Speak for yourself, Nic Cage is great.

Has he been in a good movie that wasn't an unintentional comedy since Raising Arizona?

Are you serious?

Yeah, but I forgot about Kick Ass and The Weather Man.


Everything else is pretty much the suckiest suck that has ever sucked.

[The Third Man]

NO.

Moonstruck was after Raising Arizona as well, so I'd throw that in there. He's tremendous in that.

Face/Off is an unintentional comedy. And the rest of them suck except maybe Adaptation and Elizabeth Shue's boobs in Leaving Las Vegas.

Nicolas Cage makes anything watchable. Well, except maybe Season of the Witch. I only watched about 30 minutes of that before I got bored, but in his defense I turned it off when he was off-screen for 5 minutes or so.

Saw Cowboys vs Aliens over the weekend. I was quite impressed by it. I'm really not sure why it has such terrible reviews.

You have to caveat: It's a summer blockbuster. There's only so much you can expect out of such a movie. It's not going to be an award winning film. Our standards are pretty low here.

That said, the film was surprisingly good. Strong characters, a well paced plot, good effects, good acting, a storyline with minimal plot holes.

All in all I enjoyed the film.
