stuckincincy Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.reuter...-square-reuters Eh - AFAIK, he's a decent chap who knows he's not a Shakespearean actor or a Greek paragon of beauty. His work, acting, dialogue in Raising Arizona, Moonstruck, Peggy Sue Got Married, It Could Be You and the umpteenth remake of City of Angels was decent, humorous where called for, and heartwarming.

Dude can't act his way out of a paper bag. If it weren't for Uncle Francis he'd be waiting tables at the local bistro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raising Arizona was the only thing that I can think of that I liked Cage in. I found that movie hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 What about his southern accent in Con Air? "Whyyyyy cudntchayuu just put thaa bunny in thaa bowcks?" Nothing would compel me to go see a movie like Con Air, so I don't know. I merely mention that he has made a few decent movies, and seems to be an unpretentious fellow. I can't fault him for making dreck movies - most in the biz do so too, for the $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I thought Leaving Las Vegas was pretty good but maybe I was just enthralled with Elizabeth Shue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Castor Troy. Everyone forgets Castor Troy. Not everyone can act good in somebody else's body. He was really good as John Travolta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Cage is a wierd dude. I saw him on Letterman and he was talking about how he purchased a home in New Orleans that is considered the most haunted house in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I remember watching Fantasia on acid many years ago and I could have sworn I saw a Ferrari and a Porshe chasing each other. I am not a Nic Cage fan either, even though Con Air is a guilty pleasure. Let's face it, people like Con Air because of John Malkovich & Steve Buscemi, not because of Cage. I will say that Cage was good in Family Man, that's about all I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think Cage was excellent in "Valley Girl", "Leaving Las Vegas", "Raising Arizona", "Adaptation", and especially "Birdy". Unfortunately, like a lot of good young actors, winning an Oscar was the kiss of death for his career. He made one bad flick after another, and took roles that did not fit him. Not exactly Cuba Gooding Jr, but more like, say Gwyneth Paltrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
