Con Air is ok and Bad Lieutenant is worse? seriously? his performance in Bad Lieutenant is one of his strongest ever...

I think he's a fan-fucking-tastic actor when he picks the right films. Leaving Las Vegas really couldn't have been anyone else. And in Kick-Ass - quirky, interesting, engaging? And i thought he suited The Rock perfectly.
Sometimes amazing, sometimes terrible.


A friend and I were discussing actors the other day.

Some we like, some we hate (looking at you, Hayden Christensen), but we also got on to Nicholas Cage.

Basically, what we realized, was that his films are nuts. He's extreme, he either makes really GOOD movies (Con Air, Kick-ass, Lord of War etc.) or some really TERRIBLE movies (Bangkok Dangerous, etc.) With next to none falling into any form of middleground. The only one I can think of off-hand is really Next, which was entertaining, but only mind-numbingly so.

Hah, interestingly enough I can think of one that isn't here.

It's in Con Air, when they're refueling the plane and.. err.. The Rapist guy is standing on top of the wings.

I have to agree, raven. I've never seen such half-assery from all cast and crew as I did with the remake. Bad Nick Cage, bad. Why can't you spend your time doing something that will benefit society. Like a sequel to Con Air. Now that I could get excited about.

Good job finding this trailer, to let people know a much better(and actually scary) version exists.

Also, I like the wailing guitar in the background of this trailer.

"It's not mine."

Nick Cage is definitely a badass. Just think a year after this movie he made the most ball-flexing awesome movie ever: Con Air.
