Nicolas Cage in Con Air
Picture propriety of Touchstone Pictures (Walt Disney Company)

It was one of those days when everything goes wrong. It was late; I was tired and in need of one of those movies that are simply entertaining, and nothing is more entertaining than a Nicolas Cage film. The movie I chose was Willy’s Wonderland, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

Willy’s Wonderland narrates the adventures of a Janitor (Nicolas Cage) who is not really into small talk, or any kind of talking, while he tries to survive a night locked inside an abandoned amusement park with a gang of psychotic, serial killer, satanic animatronics that have the bad habit of killing people. Don’t worry, because this janitor has some tricks under his sleeve, giving place to my favorite quote of the entire film.

“He’s not trapped in here with them… they’re trapped in here with him.”
