(Nathan M Rose) 2/25/2011 7:57 AM EDT The first I heard of Drive Angry, I was attending Comic Con 2010.

(Chris Rebholz) 2/22/2011 7:36 PM EDT A lot of TV shows employ a certain gimmick to ensnare audiences, shows like CSI, The Mentalist, Bones, and Breaking Bad are perfect examples. Using gimmicks like quirky characters, extreme situations, or just great writing all of them have done a great job of putting aside some disbelief in order to enjoy a good story. Breakout Kings, ...

(Chris Rebholz) 2/19/2011 10:41 AM EDT Michael Bay certainly knows how to make an action movie; his newest film I Am Number Four is a perfect example of large special effects and straight-forward acting.

It stars Channing Tatum as Marcus Aquila, a centurion from Rome.
