Welcome to Super Serious Filmfest, our theme series of movie reviews.

This season covers the best and the worst of Nick Cage, the summer and winter of his career.

And what we're calling, Season of the cage. The Weatherman, a 2005 film directed by Gore Vorbinsky stars Nick Cage as David Spritz, a Chicago area weatherman living

under the shadow of his Pulitzer Prize winning father a stereotypical great man

played by Michael Kane. Professionally he's doing quite well as he entertains a national offer from Bryant Gumble.

That's right, the Bryant Gumble, played by, and you may find a shocking, Brian Gumble.

But personally, his life is a wreck,

as family trouble, health scares,

and a constant stream of thrown fast food

batter him, both physically and mentally.

Throughout the film, Dave will make several attempts to find his center,

relationship counseling, attempting to be a bigger part of his children's lives,

sorting things out and getting it together to win his father's approval.

And what all else fails, Archery.

This movie is about a man's struggle to come to and what else fails, Archery.

This movie is about a man's struggle to come to grips with the fact that sometimes things don't go the way you might have planned,

that no one is the master of their fate, and that life can be about more than just sucking and jerking and

fucking up.

Jim I thought this was a pretty great movie

had a lot of interesting themes that personally resonated with me.

What do you think?

Yeah I agree with that I actually think it's a very very well constructed film
