| Nicolas Cage stars in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent |
Rotten Tomatoes Plot: 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. Directed by Tom Gormican.

The one-hundred-year Automat saga serves up never before-seen archival footage and photographs and a cast including celebrity customers, company executives, historians, and members of the Horn & Hardart families. Directed by Lisa Hurwitz.
Tick, tock... tick, tock. Cue beads of sweat across my forehead. Why so anxious? The 94th annual Academy Awards starts in just over an hour, and I haven't even started to post my predictions. Last year was... a pass, fresh off an unimpressive 8 (correct) out of 11 in 2020. So without further adieu, let's dive in.

| GW's Joe Bamisile (#1) led all scorers with 30 points |
Men's Basketball Downs Duquesne in 3 OT, 98-93
Bamisile goes for career-high 30 with seven rebounds
It was Senior Night at GW on Wednesday night and an all-senior lineup of Theofanis Stamoulis, Bryan Knapp, Amir Harris, Ricky Lindo Jr. and Miles Gally were on the court for the opening tip. The move paid immediate dividends when Harris found Gally open at the top of the key and the senior walk-on buried the first 3-pointer of his career to put the Buff and Blue up 5-0 early, and the bucket portended a game of thrills from there. More than two-and-a-half hours and 55 minutes of basketball later, GW found its way to a 98-93 3OT win. To get there, it was anything but ordinary.
