Nick Cage - Page 2

I liked Face Off

Enjoyed Con Air

Enjoyed Ghost Rider..though that might be because of Eva...

hscmit · 11-24-2010, 08:59 AM

no love for Raising Arizona?

OpusEx · 11-24-2010, 09:14 AM

Though an obviously dark subject matter, I really enjoyed 8MM.

Like anyone else, Cage has good roles and bad, whether that means he made a bad decision in taking the role or the character just doesn't suit his ability/personality.

VirtualSmitty · 11-24-2010, 09:42 AM

Cage sucks, the only movie i thought he was halfway decent in recently was kickass.

Don't hold back there Smitty, I'm really not getting a clear understanding of how you feel about his acting

Mr B · 11-24-2010, 10:01 AM

I dug on the National Treasures, Next, The Family Man, Knowing, City of Angles was decent too.

However I have to agree, he has done so many terrible roles they outweigh the good.

My favorite Cage movie, maybe he should have stuck to comedy.

So, she won't agree with you on how hot Nick is, Darrell?

I liked Face Off. Liked The Rock as well

I liked the plot of Con Air but there is one thing I absolutely can not stand is people who fake Southern accents. Positively makes me want to throw my remote at the TV and set fire to the DVD while dancing around it naked screaming wildly.

*ahem*

That said Cage is hit or miss in my book

CasaDooley · 11-24-2010, 10:54 AM

Raising Arizona is one of my all time favs! I can't help but smile every time I see a package of Huggies at the store.

I also really liked Face Off and The Rock.

Bill86 · 11-24-2010, 11:30 AM

Face off and the rock are classics. Seen them both probably 10+ times.

Lucky_Hippo · 11-24-2010, 11:54 AM

I heard his uncle (Francis Ford Coppola) is issuing a re-write of The Godfather and writing his favorite nephew in as Michael Corleone along with some other relevant and great actors of today’s headlines such as Leo Dicaprio and Tobie Maguire.

I kid... I kid...

The Poet · 11-24-2010, 12:40 PM

Though I can agree that he's allowed himself to be typecast as a minor Marvel comics character - no, I don't mean Ghost Rider, but rather "Nick Cage, Hero For Hire", there are a ton of working actors who's choices, and work, I could much more easily criticize. Hey, what has Eddie Murphy done in the past decade, and what has Will Ferrell done . . . well, ever? And has tycoon Tyler Perry been involved with any project that was not a total piece of crap?

Bill86 · 11-24-2010, 01:01 PM

Will Ferrell recently did the other guys which was funny, and step brothers....but that's about it

Eddie Murphy IS the best example. Give that guy 20 million a movie he WILL take ANY movie. He's a complete sell out, watch RAW then look at his life. It's everything he said he'd NEVER be. Such a shame I enjoyed the heck out of the Beverly Hills Cop movies.

Who won't take work for a 20 million paycheck? Personally I think Cage is worse than Murphy in that regard, not only can Cage not act, he's also not funny. Murphy at least wrenched a chuckle out of me even in some of his bad films. Cage just sucks completely.

After you've taken a few of those it looks very pathetic. Don't get me wrong if someone was paying me $20 million to make a turd I'd do it...ONCE. But that is it. How much crap does one person REALLY need?

Cage at least tries, and all of his new movies don't suck. I enjoy 50% of them, which is far more than I can say for Eddie Murphy. I haven't seen any of his movies in the past......15 years?

I was only referencing newer movies, but yes I love Old School. His cameo in wedding crashers was priceless as well.

Thought "Lord of War" was pretty good

I really liked his 90's action flicks but he hasn't had a good movie in long time. He didn't do much in Kick Ass. That little girl made that movie great.
