The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent | Average Guy Movie Review

A down on his luck Nick Cage (Nicolas Cage as a parody version of himself) is offered $1 million to attend the birthday party of one of his super fans, Javi Gutierrez (Pedro Pascal). But is Javi all that he seems? Is he simply a successful businessman, who also happens to be a Nick Cage super fan, or is he the head of an international crime syndicate responsible for the kidnap of a local politician's daughter? That's what CIA agents Vivian (Tiffany Haddish) and Martin (Ike Barinholtz) want Nick to find out... hopefully before he gets himself and his family killed. Did you ever wonder what was Nicolas Cage's craziest role? Could it be the guy who escaped from hell in a muscle car, or the FBI agent wearing someone else's face? Maybe it's the construction worker who travelled to Pakistan on a supposedly divine mission to find Osama bin Laden, or the magician with the ability to see into the future (I never said it had to be a role in a good movie). No matter what, I

The Matrix Resurrections | Moustache Trailer Reaction

It seems that resurrection is upon us, for this December we will be ushered down the rabbit hole once again. Check out the trailer for The Matrix Resurrections  below. When I first heard that Lana Wachowski was working on some sort of follow up to The Matrix  trilogy, I have to admit I was sceptical at best. The first movie was a cinematic milestone, it broke new ground, inspired a wave of new sci-fi and fantasy movies, and ushered Hollywood into the 21st century. On the other hand, the sequels weren't nearly as impressive. Sure there was hype, and a lot of impressive visuals, fights and stunts. But that hype soon gave way to "meh". So the idea of revisiting that world wasn't all that attractive. That is... until now. There is something very familiar about the imagery in this trailer, there are a lot of callbacks to events from the previous instalments, and yet we seem to be looking at a whole new Matrix. Everything is a lot brighter, gone is the grungy look, and for

A Million Ways To Die In The West | Average Guy Movie Review | Movierob's Genre Grandeur

For Movierob 's Genre Grandeur on Western Crossovers, I am looking at Seth MacFarlane's guide to surviving the old west for all those who aren't Clint Eastwood, A Million Ways To Die In The West. It follows Albert Stark (MacFarlane), a sheep herder on the frontier who seems to be the only person that sees the west for what it is; a dangerous, disease infested, unforgiving shit hole. "Hell, this was Miss America in 1880... ..."Holy Shit!"  After his girlfriend dumps him, Albert prepares to leave his hometown of Old Stump for San Francisco. But his plans are interrupted by the arrival of Anna (Charlize Theron), who shows him how to enjoy life. Unfortunately for Albert, Anna is married to Clinch Leatherwood (Liam Neeson), one of the most dangerous outlaws in the territory and he's none too happy about Albert spending time with his wife! The story for A Million Ways To Die In The West began as a joke between MacFarlane, Alec Sulkin and Welles
