- The Gutter MonkeyMarch 25, 2025A creative and unexpectedly exciting sorta-true story (?) about Charlie Kaufman's struggle to write this script.
- RyezooFebruary 20, 2025Probably the best Nick Cage film I've ever seen. Also one of the only movies that I actually liked Merylle Streep in. Great story and the third act is crazy! Chris Cooper was also phenomenal in this
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 13, 2025Interesting if not always enjoyable. Oddly the exciting bits are the most boring but I think that's the point. Oh, and what's worse than one Nicolas Cage....? 😁
