This week's movie from 2022 with my buddy Melissa was "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" and I was impressed! It evidently was a bomb at the box office, which is par for the course and almost a requirement for any film I like. This one starred Nicholas Cage playing himself in a surreal tale that works on several levels. It is an action/comedy/buddy flick and a very subtle parody of Hollywood pretention and fame. I really liked that you were never quite sure of when 'the movie within a movie' switched over. Nicholas Cage has certainly carved out a unique niche for himself in showbiz and this movie is a perfect vehicle for him. This film was surrounded by the Marvel Universe comic book movies that year and may have been a little too smart for the room to be a hit. This was the beginning of the great pandemic dumb down of American pop culture, not that it was too sharp to begin with.
