Movie:

Adaptation is a witty dark comedy that takes you from the creative abyss that is L.A. to the no man's land in the Everglades.  Meryl Streep & Chris Cooper both do a brilliant job of portraying lost souls in search to find a passion in life again.  Surprisingly the always annoying Nicolas Cage is actually a good fit in his part as a writer riddled with social anxiety.  Parts that are particularly funny are the Being John Malkovich references & scenes with Robert McKee.  You really should watch Being John Malkovich before hand in order to enjoy & understand the humor behind its inclusion.  Overall this film shows us in a comical way how Hollywood sucks the creativity right out of projects & to gain real inspiration perhaps they should go outside of the political studio machine to get back in touch with life.
