11/05: Vampire's Kiss is a plotless flick that brings the zany best out of Nicolas Cage.

It's hysterical at times but is mostly sleep-incuding. Shockingly, for his role, Nicolas Cage eats a live cockroach. I don't know why he did it for such a puny film, but at any rate, I say bravo for his courage. He actually did it in two takes.

Maria Conchita Alonso, helming a somewhat underdeveloped role, does a marvelous job and is effective as Nicolas Cage's co-star. However, it's disappointing to see her to be the bearer of rampant sex harassment and workplace abuse.

All in all, Vampire's Kiss will always be famous for Nicolas Cage eating a live cockroach.
