Here is the two newest movies I've seen today, Drive Angry and Battle: Los Angeles.
Drive Angry was a unique story line, and filled with great actors. If your into the old 70's style of film, or just a Nicholas cage fan you'll love this film. However, the 70's film style does make it cheesy at times-especially when it comes to the action scenes. It was also odd watching Billy Burke (Charlie Swan-Twilight Saga and Cesaire-Red Riding Hood) playing the role of the satanic leader. It was also unusual having the lead be a bad ass damsel in distress-it worked, but it was unusual. 
Battle: Los Angeles presented a new take on hostile alien take over. Instead of the overused perspective of a group of people, it's shown through a group of marine soldiers who are fighting to save their water resources. Los Angeles is the last remaining human shore that is being taken over. The acting is phenomenally done, and you feel greatly for the characters. It was done so that it appeared believable. The effects were well done and kept minimal. I also find it enjoyable to see Michelle Rodriguez playing her usual role as the bad ass fighter. It was also nice to see Aaron Eckhart playing a character so different from Harvey Dent. This is a must see for action movie goers.
