Written by Bruce Wagner (ofWild Palmsfame) its described as a drama, thriller and satire. The 1999 filmeXistenZwas something of a throwback in the midst of all this. Few directors have probed the same questions and subject matters with as much variety or intelligence as David Cronenberg. you might assemble yourself in a different way if you really want to. Because while Cronenbergs films are thematically similar, theyre also eminently unpredictable....

Here’s Mark’s pick of the most underrated… Surprisingly, it was DreamWorks Animation who really captured the best Cage performance of the year. More than that, its not purely the Ridic-olas Cage that launched a thousand memes and YouTube montages. This guy seemed curiously gentle and introverted in a way, even though he was a DJ.
