We cannot let sympathy or altruism shield us from finding the truths of this world. Pickman’s Model is one of two H.P. Lovecraft adaptations coming this season on Cabinet of Curiosities, with Dreams in the…

A year ago, Nicolas Cage starred in a small, buzzy movie called Pig.  When I wrote about it, I described his performance as somber and moving — an excellent Cage performance that put him back…

Despite the several stellar films we got last year, 2020 was still undoubtedly a tough year for movies. The film world still saw its fair share of turbulence in 2021, but it is fair to…

Few arguments seem more daunting in 2021 than taking the stance that Nicolas Cage is a good actor. Best known in 2021 as the man who stole the Declaration of Independence, or perhaps more unfortunately…

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since Knowing first appeared on the big screen. If you asked 15-year-old me what he thinks of this flick, he’d tell you that it’s an excellent…
