First up is&amp;nbsp;The Humanity Bureau, another piping hot cup of Redbox dreck with Cage as a renegade agent for a dystopian future agency meant to track the populace's productivity on a dying Earth. Unfortunately, that mostly takes the shape of shoddy green-screen effects, a meandering road trip in a chintzy station wagon, and a cast of Canada's finest day players to play off. Fortunately, things get better in Brian Taylor's zombie-parent horror-thriller&amp;nbsp;Mom and Dad, as Cage (along with Selma Blair) play stressed-out middle aged parents who find themselves the victim of a plague that causes people to murder their offspring. Sure, a good portion of it is a clever &quot;Home Alone meets&amp;nbsp;Dawn of the Dead&quot; scenario, with gore and power tools aplenty. But there's a fascinating strain of adult melancholy in there, with Cage doing some of his best recent work.&amp;nbsp; Plus, we talk a bit about Nic Cage's latest, the droll, bizarre A24 flick Dream Scenario!
