This weekend, saw several films from the Brattle's repertory series "Nicholas Cage: Greatest American Actor", a double-feature of
Con Air and
Ghost Ride: Spirit of Vengeance and a showing of
Face/Off. All far more enjoyable than they should be. I enjoyed all three (though I'd only really recommend
Con Air, which is a rather brilliant send-up of its genre with an all-star cast).
In broader news, the latest economic trainwreck remains unexploded, but
bradhicks's take is
most interesting.
