by Craig Woollaston on February 14, 2014

Nicolas Cage returns to his indie roots in this adaptation of Larry Brown’s novel.  Directed by David Gordon Green, Cage plays the hard-living, hot-tempered, ex-con Joe Ransom, a man trying to find the road to redemption, until that is he meets a 15-year-old boy (Tye Sheridan , ‘MUD’) who awakens in him a fierce and tender-hearted protector.

Check out the latest trailer and look our for Taylor Sinople’s early review of this movie.

About the Author
Craig Woollaston
Craig Woollaston
Craig is 36, male, married, a father of three and currently teetering on the edge of madness. When not wondering what it would be like to fake his own demise and spend the rest of his days fishing off the coast of Chile, he dedicates much of his time to the love of blue cheese (he is member of the Roquefort Appreciation Society Warwickshire Branch) and space travel (he is yet to travel in space). Craig is state-educated with no discernible talent for anything other than failing to finish books and downloading newly released movies that he hasn’t paid for (allegedly). He also cooks a mean chilli-con-carne. With qualifications like that, his position as staff writer here at Room101-102 was never in doubt.

Review: Prince Avalanche

by Taylor Sinople on August 14, 2013
The quiet, pensive, and occasionally funny “Prince Avalanche” marks David Gordon Green’s return to dramatic material after a stint of broad comedies of varying success (the pretty good “Pineapple Express” and the deplorable “Your Highness”). It’s the story of two road workers and their summer spent painting yellow lane lines and pounding in reflector posts […]
