Song review to Valerie by Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse
Well sometimes Judge wants to fuck
But his dick's limper, than it 'aught 'er
Cage rock's in as a hairy thing, and says to Judge
Hey man, shall I paint your picture?
But since Cage has been at home
Well Zandalee has been a mess
She's being fucked really hard
And she is very rarely dressed
Cage says, roll on over
I perform anal expertly
Why don't you roll on over Zandalee?

Craig did we have to watch this film?
The good points add up to nil, did they even have a scriptwriter?
The dialogue was…
"When I go into my kitchen and make toast, I smell your skin"
With such an interesting premise as "Moustached Judge Reinhold's wife is having an affair with a crazy and rapey Nicolas Cage", it's such a disappointment when the film is a piece of shit devoid of much entertainment.
Terrible scriptwriting, awful acting and a vomit inducing soundtrack of mostly fiddle and accordion folk music, it's a complete disappointment from the one scene I've got etched into my brain of Cage screaming rubbing himself with paint.
I really hated this. It was completely boring.
For anyone wondering where this falls in the Cage Canon, it's the clip in the Cage Losing His Shit vid where he covers himself in black paint.
A commitment to Tennessee Williams-esque absurdity, aggressive sex, and intermittent Cajun accents barely tether Zandalee to reality. A mustachio'd Judge Reinhold has given up a writing career, and with it any chance of giving good sex to his wife -- because writers make the best lovers. Good thing former childhood pal and current artist Nic Cage comes in to fill the void. While it's impossible to get past Reinhold's strained attempts at trying to act hard, Cage imposes a palpable sexual danger into the central love triangle. Only he could treat 9 1/2…
Nic-vember Challenge: 1990s, One-Word Title, Romance, Long Hair
Judge Reinhold and Nicolas Cage are old high school buds who meet up again, but like, they’re not the same characters from Fast Times? Not interested! J/k, I am very interested in Nic’s bad facial hair and sporadically brilliant performance and Reinhold’s sporadically crazed performance and all the graphic erotica, but this was still kind of a bad movie.

The early 90s saw a serious increase in the amount of seriously sexy melodramas that flooded the market, but unfortunately, precious few of them were actually sexy despite copious amounts of nudity and faux lovemaking. "Zandalee" earns a bit of distinction because it stars two of the brightest actors to come out of the previous decade, clearly slumming through this mediocre tale of love and betrayal that takes itself far too seriously.
The story here is as standard as they come, with a bored housewife having an affair with an odd friend of her husband, and it never builds to anything that makes watching it worthwhile. The casting makes things a little more interesting, as Nicolas Cage gives one of…
Unfortunately, I was not able to find myself a good Nicolas Cage performance to enjoy on his birthday. Fortunately, a bad Nicolas Cage performance is still usually worth watching. The guy's something else. In his defense, it's not like he has good writing to work in Zandalee. There is part of me, however, that suspects Cage had a lot to do with some of his lines, like they're the products of some drug-fueled improvisation. Check out some of these lines:
"Without creativity, without life, then you are truly unable to go straight up the devil's ass, look him right in the face, smile, and survive." Yeah, go ahead and read that again. It won't make any more sense a second…
