Blu-Ray Review: Gory, Gratuitous ‘Drive Angry’ Delivers What it Promises
Submitted by BrianTT on June 2, 2011 - 9:09pmCHICAGO – One goes into a 3D film called “Drive Angry” with Nicolas Cage with different expectations.

Submitted by BrianTT on March 22, 2011 - 9:35amCHICAGO – What could “Last Tango in Paris,” “Moonstruck,” and “Rain Man” possibly have in common? Two won major oscars and the third should have? All three feature some of the career-best work by iconic actors? Honestly, all that they have in common is that they weren’t out on Blu-ray before and every catalog title needs a release date eventually and so MGM chose February 15th for the trio. Pick up all three.

Submitted by mattmovieman on December 2, 2010 - 9:43amCHICAGO – On a good day, Nicolas Cage can be one of the most exciting and enjoyable actors in the business.
