    i saw the best cage movie Ever yesterday.

    the cliche horror slashedy willy’s wonderland.

    i cant emphasize how great this movie is at its attempt at… what it is… but nick cage doesnt utter a single word the whole fucking movie. its brilliant.

      I’ve been on a Nicholas Cage thing lately. I never really watched movies growing up so now I’m working my way through the 90s. I feel like Abed from Community, I can’t decide if he’s genius or insane, but he’s quickly become a favorite of mine.

      Anyway, I saw your comment, was in the mood for a movie so I found it and went in completely blind.

      Ho… Lee… S***

      To anyone reading this, it’s free a lot of places, GO IN BLIND!

      I won’t spoil a thing but that was an incredibly fun and wild ride! Thanks for the suggestion OP!

        I was familiar with him in the 90s because of Con Air and Face/Off but my film appreciation class really made me fall for him with Raising Arizona. Like Johnny Depp in Ed Wood, it’s “off-brand” for Cage, but he does a brilliant job.

      I had that film recommended highly to me, but I found it to be a pretty poorly executed copy of Five Night’s at Freddie’s that even Cage couldn’t save it for me.

        Well, it came out 2 years earlier than the FNAF movie and had a quarter of the budget, so it’s not really fair to call it a copy.

        Mandy was fuckin brilliant! He was also in a decent adaptation of Lovecraft’s Color Out of Space. Pig was also phenomenal, but not a horror story like the others.
