Well, Nic Cage is always money in my book. I like how he gets all intense right at the end of a sentence! 5/24/2010 1:23:17 PM |

FTR, Raising Arizona was a success solely becasue of the Coen brothers, and it was too early in Cage's career for him to douche up an awesome movie. 5/24/2010 4:30:18 PM |

+1 for Nicholas Cage appreciation.

Oh yeah, forgot he was in The Rock. Although, I watched it for Sean Connery. Seriously, Nicholas Cage as a nerdy chemist is about the same stretch as Hugh Jackman in Swordfish as a computer hacker or Harrison Ford in Firewall as an IT admin...
And as for Kickass, he was ok in it. Very creepy in some parts, but pretty freaking awesome, specially the warehouse fight scene. His little goodbye speech at the end killed it for me though.

How would it not be a serious comment? His last two real films are Kick-Ass and Bad Lieutenant. I have not seen Kick-Ass, but he is supposedly great in it. Bad Lieutenant is great, and would not be as great with any other actor. I'm trying to figure out if your comment is a serious comment.
It's cool and easy to hate Nicolas Cage, just like it's cool and easy to hate Keanu Reeves.
Both are extremely underrated as actors, and are good in the right roles. Money trouble has prompted Cage to take every shit sandwich but still unintentionally funny role out there.

Keanu Reeves was awesome in both Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. Other than that though, not so good.
I enjoyed Gone in 60 Seconds and can watch Con Air and The Rock every once in awhile. The Wicker Man is probably the funniest movie of the last 10 years.

The Nic Cage Gone in 60 Seconds is a piece of shit.
The original is one of the best stunt driving films ever made.
The remake of The Wicker Man is insane and incredible.
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is also insane and incredible. 5/25/2010 2:20:51 AM |

so he's good more often than bad... i'm gonna go through his recent movies and see if that checks out
The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans (2009) - good Knowing (2009) .... a TERRIBLE fucking movie Bangkok Dangerous (2008) .... really really bad National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) .... horrible Next (2007) .... maybe the worst movie i've ever seen Grindhouse (2007) .... not counting this Ghost Rider (2007) .... also one of the worst movies i've ever seen The Wicker Man (2006) .... haven't seen it World Trade Center (2006) .... awful The Weather Man (2005) .... not good Lord of War (2005) .... entertaining movie but i thought he was awful in it National Treasure (2004) .... really bad Matchstick Men (2003) .... bad Adaptation. (2002) .... good 5/25/2010 10:31:24 AM |

I'm going to fix this list.
Quote : | " The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans (2009) - good Knowing (2009) .... entertaining Bangkok Dangerous (2008) .... decent, worth a rent. National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) .... Very fun movie to watch. He was great in it (and the first one) Next (2007) .... not the worst movie by any means. I'd say its entertaining one time through. Grindhouse (2007) .... never heard of it Ghost Rider (2007) .... stupid movie, but then again I know nothing about the comic. The Wicker Man (2006) .... haven't seen it World Trade Center (2006) .... He was great in it. I'd say this was a good movie simply because of the story. Could have been better for sure. The Weather Man (2005) .... funny Lord of War (2005) .... awesome movie and he was awesome in it. National Treasure (2004) .... Very fun movie to watch. Matchstick Men (2003) .... never seen it Adaptation. (2002) .... never seen it" |
I'd like to add:
The Rock ... AWESOME MOVIE!5/25/2010 11:13:46 AM |

matchstick men was a good movie
i will say that he nearly pulled off that character but that twitch he would always do was too distracting
i was watching point break the other day and the part where keanu reeves yells "I'm fucking surfing" made me laugh for about 5 mins so I missed whatever happened after that

i thought he was god awful...i guess people are pretty split about this movie

How can anyone not like Point Break? It's the movie that has everything. I'm not going to make a list of it's merits because it would be easier to make a list of the merits it is missing. Here's the list of merits that are missing:

I'm confused. Are you trolling me? Did you actually read the sentence you bolded earlier?
I think people let their preconceived feelings about Nicolas Cage get in the way. He's fine in Lord of War.
And again, when he's bad he's hilarious. Sorry if he makes you angry when he's bad or something, that's just weird.
