Ominous

Ominous Review - 3/25/11

Summary:
Ominous is about a troubled mother and father who are having relationship problems which directly affect the children. To get some much needed time away to repair some family issues. The family vacations to a newly rebuilt cabin in the woods which was the mothers child hood home. Through out the movie haunting images and paranormal attacks take place which have a direct link with the mothers forgotten past.

Review:
I personally have to give a hand out to the folks at Dark Water Productions who made this movie especially on such a small budget the film had its charms along with its own originality. I could only imagine what this small but mighty production company can achieve through better investors or a higher budget at least they have originality in story line which is especially a rarest of the gems of low budget films. As we all know most low-budget or micro budget films I should say have a lack of originality and usually showcase the originals of sex, drugs, and cheap scares. Ominous does not have any traces of that. If the folks at Dark Water keep this up they will definitely soars to higher places in the ever growing film industry. Indie film makers can learn alot from these folks. That acting on the other hand was sub-par to average. The freshest of actors in the movie was probably the work of
Sean Patrick Flaherty who played Gavin Callahan in the film who starred in other major roles such as (Daddy Day Camp, and The Grand.)

          All in all I give this film believe it or not a 8 out of Milton's 10.

Drive Angry 3D

Drive Angry Review - 3/3/11

How to begin. I have no idea.

Whether it was the horribly written cliche lines or the characters the did not match or have any true relevance to the films story arc. If there was one at all. The film could have been written by a ten year old with a crayon. The film was basically hot women and action. I am not going to lie it is still fun to go out and see a bad movie every once and awhile with your friends to get a laugh. If you want that this is the one too see. This movie should have been advertised as a comedy and they would had of hit there target market. I will give you examples of why this is. Through out the film Milton (played by Nicholas Cage) thinks he is Elvis or at least Nick Cage does. There are Multiple scenes where he stands there for seconds at a time staring at a distance with his arms out like a constipated monkey. It is probably one of the most funny things I have ever scene. Another example of it being more comedic that whatever genre Drive Angry is supposed to be. Is the aftermath of the sex/action scene. In this scene Nicholas cage is having sex with some woman who was basically just thrown in there. then dozens of cult members break into his hotel room and start shooting toward him he begins to kill them one by one while still having sex. After wards the woman he had sex with was in shock and covered in a blanket speaking with the police. She said quote on quote "We were Fucking! He killed them while we were fucking!!" After that line was muttered the entire audience, I mean the six people in the theater began to laugh. It was hilarious.

                If you want to see a good movie please don't go see this especially since it is a higher rate because of the 3D charge. I must not lie I like Nicholas Cage but not his last few movies. It makes me wonder what the hell happened to his carrer!!!! HE was a great actor and in great blockbuster movies. My hopes are that he begins to make better movie selections as an actor and get back into what he does best. True deep characters that make you feel for them. That is why I don't give up on him and see all of his movies.

All in all. I Give this movie 1 1/2 stars out of 5
