Looking Glass

ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER Nic Cage film. As much as we smirk at this actor’s superhuman output, in truth we actually can’t get enough. The movies just keep coming and, Mandy aside, even though the quality is middling at best, you know what you’re going to get: intense whispering, followed by shouting, followed by a stare into the distance.

When Ray and his wife Maggie’s (Robin Tunney) child passes away, they purchase a desert hotel where mysterious events occur.
