I Would Describe This Movie As… A generic Nicolas Cage movie dressed as a medieval epic, and quite possibly a joke on all of us.

See It If… You can’t pass up Nicolas Cage (and everyone else) attempting a half-assed British accent, want to watch something mind-numbingly silly with a bunch of drunk people, or it’s free.

Skip It If… You’re sane, hate Nicolas Cage, or can’t look past cavernous plot-holes.

Final Thought: Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman should be in a buddy-cop movie together, like Lethal Weapon…but not nearly as good.

Final Score: 5.2/10

Vampires, and Werewolves, and Witches, Oh My! ABC opens ‘The Gates’

ABC  jumps onto the vampire bandwagon with Sunday night’s premiere of ‘The Gates.’  After a public scandal, Nick Monohan (Frank Grillo,Prison Break)becomes the chief of police in a small,  seemingly picturesque community, called The Gates. The town’s reputation is sterling.  High-tech video surveillance and thick walls have ensured nothing unwanted can get in. Nick’s wife, Sarah (Marisol Nichols, 24), believes it to be the perfect place for her workaholic husband to relax and spend more time with her and their two children.  Little do they know, it’s not what’s outside The Gates they should fear.
