This is the best acting I've seen from Nicolas Cage in a long while. He was truly funny and captured the zany (and true) nature of Gery Faulkner perfectly. I adore Russell Brand and he was great as ever in this. However, the script was a bit spotty with enough holes to drive a dump truck through. With a touch more cohesion this would have been a four-star film, but it was good nonetheless. 3.5/5

The Rocker
This indie comedy was funny but awfully predictable. But hey, I did like Will Arnett, so there's something. 3/5

Hesher
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is absolutely note-perfect in this darkly funny yet poetically tragic dramedy. I adored this - sheer brilliance. 5/5

Super
This film just got darker & more subversive the longer it went on - it was a gutsy call & the right one. Really great. 4/5

A pretty damn funny film with a pretty damn amazing cast. I wish it had been longer & developed more though. 3.5/5
