  • Nicolas Cage: a decade in dreadful films

    As the stage is set for another bloody awful year of Nicolas Cage releasing eight thousand crappy films, we thought we’d take you on a whistle-stop tour back through his entire demented oeuvre since the Millennium. Not suitable for readers who are sensitive to unpleasant hairstyles.




  • Let Me In

    We know, we know.

Oh dear oh dear. And the title was so awesome.
