Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "Drive Angry" in 3-D Rated R



Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "Drive Angry" in 3-D Rated R for Violence, Profanity, Profanity and Sexual Situations

Characters/Actors: John Milton (Nicolas Cage), Piper (Amber "The Pineapple Express" Heard), The Accountant (William "Prison Break" Fischter), Jonah King (Billy Burke), etc.

John Milton (Nicolas Cage) is a man who escapes from Hell to avenge the murder of his daughter and the abduction of his infant granddaughter by a messianic Manson-like cult leader who intends to sacrifice the child in order to bring "Hell on earth." An arguably fun Grindhouse picture with campy sex, violence and nudity. This film is not for everyone and is certainly not for kids. Movies like this are Nic Cage's forte ( "Con Air", etc.) along the way he catches a ride with a badass waitress (Amber Heard) who becomes like his sidekick. They end up killing a couple cops, and are soon pursued by cops, the murderous cult, and a guy known as "The Accountant", an emissary from Perdition (sort of like the Grim Reaper) who wants to bring Milton back to Hell where he probably belongs. There is a high body count and a lot of mayhem along the way. Nothing, not even Hell, is going to stop John Milton from getting his revenge and saving his granddaughter from the insane cult leader and his henchmen and women. Depending on your tolerance for violence and nudity, this movie may be worth seeing on either the large screen or eventually on home video or cable.

Movie News: AMC Theatres to end or amend their "Moviewatcher Card" Program

I recently got an e-mail that AMC Theatres will end their Moviewatcher Card program, in which a patron would get free movies or refreshments when presenting a Moviewatcher Card. When I recently attended a movie at an AMC Theatre (I used to work at the AMC theatre in Braintree, MA) I found out that the new program will cost $12 a year. The old program was free to join. I am not too thrilled with having to pay the $12, especially on an annual basis. I don't know if I will continue in the program, because I live at least eighteen miles away from the nearest AMC Theatre and I only attend movies at these theatres about 5 or so times a year.
