Despite what The Beatles sang, not everybody wakes up, gets out of bed and drags combs across their heads. Some people, like Adrien Brody in the newly released "Wrecked," wake up in the aftermath of a horrific car crash and drag their bodies across forests in a feeble attempt to survive. You know, apples and oranges.

Brody stars in "Wrecked," released in New York City theaters and Video On Demand today (April 1) and landing in Los Angeles next Friday (April 8), as a man who wakes up in a wrecked car with a wrecked body and a wrecked memory. With no idea of who he is or how he got there, this nameless man faces slow-impending doom unless he can drag himself out of the woods and back to civilization—not an easy feat, to say the least.

We caught a screening of "Wrecked" earlier this week and really enjoyed a lot of what we saw. Find out what we liked after the jump!

If you're a fan of Nicolas Cage's crazy antics, jaw-dropping violence, fast cars and other assorted forms of purely visceral entertainment, then you have to see "Drive Angry."

Cage stars in Patrick Lussier's hell-driven 3-D revenge flick as John Milton, a bleached-blonde badass with nothing but a focused goal and a bag of guns to his name. Milton is searching for Jonah King (Billy Burke), a dangerous Satan worshipper who murdered his daughter and kidnapped her baby with the intention of sacrificing her to the forces of Hell. Milton's relentless vengeance quest is assisted by the beautiful and tough-as-nails Piper (Amber Heard) and hindered by The Accountant (William Fichtner), one of the devil's closest advisors.

For adrenaline junkies and Cage enthusiasts, "Drive Angry" is a must-see. Period, end of discussion, no excuses. But if you need further convincing, click past the jump for five reasons you need to see this film.

Natalie Portman in Black SwanThere's been so much talk about the Natalie Portman-Mila Kunis sex scene in "Black Swan" -- yes, we know we're as guilty as anybody of stoking that fire -- we feel morally obligated to remind moviegoers that there is much, much more to this movie than two beautiful women seeing to each others between-the-sheets needs.

The unsettling psychological thriller is earning a boatload of Oscar buzz for Portman, Kunis and director Darren Aronofsky, and is already racking up best of 2010 accolades from the likes of the Gotham Independent Film Awards and the Indie Spirit Awards. Portman is being hailed as a front runner for the Best Actress Oscar for her fearless turn as Nina, an uptight ballerina whose obsession with dancing the lead in "Swan Lake" leads her to explore the dark side she didn't know she had. Kunis is said to be in the Best Supporting Actress mix for her performance as Nina's fierce on-stage rival (and, yes, even fiercer off-stage lover) Lily. And Aronofksy is getting the kind of Best Director Oscar talk he should have gotten for "The Wrestler."
