This review contains plot details from the first three episodes of “All’s Fair,” which are now available on Hulu. Creators: Jon Robin Baitz, Joe Baken, Ryan Murphy Stars: Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash The fact that a legal drama supposedly about female empowerment begins with a pilot episode written and directed by men probably tells you everything you need to know about “All’s Fair.” In fact, of the three episodes currently available on Hulu to commemorate the series premiere, only one features a significant creative credit from a woman, and it’s shared between executive producer Jamie Pachino and co-creator Ryan Murphy, who collaborated on the script for Episode 2. But this is a review, so I’m obligated to elaborate: “All’s Fair” is a clumsy, condescending take on superficial, triumphalist feminism, undercooked even by the standards of the overworked Murphy, who co-created the series with Joe Baken and Jon Robin Baitz. Admittedly, the tone is intentionally campy, and i...

Nicolas Cage has carved out an eccentric niche for himself in independent cinema over the last decade, taking on roles ranging from psychedelic metal revenge tales to quirky meta-comedies portraying none other than himself.
Once ridiculed for his apparent lack of discernment in selecting roles, recent reflections on his eclectic 2010s portfolio have changed perceptions. Many today consider his fearless commitment to smaller projects commendable. With Cage, even the most modest premises and budgets can be transformed into cinematic gems, provided he is given enough screen time to unleash his trademark intensity.
Director: Benjamin Brewer
Writer: Michael Nilon
Stars: Nicolas Cage, Jaeden Martell, Maxwell Jenkins
However, while there is some truth to this characterization, it overlooks an equally significant aspect of Cage's involvement in independent genre films. Beyond his penchant for on-screen theatrics, Cage demonstrates his willingness to deliver restrained performances when the script demands it.
He's the kind of star who can greenlight an unconventional script at the right price, instantly captivating midnight movie enthusiasts. Some of his most notable contributions to the genre came when he lent his talents to unconventional projects without seeking the spotlight.
“Arcadian” exemplifies this understated facet of Cage’s career. Despite drawing crowds eager to witness Cage in a post-apocalyptic horror setting at its SXSW premiere, his performance won't generate viral “Cage moments.” Instead, he delivers a subdued but impactful performance as a father struggling to safeguard his two children in the midst of a world overrun by monsters.
Directed by Ben Brewer, who previously collaborated with Cage on “The Trust,” “Arcadian” straddles the line between contemporary horror and '80s Spielberg-style blockbusters. It deftly blends smart jump scares with sentimental moments, creating moving narrative about the sacrifices worth making in life. It's a testament to Cage's versatility beyond his most outlandish roles.
Set in a world devastated to the point where the cause of humanity's fall is lost to memory, the film follows Paul (Cage) as he protects his twin teenage sons, Joseph and Thomas, from the horrors occurring outside. from his farm. The family lives in perpetual fear of the nameless nocturnal monsters that besiege their home every night. Paul tirelessly reinforces his defenses, but his children, like typical teenagers, chafe against restrictions and long for freedom.
When Thomas doesn't come home one night after having an affair, Paul's fears go from hypothetical to real. As he ventures to rescue his son, the three men face dangerous situations. With Thomas defending their home alone and Paul navigating the treacherous forests, they must rely on the help of their neighbors in a world consumed by self-preservation.
“Arcadian” seamlessly oscillates between horror and tenderness, evolving from a simple survival story to a nuanced exploration of safety, sacrifice and the inevitability of facing danger. While the monstrous creatures provide chilling thrills, the film's real fear lies in its depiction of parental vulnerability. It is a reminder that, regardless of our efforts, we cannot protect our loved ones from the dangers of the world indefinitely.
