Please excuse my voice this week folks - I lost my voice a few days before and was still pretty rough during the recording! I've managed to edit out most of the coughing but there's still some in there so please bear with me!
Anyhoo, this week we take a good hard look at Nicolas Cage, as he has had three movies out recently and we've rounded them up to take a gander. First up is THE HUMANITY BUREAU, a curious sci-fi action film with some nice anti-Trump nuggets here and there. Second we have the "based on a true story" movie 211, in with about-to-retire cop Nic Cage finds himself stumbling onto a quartet of very violent bank robbers. Finally we have MOM AND DAD, in which Cage co-stars with Selma Blair as a parents who find themselves overcome with the need to murder their children. Can this film help me overcome my aversion to anything directed by Brian Taylor (Crank/Gamer)? Tune in to find out.
In addition we also have the usual sections - the DTV CHART, COMING SOON and WASHING UP.
