  Letter from an Unknown Woman 1948

  ★★★★½ Watched 13 Feb 2025

It's this music that makes our main character Lisa fall so tragically in love with genius pianist Stefan Brand.

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Aug 2014 2

  I don't get the hate. Maybe it's my utter adoration for the god that is Nicolas Cage, but this film is legitimately good. Dialogue that isn't too cheesy and a few good one liners, great visuals of the various types of landscape, a thin story but still enjoyable and an actually quality leading man in Ron Perlman for Cage to work with. The witch was also super qt. Fuck the haters this was great and Cage as usual delivers the goods.
