Nic Cage’s mulleted, hot house, melodramatic 9 1/2 WEEKS, where his tortured, wandering artist cuckolds a Cajun Judge Reinhold (oh marone, these accents!) via an increasingly lurid series of erotic encounters (cocaine and olive oil make for great lube, it seems). Tennessee Williams wept. I applauded. Special shout outs to Marisa Tomei’s cameo as a hopeless floozy, Steve Buscemi as the world’s most lecherous garbage man, and Joe Pantoliano as a cross dressing French Quarter shopkeeper.

"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.

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.

Nicolas Cage, teach me your ways

Anyone from Louisiana can assure you that this movie rules.

“You wanna share my peach?”

The strong supporting cast (Marisa Tomei, Joe Pantoliano, Steve Buscemi just for starters), paint-covered Nicolas Cage freak-out, and notable New Orleans locations make Zandalee interesting, but not enough to overcome the listless, Cinemax softcore plot. Even if it’s good softcore! Erika Anderson’s clothes came off a little too easily at times but her movements were more relaxed and natural than they could have been.

This is likely the movie that inspired Cage to build his pyramid tomb in St. Louis Cemetery #1—probably the one we see at the end of the film.

Worst porno ever made. Worst film I've seen in years. Before Cage yelled fuck you at a painting this was sitting at -0.5 rating. Just god-awful garbage.

Dire drama that is a really strange mix of full on sex and utter banality.

Huge credit to Cage, Anderson and Reinhold for all going nude during sex scenes but god.. why for this movie? I can only assume they saw or hoped something better than what ended up on screen but I didn't notice anyone or anything in the credits that would suggest that to be the case.

I kept getting very odd flashes to connections with scenes from The Room (2003).. there's something about the relationship plot and the sex scenes that just put me in mind of that great movie. Inside i deeply hope that this movie was an inspiration for Tommy and maybe why he insists on his bare ass being in his movie.

The film of my life.
