Drive Angry - Cage Wisdom review

After a month-long hibernation in which I got a job and Anna changed her name to Jay, Cage Wisdom bursts boldly forth like Christian soliders marching as to war:

Lol, thats usually my line to you too poor Sprocket after i 've read one of your ultra reviews, but this time I am actually going to have to control myself not read it yet, as i have not yet had the Drive angry pleaeure itself! your reviews are always very powerful for me so i would prefer it to be apres rather than pre ski!!! bouncy

haha yes Lula, only return to the chalet with your feet up by the fire after the slopes have been ventured, for a contemplative evening of sherry drinking and bon mots... appropriate, since most of my bon mots make considerably more sense when seen from the bottom of a sherry glass, soused and pleasantly 'on a bun'!

As for whether I enjoyed it - I do rather keep that under wraps, as I always enjoy Nic, though am a picky blighter when it comes to films themselves! I did enjoy Drive Angry though, much as I enjoyed My Bloody Valentine 3D. Both made me feel a little grubby, but I can't think of a comparable cinematic experience off the top of my head! :D

Haha, are you afraid the castle wenches will lock you in the stocks, Sprocket, if you answer! lol! It is rather grubby, I know what you mean, I think. Tell you the truth, although I really enjoyed it, I doubt I would ever have seen it if Nic was not in it. Not my usualy type of movie.

wow..that was, as usual, an intense experience Mr Sprocket...one i will have to repeat again, and again to fully grasp it all! and in case i haven't i said it loudly enough yet ...man you can WRITE ! When this somes to your reviews i feel it works for and against you..against because I get so high on the language itself i don't care about the meaning! which brings me to this bit

Milton is not a character, but Drive Angry is not a film that requires characters. He is a blueprint of masculinity comprised of a series of taut and manly gestures. He exists to do, provoke and facilitate action.

At first i felt my afronted Nic fandom rear up with a "hang on Mr!" but i am not sure you are meaning what i think you mean, if you know what i mean. but this thought arose for me reading your above paragraph...Nic created an essence with Milton, something enigmatic and ambiguous, an energy, which i experienced as quite intense, and which i really like because it is not all given to us on a plate, so for me the experience of Milton was on a feeling level not a dialogue or character story level. it provided this bass note this undercurrent to the layers on top whihc included humour. so in that sense perhaps i can agree with you.......but there is, in my opinion more going on than something that formulaic! yellowflowergrin


thank you for sharing! flowerface

The character of Milton was certainly masculine in every stereotypical way, and the story was basically formula driven, but I do not see Nic's interpretation of the role as simplistic as that, he brought his uniqueness to it. My take: a stoic with dead eyes at first,  but feeling reawakened as he interacted with Piper and Webster.

He's a ghostie ghost and a hell pirate. the otherness of him makes him more slippery to grasp I feel.flame.gif
