Am Number Four droppingly excessive that images, some graphic sexual I Love You Phillip Morris even Quentin Tarantino content, nudity and pervasive The Illusionist might send flowers. It language. Inspector Bellamy succeeds. I can't say I Just Go With It Buy now » enjoyed it. But I can Printer-friendly » Kaboom appreciate it. It offends E-mail this to a friend » The King's Speech every standard of taste The Leopard except bad. But it is well Louder Than a Bomb made. Loveless The Mechanic Of course it stars Nicolas My Dog Tulip Cage. Is there another actor who could or would have dared to sign Night Catches Us on? Cage is a good actor in good movies, and an almost No Strings Attached Poetry indispensable actor in bad ones. He can go over the top so Rabbit Hole Buy now » effortlessly he rests up and makes lemonade for everybody. Here he Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale plays a man named John Milton, a reference I fear will be lost on the The Rite film's target audience. Milton is hell-bent to rescue his baby Sanctum granddaughter. A Satanic cult enslaved and murdered his daughter, Season of the Witch and now plans to sacrifice the infant by the light of the full moon. Somewhere This Milton cannot abide. Strongman The Tempest The cult is led by Jonah (Billy Burke), who is obeyed by slavish Tiny Furniture followers he seems to have recruited from porn movies and guests The Tourist Tron: Legacy Buy now » on Jerry Springer shows about redneck incest. Their idea of partying is a topless orgy around a fire in an abandoned prison yard, while True Grit swigging Jack Daniels and warming up for a midnight infanticide. Unknown Waste Land Their ranks are swelled by the usual shaved-headed and tattooed The Way Back fatsos. There must be a pool of Hollywood extras who play big, bald guys who can take three steps forward and glower into the camera. more current releases »

Anyway, Milton's quest begins in a bar named Bull by the Balls, where he meets a barmaid named Piper (Amber Heard). After on dvd inconceivable violence, they link destinies. You've heard of girls Buy now » attracted to the wrong kinds of guys? Nic Cage plays a guy here new on dvd who, if he was a girl, Nic Cage would be afraid of. Piper inexplicably stays with Milton, despite many questions which are even better than Love and Other Drugs (3/1) she thinks. Heard makes a plucky heroine who, although Piper's Just Before Nightfall (3/1) sexy and Milton likes the ladies, doesn't fall into the usual abyss of Burlesque (3/1) "love interest" but slugs it out like a cage fighter. Megamind (2/25) Memento (2/22) Leaving (2/22) On their trail is the enigmatic Accountant (William Fichtner). This Last Train Home (2/22) seemingly spoiler supernatural figure is relentless in pursuit, yet Get Low (2/22) Buy now » moves with the speed of a plodding gumshoe when he's not at the Fish Tank (2/22) wheel of a muscle car or, oh, say, a tank truck filled with liquid Due Date (2/22) hydrogen. (The movie of course contains the official quota of Walking-Away-From-Fiery-Explosions-In-Slo-Mo Shots.) As Milton more new on dvd » chases Jonah and the Accountant chases Milton, Jonah's followers chase Milton, which is a great convenience, allowing "Drive Angry coming on dvd 3D" to be more or less nothing but chase scenes, except for some interior gun battles and much portentous dialogue. (Cage brings an Around a Small Mountain (3/8) inimitable personal touch to "The bullet is still in there." Pause. "I can Four Lions (3/8) feel it.") Inside Job (3/8) Buy now» Hereafter (3/15) Gene Siskel drew the line at Children in Danger. As a father he Hidden Love (3/15) Waste Land (3/15) disapproved of thrillers that exploited violent scenes involving kids. The Times of Harvey Milk (3/22) What would he have made of an extended sequence here where All Good Things (3/29) Jonah commands one of his followers to sacrifice an infant? He Fair Game (3/29) would have despised it, I believe. The only justification for it is that this entire movie is so broadly, grotesquely over the top that the baby more coming on dvd » is more of a prop than a human child. And "Drive Angry 3D" trusts its audience to put every principle of Western civilization on hold. great movies on dvd Buy now» So my review is a compromise. I'm giving it two stars. That's halfway Superman (11/4) between three stars (well made) and one star (loathesome). Nic Metropolis [2010 Restoration] (11/16) Cage once again provides the zeal and energy to wade through a Red Beard (11/18) violent morass. William Fichtner makes The Accountant so intriguing Shoah (12/29) that, although all CPAs aren't from Hell, we know this one is. He has Santa Sangre (1/25) a nice twitchy reserve. Amber Heard and Billy Burke do everything Senso (2/22) that can possibly be done with their characters, and don't stop there. more great movies on dvd »
