I should have created a pool before writing this one... In your opinion, who's the King of Halloween? Is it Johnny Depp? Tim Burton? Both? Well, for me, it's Nicolas Cage. At least, since the last few years, when the actor seems to have chosen to be in some "questionable" weird horror films. Actually, I don't like the genre and haven't watched much of these movies so please, don't take me wrong here.
Nicolas Cage is one of my favorite Capricorns actors and this post is much deserved. But as I was saying, terror and horror are not my type. My favorite films with Nick are 'Con Air' (I'm literally listening to Liam Rymes while writing. To me, it's the best one of his carreer and he's just looking his best ❤︎) and 'Face Off' (the best John Travolta's movie!), and also love 'The Rock' (with Sir Sean Connery) and 'Gone in 60 seconds' (with Angelina Jolie, who's is looking gorgeous with that blond dreads) - I could watch these movies over and over on repeat forever.
Anyway, it's Halloween and we need to update the movie guide for the special spooky night. Check it out:

Young Nicolas Cage crazy and screaming the way only he can do it! I liked this one.
