Overview
My thoughts	I have stated before that I am not too big on silent movies, with the exception of slapstick like Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Charlie Chaplin. So it was with som trepidation that I approached a classic like SunriseSunrise is excellent in many ways. It's a beautiful story. The cinematography is pioneering in many ways. And Janet Gaynor is good. But the acting style just ruins the mood for me. I know many people rank this film extremely highly, and I won't say that they are wrong. It's just not a film that works well for me.

Drive Angry, a review by dfmorgan

Drive Angry

Year: 2011
Director: Patrick Lussier
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Amber Heard
Overview: Get ready for one hell of a ride! Milton (Nicolas Cage) is a hardened - albeit dead - criminal who has broken out of Hell to stop a religious cult sacrificing his baby granddaughter. The police are in hot pursuit but they're the least of his worries - The Devil's none too pleased either and has sent the enigmatic emissary "The Accountant" (William Fichtner) to bring him back.

Aided by sassy waitress Piper (Amber Heard) and driving a series of smoking hot muscle-cars, Milton is Hell-bent on his mission and is breaking all the rules - but what are they gonna do, not let him back in?

A high school girl becomes a god. What sounds like a over-the-top comedy is more like a slow-paced comedic drama. It has a little "Spirited Away" feel to it. And I love the background drawings in this.
