Nicolas Cage Double Feature: Adaptation/Red Rock West [DVD]

The DVDS has two movies, both starring Nicholas Cage. "Adaptation" also stars Meryl Streep and Chris Cooper. But they don't make the movie enjoyable. Cage plays twin brothers, mentally unbalanced. It's just not a fun movie, unless you like orchids. (I did learn useful things about growing orchids; I may even try it.). The other movie, Red Rock West, doesn't look like much from the label, but it actually has a good plot, and you really want to know what's gonna happen next! I recommend Red Rock West and, for the low price, it's worth buying.

I'm a fan of Cage and his earlier acting movies. This combo is a good set of movies for his fan following.

Even though Mr. Cage has struggled a bit recently with his film role choices, these two are part of his golden years. His duel roll in Adaptation is one for the ages but Red Rock West's gritty take on a mistaken hitman caper comes a great psychological thriller. Plus it's always fun to see Dennis Hopper when he's in a crazy character role.
