Cowabunga! ‘The Surfer’ is a sunbaked Cage match

“The Surfer” is the kind of Nicolas Cage movie we’ve been getting a lot of lately – the kind that’s mostly about Nicolas Cage rather than any character he’s signed on to play. The Cage brand in all its gonzo dedication – the baroque line readings, the tireless work ethic, the fascinating lack of discernment in choosing projects – has become a selling point, especially to a younger generation of fans who worship his go-for-broke spark as a badge of honor and a beacon of honesty in a corrupt, corporatized entertainment culture.

REVIEW: Tina Fey’s reboot of ‘The Four Seasons’ feels like a throwback

“The Four Seasons” might look at first glance like a knockoff of “The White Lotus,” Mike White’s astringent comedy about the ultrarich and the staff serving them at a luxury hotel chain based on the Four Seasons resorts. Here, too, wealthy vacationers, played by the likes of Tina Fey and Steve Carell, both of whom have built careers on exceptional satire, agonize over first-world problems in opulent settings.
