Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Dream Scenario (out Jan 1) starts promisingly but quickly loses momentum. It's the story of a boring, ordinary guy (Nicolas Cage) who randomly appears in the dreams of thousands across the country. This could have been a wonderfully messed-up dark comedy but, as shown in the limp, illogical finale, it's ultimately a journey to nowhere. Grade: C+.
