Nicolas Cage stars as... Nick Cage in the action-comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Creatively unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, the fictionalized version of Cage must accept a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan (Pedro Pascal). Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative (Tiffany Haddish) and forced to live up to his own legend, channeling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones. With a career built for this very moment, the seminal award-winning actor must take on the role of a lifetime: Nick Cage.
Showing exclusively at theaters, THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT opens to movie going audiences on April 22. For more information, head over to nickcage.movie

Extreme Weather 4D brings audiences face to face with Mother Nature at her most dangerous
moments.
Traveling to Alaska's melting glaciers, filmmakers capture the action
as massive chunks of ice shear off into the frigid water with explosive
force. In the Midwest, cameras roll as storm chasers risk their lives to
capture data as deadly tornadoes race toward
them. And, in drought-ravaged California, filmmakers embed themselves
with courageous first responders fighting to contain raging wildfires.
"Extreme Weather 4D is the perfect film to experience in 4D and we are delighted for the
Michigan Science Center to host the world premiere,” remarked John
Wickstrom, National Geographic Director of Film Distribution
It is exciting to launch
Extreme Weather 4D in the state of the art Toyota Engineering Theater with all of its amazing
effects. Audiences will be completely immersed in the film, experiencing the adventure with all senses.”
The TET is designed to inspire the next
generation
of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning. The
theater delivers a unique four-dimensional experience
that engages multiple senses. It houses a state-of-the-art HD
projection system with 3D viewing capabilities and enhanced space and
lighting for a more immersive experience, and, the
TET is the only theater in Michigan to incorporate “spark” effects without heat, smoke or pyro techniques.
This holiday season my kids are looking forward to the Christmas break from school, a visit from Santa Claus, and a family outing to the movie theater to see SING. They've been excited about seeing this new animated film ever since I took them to The Secret Life of Pets during the summer and they saw the trailer for SING promoting its Christmas time release. To share my son and daughter's excitement for this movie and provide some holiday cheer, A Geek Daddy has a fun video, some amusing activity sheets, and an exciting giveaway for you in anticipation of the December 21st theatrical release of SING.
Don't let fear stop you from doing the thing you love is the theme of the story portrayed in SING which features the vocal talents of Academy Award winners Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon alongside Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton and Grammy Award-nominated Tori Kelly. Featuring an uplifting message and full of entertaining songs, SING is sure to put you in a cheerful mood. Enjoy this video with a special message from Tori Kelly to put you in the holiday spirit:
Set
in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, Sing stars
Buster Moon (McConaughey), a dapper koala who presides over a once-grand
theater that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal—some might
even say delusional—optimist who loves his theater above all and will
do anything to preserve it. Now faced with the crumbling of his life’s
ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its
former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.
Five
lead contestants emerge: Mike (MacFarlane), a mouse who croons as
smoothly as he cons; Meena (Kelly), a timid teenage elephant with an
enormous case of stage fright; Rosita (Witherspoon), an overtaxed mother
run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets; Johnny (Egerton), a young
gangster gorilla looking to break free of his family’s felonies; and Ash
(Johansson), a punk-rock porcupine struggling to shed her arrogant
boyfriend and go solo.
Each
arrives under Buster’s marquee believing that this is their shot to
change the course of their life. And as Buster coaches each of his
contestants closer and closer to the grand finale, he starts to learn
that maybe the theater isn’t the only thing that is in need of saving.
To help you pass the time while waiting for SING to arrive, there are some FREE activity sheets you can download that include coloring pages, finger puppets and word puzzles featuring the animals from the movie. Just visit singmovie.com/printables to print them out.
