Adaptation Kristin Schrock   Theatre   Sunday, February 02, 2003 Remember, 'member when Nicolas Cage was an actor? Yeah, those were good times. This movie will make you weep for the Con Airs and the Rocks that he wasted himself on. Not as good as Being John Malkovich, but an entertaining and sometimes wrenching movie about writing a movie about writing a movie and so on. Its Meta-ness will sort of make your head spin. It has a strange third act that merits discussion, though.

Adaptation Ray Hunley   DVD   Tuesday, September 02, 2003 We open on Hunley logging on to Gadd's movie page... Nice performances from Nicolas Cage, Chris Cooper and Brian Cox, a couple good one-liners, and self-referential gimmickry, and that's about it. Try Mamet's "Things Change" or read some Hofstadter instead.

Adaptation Mike Gadd   dvd rental   Monday, October 06, 2003 I couldn't have enjoyed this movie any more. It picks up in the middle of the best scene from "Being John Malkovich" and continues with a nice mix of 'meta-ness' as Kristen puts it. Excellent camera work and too-lifelike car accidents. I tried explaining to a friend how the movie went and got lost in my story. Certainly not for everyone.
