Nicolas Cage in PIG
Nicolas Cage and a pig…what more do you want?
Nicolas Cage ‘losing it’ big time over his missing pig? Yep.
A whole load of ‘all that is good is ruined by greed and the masses’.Yep…and ‘pay back’ time. Yep Yep Yep.
I’ve always been a big fan of Nicolas Cage – especially when he gets into odd-ball territory where we can really see his acting chops (Leaving Las Vegas, Birdy, Wild at Heart). There is still no one like him.
Dune
Directors who can do no wrong and have the power to make magic – Denis Villeneuve and Christopher Nolan.
The first Denis Villeneuve film I watched was Incendies. Incredible. At one point in the film it throws you out of a 5th floor window followed by a a ton of bricks and leaves you with a panic attack. Then he made Prisoners, then Enemy, then Sicario, then Arrival, then Blade Runner – probably the best sequel ever? What more can I say. I’m not really interested in ‘Dune’ but I’ll see it because of him.
The Goat
Sometimes you come across a film where you just keep saying ‘WT-A-F’ while watching the trailer.
The Lamb is that film, from A24, filmed in Iceland.
I’m not sure if it’s a comedy or a horror. I know goats can be kind’a spooky but I never thought about a lamb in that way.
You’ve got to watch it.
The Green Knight
Another A24 film and directed by David Lowery.
As an intro go and watch A Ghost Story (2017) also directed by Lowery.
A Green Knight stars Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander and Sean Harris amongst others and is a ‘re-telling of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight’.
Dev Patel should have had a few Oscars under his belt by now and just keeps getting better.
Put all these ingredients together and, just by the look of the trailer, you’re in for an amazing deep cinema experience.
