On a scale of 1 to “Holy crap, hide your bunnies and get the straight jacket!”, Nicolas Cage is certainly right up there. The actor’s dementia has been pretty well documented. But looking at an interview that he recently gave Empire Online about his upcoming Ghost Rider sequel, it’s quite clear that he has finally lost whatever scraps of sanity he …
While not actually a movie I can’t help but get excited by the return of Game of Thrones and to help ramp up the excitement levels the teaser trailer for season 2 has been released.

Remember Ferris Buellers’ day off? It’s a classic film from the eighties featuring a young Matthew Broderick as he engages in maximum truancy, while being pursued by a relentless school principal. Now, it appears that the master of hooky has returned. For about ten seconds. In a short clip for an advert. Bear with me here, because of Broderick is …
Two of my favourite, and under-utilised actors are back on the scene, as negotiations are under-way for the two to appear in a drama film about complicated relationships, under the name of The Writers.
