I have actually never seen this movie.

- DirectorSpike JonzeStarsNicolas CageMeryl StreepChris CooperA lovelorn screenwriter becomes desperate as he tries and fails to adapt 'The Orchid Thief' by Susan Orlean for the screen.There is something to be said about an actor successfully playing 2 different people in a movie. Good movie & outstanding performance.
- DirectorMichael BayStarsSean ConneryNicolas CageEd HarrisA mild-mannered chemist and an ex-con must lead the counterstrike when a rogue group of military men, led by a renegade general, threaten a nerve gas attack from Alcatraz against San Francisco.As long as you just watch the first act, this movie is pretty good. The movie gets borderline ridiculous after that. Insane but believable performance by Cage.
- DirectorMartha CoolidgeStarsNicolas CageDeborah ForemanElizabeth DailyJulie, a girl from the valley, meets Randy, a punk from the city. They are from different worlds and find love. Somehow they need to stay together in spite of her trendy, shallow friends.Like totally a movie I liked. I think I was required to watch it at some point because of my age.
