First Time Viewing:
Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010; Brandon Vietti) - Animated movie about Batman's encounter with a masked vigilante named Red Hood. Too muc time is wasted in the first half on rather generic action sequences before it eventually gets to the meat of the story. The animation is quite excellent and Bruce Greenwood and Jensen Ackles as Batman and Robin provide good voice acting, but The Joker and Black Mask are wasted. Thankfully the last act still delivers and makes this worth watching.
6.5/10
The Dying Of The Light (2014; Paul Schrader) - This got infamously hacked to death by the producers in the editing room leading to cast and director publicly protesting the release of this heavily compromised version. Despite Cage giving his best effort in the lead it's indeed a very poor film.
3.5/10
Repeat Viewing:
Bad Lieutnant: Port Of Call New Orleans (2009; Werner Herzog) - A weird movie, while the plot seems to build up to a tragedy, it unexpectedly ends on a more gentle, whimsical and melancholic note. Cage is clearly in his element here and delivers a typically unhinged performance.
7/10
