Movie of the week: "The Weather Man"
My nephew Samuel was kind enough to lend me this movie, which was one of the best films I've seen lately. Nicolas Cage plays a TV weather man who is trying to live meaningfully in a "fast food world." As major studios go this is a rare character-driven film, so expect no car chases or explosions. I think Cage is at his best when he plays these "real" type characters, family men living lives of quiet or not so quiet desperation. Highly recommended.
