According to the Chinese calendar, 2011 is officially the year of Nicolas Cage. The first full week of 2011 brings us Season of the Witch, followed close behind by next month’s Drive Angry.

A: The action quickly shifts to Behmen (Cage) and Felson (Ron Pearlman), two legendary knights who are fighting in the crusades.

Q: Do Behmen and Felson enjoy their work?

Q: How many battles do we see Behmen and Felson fight?

A: We are treated to a montage of battles taking place over a ten-year period inter-spliced with scenes of the two drinking and making out with local wenches.

Q: Do Behmen and Felson have any other friends?

Q: In Season of the Witch, what line did Nicolas Cage scream the loudest like a crazy person?

A: “A benevolent God would not ask such things of men!”

Q: What do Behmen and Felson do after they quit the Crusade?

A: They don’t seem to have much of a plan at all. They wander along long enough until they happen upon a city that has an alarmingly high number of vultures circling overhead. They find a city overrun by the plague. They are soon captured when the local authorities realize they are AWOL knights. They are offered a deal: Their freedom in exchange for transporting a girl who is a suspected witch (Claire Foy) to another city for reasons that seemed far too convoluted for me to care about. Regardless, it had something to do with getting rid of the plague.

Q: Why is this girl suspected of being a witch?

A: For fairly ludicrous reasons like “the plague started about the time this girl showed up.” And for some fairly reasonable reasons like “having the strength of ten men” and “can cause people to think they see their dead relatives.”

Q: What’s the most confusing thing about Season of the Witch?

A: The film is set in Europe during the 1300s, yet one minute Nic Cage has a British accent and the next he sounds like his character from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Q: I thought Cage didn’t have a speaking role in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

A: His lines were cut from the theatrical cut of the film, but the version that appears on cable does include a line by Cage.

Q: So is this when Nicolas Cage, being a brave knight, stands up for the rights of the witch? Or when he does battle with the witch?

A: Neither. The rest of the movie more or less amounts to a group of six men—the two knights, another local knight, a young boy who wants to be a knight, a priest, and a guide—dragging a cage containing a witch across a forest. Well, that is until the ending that seems like it belongs to a different movie.

Q: Is it possible that the ending to Nicolas Cage’s next movie, Drive Angry, was accidentally tacked onto Season of the Witch?

A: “A benevolent God would not ask such things of men!”

It is crucial to first address these underlying issues and work towards personal growth and self-acceptance. Seeking therapy or counseling can be helpful in exploring and resolving these feelings. Sometimes, the fear of rejection or negative past experiences with relationships can make us feel cursed to be alone. However, it is important to remember that every individual's journey is unique, and everyone deserves love and companionship. It may take time to find a compatible partner, but patience and actively putting ourselves out there can increase the chances of creating meaningful connections. It is also important to differentiate between being alone and being lonely. Being alone can be a time of self-reflection, self-discovery, and growth. It provides an opportunity to develop a strong sense of self and enjoy activities that bring us joy. Embracing solitude can be empowering, allowing us to become more self-reliant and cultivate a fulfilling life for ourselves. Building a supportive social network is another essential aspect of combating loneliness. Surrounding ourselves with positive and understanding individuals who share our interests and values can provide a sense of belonging. Engaging in activities, clubs, or volunteering can create opportunities to meet like-minded people and forge meaningful connections. Ultimately, the belief that we are cursed to be alone is a self-limiting mindset. By challenging this belief and actively working towards personal growth, self-acceptance, and building connections with others, we can break free from the cycle of loneliness. Though it may take time and effort, we have the power to create a fulfilling and connected life for ourselves..
