Season of the Witch ** (2011, Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman, Claire Foy) – Classic Movie Review 4610
Another entertainingly bad wig, another entertainingly bad movie from Nicolas Cage, teaming up with Hellboy’s Ron Perlman as 14th-century knights. Behmen (Cage) and Felson (Perlman) are ordered on a mission to escort a girl (Claire Foy) accused of being […]
