Nicolas Cage = Dreadful

[MightyAphrodite]

9mm would be good if he used it to shoot himself

loads of people have said 9mm, maybe its a Freudian slip.

 

[Homeless Mal]

I saw it years ago and still cannot believe what a pointless film it truly is

 

[bluestreak]

I quite liked 8mm. And Cage's early career is speckled with hints of excellence. But it was not to be. As the intro of Con Air began last night, we looked at each other and reeled out a list of shite movies, arguing over Con Air's position. Lo! Here it is. What was that film where he could see a few minutes into the future. That was fucking awful and got switched off after twenty minutes. I'm going to vote for The Rock, as it was riduculous without being ridiculous enough to be any good. I know there are worse but I've not seen Face/Off or The Wicker Man.

its called 'Next' (which ive mentioned on here already ...) and it is AWFUL.

 

[Homeless Mal]

He was excellent in Birdy as the injured, loyal, conflicted, depressed, hardass GI

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I thought he was okay in Face/Off, in that something about his cheesy overacting fitted the whole thing quite well. The Rock was just shit and I don't think he was any shitter than anything else in it. And I have to confess that I've not seen any of the others because I was fairly sure I'd hate them.

He was good in Adaptation and Leaving Las Vegas, as others have said.

 

[El Sueno]

The only film I can think of which isn't complete shite is was Raising Arizona. And that wasn't one of the Coen's best either.

 

[strung out]

leaving las vegas was on last night and it wasn't too bad compared to the other shit he's been in

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Con Air, surely?

I paid £1 to see it at the cinema and I still wasn't sure if I'd been overcharged. Although in my more generous moments, I'm tempted to think that it was actually a brilliant comedy cunningly disguised as a shit action movie.

it is.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

He's done some shit but I loveeee Vampires kiss. That's a bit nuts and he is definitely a cunt in it.

 

[likesfish]

"we salute oh brave flying Elvises"
lord of war looked cool
just about everything

 

[Madusa]

I'm quite shocked at the Face Off and Con Air haters. I love them especially Con Air.

Me too, Sparkles. Me too.

What was that film he was in last night with Sarah Jessica Parker? That looked shit.

 

[Bernie Gunther]

<snip> I'd vote for the wicker man remake but a) it's not in the poll and b) I'd rather scratch my eyes out with a coathanger than actually watch it. <snip>

This ...

 

[red rose]

I can't choose between con air and face off but face off is such a shit film in its own right I've picked that. Con air is at least tragicaly funny.

 

[strung out]

it was a heart warming rom com

 

[Bakunin]

it was a heart warming rom com

Bleeeeuuuuuurgh!

Give me car chases and explosions any day.

 

[sinbad]

All of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yup, and snake eyes. NC aint bad at all, imo...

 

[Gingerman]

ConAir and Face/Off are great examples of pure mindless, enjoyable, over the top entertainment,just switch yer brain off when watching them.

darn right.

Face/off was John Woo as well. As Tarantino put it....

"Yeah, John Woo 'knows about' action films, in the same way that michaelangelo 'knows about' painting ceilings...."

 

[Pie 1]

There's just so much to choose from.

But I'm going to go for City of Angels, a utterly, dumbfoundingly, god awful remake of Wings of Desire.
I had the mis-fortune to see this steaming puddle of piss at a press screening, and about half way through everyone was openly laughing at it & walking out.

His forlorn fucking face makes me want to hurt things


...& according to Imdb, the cunt's got no less than 9 films in the pipe for 2009 :-(

 

[Macabre]

It has to be The Wickerman, surely? It was a great movie that went through remake-Cage hell. All the movie had no expectatins attached as the fact he was in them made making them good a long shot. That said, I haven't seem Bangkok Dangerous which I'm sure will be the same.

 

[N_igma]

That Steve Buscemi lowered himself to appear in Con Air is a tragedy in and of itself.

Dude, Steve Buscemi starred in Billy Madison! Billy fucking Madison!

 

[dervish]

wiskers posting

That one where he was an ambulance driver was pretty shit.

Bringing out the Dead? I thought that was OK. I hate Cage though, his stupid voice winds me up.

 

[zit]

The Wickerman remake, obviously.

 

[JimW]

Not read the thread but Windtalkers was appalling and an insult to the Indian lads it was ostensibly about although it focussed on his entirely fictional character instead.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Dude, Steve Buscemi starred in Billy Madison! Billy fucking Madison!

Innit.

He was also in "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry"




hes a great actor yeah, but he does his fair share of hollywood fluff too.

 

[Detroit City]

The only film I can think of which isn't complete shite is was Raising Arizona.

indeed

 

[isitme]

most of those films would be good if he wasn't in them

 

[Detroit City]

well he is the nephew of Francis Ford Copolla innit? must have opened a lot of doors for him that otherwise would have been closed
