Pigmies



So, I saw Matchstick Men yesterday. Now, from what I’ve gathered so far, this is a film that is generally receiving a lukewarm reception. Perhaps I’m wrong in that statement, but at any rate, I just wanted to share with you the fact that I thought it was pretty nicely done. I really liked the way Nicholas Cage portrayed his character, and I especially liked how Ridley Scott visualized the individual’s neurotic behavior. Quite frankly, I thought it was a Nicholas Cage role and a Ridley Scott interpretation…his style of directing and Cage’s style of acting mingled well.

Go and see it, if only because the first 20 minutes of the film are a fantastic testament to their abilities.

I know, I know. It’s a weekend post! We haven’t had one of those in a while now, have we?
