Watch: Trailer For ‘Drive Angry 3D’ Promises Plenty Of Cage And Car-nage

Nicolas Cage, you’re the only one that can make this work.

A thirty second trailer for “Drive Angry 3D” surfaced online in the midst of its platform at the San Diego Comic Con. The plot concerns a man pried from the clutches of Hell to find the gang that murdered his daughter and kidnapped her infant child for supernatural purposes. You can go a couple of ways with that, but director Patrick Lussier’s direction appears to be “posturing, explosions, camp.” Which seems perfectly suited for Cage, really.

Best Of The Decade: The Playlist’s Best Films Of 2003

Here’s our 2000, 2001 and 2002 picks. Now on to 2003…

If sequels were the name of the game in 2002, things didn’t change much in ’03, as franchises began to curdle over with disappointing new installments like “The Matrix Reloaded,” “The Matrix Revolutions,” and “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” proving to many that the allure and mystique of a series could easily be destroyed with unnecessary installments. Other warmed-over chum-like sequel continuations in that vein were “2 Fast 2 Furious,” “Freddy vs.

Further Proof That Perry Farrell Has Lost The Plot: Former Jane’s Addiction Rocker Gets In Bed With ‘Twilight’

Everyone with even half a brain knows that Perry Farrell has devolved into a laughing stock over this last decade. First there was the Jane’s Addiction reunion (see the horrible theme song to “Entourage,” which is total L.A. douche-rock), then there was Satellite Party, a garish melange of unintentionally hilarious album covers and painful stadium rock lighter-anthems and now to add to the list of excruciating missteps is Farrell’s connection to the tweener-goth nonsense of “Twilight.”

According to Vulture, the lost-in-the-woods singer is writing a crucial song for the movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s emo-dramatic vampire saga, and what’s worse, he’s actually proud of it.

More news on that Eric Green shoegaze documentary “Beautiful Noise” – apparently it’s being scored by Brad Laner, formerly of Medicine. If you’re scratching your head and saying, “Medicine?” then let’s have a short history lesson.

Medicine were, essentially, L.A.’s response to the British shoegaze movement. In fact, because of their city of origin, some people don’t even consider them to be a shoegaze band.
