  • #72: Left Behind (2014)

    My name is Ed and I will soon have seen every film Nicolas Cage has ever made. I will also be a millionaire, because every time I watch one of the films, I pick 6 numbers and use them to enter the UK National Lottery. There is no way that this plan cannot succeed. Christianity,…

  • #71: Outcast (2014)

    My name is Ed and I need to win the lottery because the sum total of my worldly wealth is £9.98 in change plus some foreign coins and a coin shaped token from commemorating some event I attended in 2012. Have you seen the price of the own brand Tesco lager these days? This no…

  • #70: Rage (2014)

    My name is Ed and in a few short weeks I will have seen every Nicolas Cage movie, until they release another one. And presumably by then I will have won the UK National Lottery, because after I watch each film I purchase a ticket using numbers based on that film. The shamanic acting force…

  • #69: Joe (2013)

    Nice. My name is Ed, and I am desperately trying to win the lottery before I run out of money and have to live in a bin. You might think pinning all your hopes on winning the lottery is stupid, but I have a plan. I am picking the lottery numbers using Nicolas Cage films.…

  • #68: The Frozen Ground (2013)

    My name is Ed, and I am still slogging through the slim pickings that are the recent works of Nicolas Cage, because even though a lot of these films are bad, I still ostensibly believe that by picking six numbers connected to them, I will win the National Lottery This time: It’s another Con Air…

  • #67: The Croods (2013)

    My name is Ed and when I have finished watching every film Nicolas Cage has ever been in, I will finally know happiness. If for no other reason than because I will have definitely managed to win the UK National Lottery using numbers picked from one of those films. As the famous saying goes: money…

  • #66: Stolen (2012)

    My name is Ed, and thank God there aren’t many of these films left so I can stop thinking of variations on this introduction. I watch a Nicolas Cage film, I play the lottery with numbers based on that film. Yes? Fine. The opening of Stolen gave me a strong sense of deja vu: either…

  • #65: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)

    My name is Ed, and I am watching Nicolas Cage films then playing the lottery using numbers based on those films until I can find someone who can lift this awful curse. This time: Ghost Rider 2! Expectations were low. It’s unfortunate that the second time Cage chose to make a sequel, it was the…

  • #64: Seeking Justice/Justice (2011)

    My name is Ed and in less than 3 months time, I will have seen every film Nicolas Cage has ever made. I’ve been watching two a week, each time choosing 6 numbers based on that film and using them to play the UK National Lottery, which I intend to win, using the mystical energy…

  • #63: Trespass (2011)

    My name is Ed, or at least it used to be until I started watching Nicolas Cage films in an attempt to win the National Lottery. Since then I’ve lost my job, the country voted Brexit, and the Rock and Vin Diesel have fallen out. There are no more certainties. Trespass is a film about…
