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.

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.
