Nicolas Cage Loses Himself in New Film, Joe
A new movie makes an unlikely hero out of a violent and reclusive man. Set in small-town Texas, Joe is about a hard-working, hard-living ex-con — played by irresistible bad boy Nicolas Cage — who’s trying to stay out of trouble. He finds that the best way to do that is to not get involved with people — until he meets a teenage boy, played by Tye Sheridan, in need of help. The movie is directed by David Gordon Green, who got his start with small films set in the tough, decaying American South. He transitioned to more Hollywood fare, like the stoner comedy Pineapple Express, but Joe feels like a return to his earlier roots. Green has crafted a quietly powerful film that allows Nicolas Cage to lose himself in this character — no small thing for an actor famous for big, theatrical performances.

Colin Firth Stars in The Railway Man
Based on his best-selling memoir, the film tells the extraordinary and epic true story of Eric Lomax (played by one of our favorite leading men Colin Firth), a British Army officer who is tormented as a prisoner of war at a Japanese labor camp during World War II. Decades later, Lomax discovers that the Japanese interpreter he holds responsible for much of his treatment is still alive and sets out to confront him, and his haunting past. This story has been told several times before, and this latest retelling, from a screenplay by Frank Cottrell Boyce and Andy Paterson, wrestles with themes of suffering and redemption as it criss-crosses between Colin Firth’s aging Lomax living a purgatorial existence in late 20th-century Britain, and Jeremy Irvine’s embattled young soldier suffering at the hands of his wartime captors. Nicole Kidman co-stars as Lomax’s wife and love interest. The movie opens nationally on April 25, but you can watch the trailer now.
