Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4308527, member: 1414"] [B]The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent[/B]. 2022. At the cinema. In many ways, this is an ode to Nicholas Cage movies, made by Nick Cage. But it's awesome, because he doesn't take himself seriously, so he's largely parodying himself. It's rather unique and it works. It's funny all throughout and both Nick and Pedro Pascal do a great job. The basic premise is that Cage is divorced, has a lot of expenses, and worries he's become known for making bad movies like Con Air. He struggles to connect with his 16 year old daughter (Lily Mo Sheen) and lives in a hotel, where he hasn't paid the bill in a year. Hi agent tells him some rich guy in Spain named Javi (Pedro Pascal) wants him to come out for a weekend and will pay $1M. He can use the cash, so he goes. Can't say too much more, but the CIA is involved, organized crime, and meanwhile Javi and Nick try to flesh out a screenplay for a movie. So it's a movie about an real actor, who gets caught up in things and is trying to make a movie screenplay, that then essentially becomes this movie. It's clever and it's a blast. The whole movie is chock full of Easter eggs and references to movies Nick Cage was in, minor replicated scenes (the drinking a beer in the pool scene in [I]Leaving Las Vegas[/I]). Even casting Lilly Sheen as the daughter of an actor, when that's what she is. There is an article on all of them at Screenrant, and I'll put it here with a spoiler tag.
