Nick Cage stole 2 hours of my life that I want back. What a shithouse movie. It started off good, suspense was there but the ending was crap. Nearly as bad of an ending as the latest Indiana Jones.
1 1/2 out of 5

Yeah early on it looked like it might be pretty good but the ending was horrible..

I'm not sure I can think of a movie that he's been in where this isn't the case.

He's been in a whole lot of shitty movies, but there are some good ones on his resumé, too.

All good ones, and Red Rock West is a little known gem. Also, I know they were just stupid b-movies, but Face/Off and ConAir provided lots of laughs for me when they came out. That said, it's true that Cage has been on a horrible streak of movies, but he's been getting paid.

I liked Face/Off a lot when I first watched it, but it hasn't held up for me -- it seems way too hokey now.

That's why I like it. Unintentionally bad, or maybe it was intentional.

Speaking of Nicholas Cage movies: I watched Amos & Andrew (1993) for the first time a couple days ago and had a few good laughs. It has Nick Cage and Samuel L. Jackson, as well as a few other well known people. It's a pretty cheesy movie, but somewhat funny as long as you don't take it too seriously.
Knowing - veryzer - 04-06-2009
"face/off" is a classic. "wild at heart" is one of my all time favorite movies. "8mm" was underrated.
and i shit you not, "valley girl" may be the best teenage titty movie of all time. i knew he was gonna be a star when i saw that. "the rock" and "con-air" were good action flicks as well.

I forgot about The Rock. I liked that one. I've never seen Valley Girl.
Knowing - rok - 04-06-2009
Valley Girl is very dated, but it's a nice time capsule movie. I enjoyed it.

Yeah I guess I've just seen all the shitty ones and not any of the good ones. Leaving Las Vegas I think is the only one of those I've seen, and that was a good one. Every other movie I've ever seen with him has sucked, especially those God-awful National Treasure Movies.

Bringing out the Dead is Scorsese and Adaptation is Kaufman. When he picks good projects, he's fine. He just hasn't been very selective over the past 8 or so years. I guess he has bills to pay...
