Wild At Heart
Synopsis: Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern play a pair of lovers on the run in David Lynch's surrealist road movie Wild at Heart. Cage's Sailor Ripley is a violent ex-convict with an Elvis Presley fixation who falls in love with Dern's Lula Pace Fortune, the daughter of a rich, but mentally unstable, Southern belle named Marietta (Diane Ladd, Dern's real-life mother). Just after Sailor is released from prison, where he was jailed for brutally killing one of Marietta's thugs, he and Lula take off on a wild cross-country trip, pursued by his parole officer, her mother, criminals, bounty hunters, and detectives. Along the way, Sailor and Lula have a lot of sex, share their pasts, share their respective obsessions for Elvis and The Wizard of Oz, and meet a lot of bizarre characters, including a seedy ex-marine (Willem Dafoe) who persuades Sailor to participate in a bank robbery.

This is one of those movies that about half way through you say to yourself "What the Hell". Nicolas Cage is doing what he does best and the character that he plays works well for this acting style. Almost all of the characters are over the top for a good portion of the movie. Cage also has some very silly moments that would have been better in Ghost Rider. This movie has some really weird moments. It has some strange special effects that look silly at times. It also has a very artistic feel with how they tried to tie the story to The Wizard of Oz. It also went to a close of a match every time a match was lit, which is over done by the time the film ends. It is based on a book but at times it felt as though whoever was behind the story had done a little too much acid. The process of making a good movie is an art form and you don't have to add in artsy images to make the movie a good one. If you have not figured out my tone as of yet then you have not realized that I didn't care much for this film. I was ok with it until about half way through and then it just went ultra weird. I can't really recommend this film unless you enjoy pure weirdness in which case you should give this movie a rent.
