Back to the Halloween madness and the scariest thing in Hollywood next to Mad Mel's talking Beaver, Nicholas Cage's Hair. We'll start this post with a tribute to the many manifestations of Mr. Cage's follicles...
Man of a thousand wigs?
So let's talk a little bit about the enigmatic Mr. Cage. First of all for those who don't know, Nick Cage isn't his real name. His actual name is Nicholas Kim Copolla and he is the nephew of acclaimed Godfather director Francis Ford Copolla. He has been married to some interesting people as well (3 so far)...
Rejected One Liners
What would Hollywood be without those ever-so-clever one liners that forever stick in minds - such phrases as:

The Walking Dead - Season 3
Occasionally, on Raving Reviews we actually watch TV shows and movies and that aren't completely idiotic - one of our favorite of these shows is the Walking Dead.

It has better than average quality Zombies.
It has an excellent cast of characters and even the stereotypical roles are well played...
The Beaver - Too Right!
The next movie we're reviewing as part of the 2012 Halloween meltdown is "The Beaver." Wait you say - this movie has nothing to do with the spookiest time of the year - we beg to differ. This movie contains three elements that we are sure will terrify most sane people:
Mel Gibson
Australian-Speak
Beaver hand puppets
Mel Gibson with his hand up a Beaver's bum...
Kudos to Jody for casting though - Mel Gibson was hands down (or up) the best choice in Hollywood for the role. Randy Quaid and Charlie Sheen no doubt would have turned in...
