The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)

Superstar Nick Cage is approached by the CIA to help them capture Javi - cartel boss and his biggest fan.

'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent' is an action comedy in which Nicolas Cage parodies himself. The humor is present but not in the expected quantities, and the best part of the whole thing is the presence of Pedro Pascal who is adorable in the role of Javi

Director:  Tom Gormican   
With: Nicolas Cage, Pedro Pascal, Tiffany Haddish, Sharon Horgan, Sharon Horgan, Neil Patrick Harris, Lily Mo Sheen, Ike Barinholtz

Mom and Dad (2017)

A brother and a sister must defend themselves from their parents, after these are affected by a contagious affliction that causes just parents to attack their own children.

'Mom and Dad' is a horror comedy with an absurd plot that brings to the surface truths about human deeply buried feelings that can cause depression, quarrels, endless accusations and all sorts of family dramas, usually absorbed by a sort of mental balance composed of love, sense of duty, and the need to procreate. Nicolas Cage is in his element and it's a great pleasure to watch him go crazy and Selma Blair is not far behind him.

Director:  Brian Taylor    
With: Nicolas Cage, Selma Blair, Anne Winters, Zackary Arthur
