NICOLAS CAGE IS BACK! Boy, he should play the villain more often. He was amazing as the baddie in 1995's Kiss of Death. I'm sad it took more than a decade to see him in a similar, albeit crazier, role here.
The Babysitter, Happy Death Day and Get Out were branded as last year's best horror comedies. This one is a strong contender for the 2018 title.
The Rating: 4 out of 4.
P.S. This is Cage's first awesome movie since 2013's Joe. Also, Mom & Dad will make you think before having children.

It's like the comic version of Training Day. Although, the jokes are repetitive and the scenes are sometimes too cliched, Get Hard (2015) is a great comedy.
Will Ferrell's consistency in his mild-mannered persona and Kevin Hart's persistent attitude is what drives this feature. So, have a watch if you want your explicit sense of humor to Get Hard, pun intended.

For a film having a stellar cast including Nicolas Cage and Russell Brand and directed by The Dictator director Larry Charles and featuring a story based on the real-life event of an American citizen traveling to Pakistan to capture Osama Bin Laden, Army of One (2016) is far from picture perfect.
The acting is great, the direction and costume design are both laudible, but the script by Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman falls flat and starts to get interesting only when Nic Cage's Gary Faulkner reaches Pakistan, but by then 60% of the film has passed and 80% of viewers would have quit watching before then - the first half is just that tedious.
The saving grace of the movie is of course Nicolas Cage who portrays Faulkner to the letter (just watch the real-life footage shown during the credits). Russell Brand and the rest of the cast also do a splendid job. But when the screenplay reeks of ennui then Cage, Brand and Charles are simply not enough to save this critique of religion, patriotism and politics.
Maybe if Charles had a better writing team comprised of at least Sacha Baron Cohen then this flick wouldn't have been such a drag. Heck, even reading a 300 word article on the actual "life is stranger than fiction" event would've been more entertaining. And would have saved my 92 minutes.
P.S. To the makers of this movie: The official language of Pakistan is Urdu not Arabic. 😂😂

The Runner (2015) isn't at all original, but it still manages to be an achievement within its genre.
Nicolas Cage stars at the titular character congressman Colin Pryce, whose governmental career goes downhill, after he's caught in a sex scandal.
Cage's last thriller Dying of the Light (2014) was utterly bad. The only good factor about it was his acting. But this time Cage's powerhouse performance is matched by an equally well-crafted film. The supporting cast is great as well.
The Runner also succeeds where other political dramas don't. And that is by establishing an equilibrium between politics and theatrics. This is more of a humane venture. We go through what the individuals do. There are issues of capitalism and humanitarianism. Also, these are discussed through a finely written script.
What the movie lacked was unpredictability. It is just too repetitive. This is especially in accordance to the final half-hour. At 90 minutes, the duration is durable, but some events you can see coming from minutes away. Another negative was how at some points it became just too slow to watch.
Still, Cage is fit for the role. He exhibits true finesse as an American politician. This is his best enactment since 2013's Joe. A feature that was sadly overlooked by the Academy in the following year.
Overall, The Runner is moderately written, brilliantly directed and exceptionally acted. It kind of reminds you of House of Cards, in a way, if it were adapted into a low-budget flick.
The Rating: 2.5 out of 4.

Saddest Poem by Pablo Neruda:
I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
Write, for instance: "The night is full of stars,
and the stars, blue, shiver in the distance."
The night wind whirls in the sky and sings.
I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
On nights like this, I held her in my arms.
I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky.
She loved me, sometimes I loved her.
How could I not have loved her large, still eyes?
I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
To think I don't have her. To feel that I've lost her.
To hear the immense night, more immense without her.
And the poem falls to the soul as dew to grass.
What does it matter that my love couldn't keep her.
The night is full of stars and she is not with me.
That's all. Far away, someone sings. Far away.
My soul is lost without her.
As if to bring her near, my eyes search for her.
My heart searches for her and she is not with me.
The same night that whitens the same trees.
We, we who were, we are the same no longer.
I no longer love her, true, but how much I loved her.
My voice searched the wind to touch her ear.
Someone else's. She will be someone else's. As she once
belonged to my kisses.
Her voice, her light body. Her infinite eyes.
I no longer love her, true, but perhaps I love her.
Love is so short and oblivion so long.
Because on nights like this I held her in my arms,
my soul is lost without her.
Although this may be the last pain she causes me,
and this may be the last poem I write for her.
