I saw two movies over over the weekend that are worth noting if you ever feel the need to watch something without taxing your brain.

The first was Drive Angry http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1502404/ with Nicholas Cage. This was an enjoyable movie about our anti hero John Milton who escapes from Hell to try and save his grand daughter. I actually loved this movie. My wife started watching it with me but within 5 minutes there were 3 dead bodies, an explosion and enough profanity to last a life time.

Piper (Amber Heard) is the eye candy who attaches herself to Mr Cages character and their story on how they get to save the girl (lets face it the ending wasnt going to be anything else but save the girl - er baby!!!) is entertaining. My favourite character is the accountant (the devils main man ) who is on a mission to get Cages character back to hell. And the baddy is suitably bad and evil.

Great movie...greatest scene has to be the shootout in the motel room when Milton is still mating the waitress from the bar..Awesome.

My rating has to be a rollicking 9 out of 10.

The second was Priest http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0822847/ a vampire movie set in a bleak world run by the church. According to the movie prologue the church trained warrior priests in the war against vampires. In victory all the remaining vampires were put into reservations and the warrior priests themselves faded into obscurity. This is the story about the wakening of the vampire hoards, the kidnapping of a young girl and a warrior priests determination to recover her, come what may.

The vampires are different (more animal than human) and for that alone I give this movie some credit. Nice to be different .. Also the priest Paul Bettany comes across well as the warrior priest. The story on how he saves the girl, while obstructing the will of the Church is as you would expect it to be and his skills in fighting , as the movie progresses, is impressive (even if some of what he can do is unbelievable) But hey what do you expect from a vampire movie...reality..I think not.

Rating 7/10 and I would have given it more than IMDB.s 3 star.
