I like Nicholas Cage, he was one of those "should not have been but is" actors.

Nobody, IMHO, can touch him or match him for his performance in "Leaving Las Vegas."

Is that the movie about this guy who selects vegas to die,and by chance get laid before that?
I think there are some other ones which were better,.. i dont remember the names but there were some interisting roadmovies with him, there was always some level of an elvis element in his roles if i remember right.
Besides he is proly one of those guys who is always playing himself to some extend.

Geeze, by the end of Leaving Las Vegas I wanted to kill myself along with him. 2 hours of my life, GONE FOREVER.

Now, Raising Arizona, different matter... it was great.

I also think this is true.

He has had some decent movies like Con Air and that one where he gets to live his life as it might have been if he had gotten married.

He's better than Kevin Costner by far.....

Kosner couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag.

Nick Cage is just good enough to act his way out of a dry paper bag.

To be honest, I liked the Characters played by Nick and Sean in the Rock. I loved that movie. Now that Lords of war or whatever, was just an anti-american piece of crap. It seemed to glorify Prostitution, gun running, etc.

Ironicly, when I was a teen, I kinda liked Valley girl. Haven't seen it in decades though.

Anti-American how? The character in Lords of War may have been born American, but that was about it. In fact, they said that they held no national identity or alliegence, except to the allmighty dollar.

The statement towards the end, about how America itself is the Largest gun runners in the world, without giving any responcibility to explain, or Differ to why we have shared arms in the past with various other world leaders.

Sounds anti-american to me.

Sheesh, talk about hyper-sensetive...
One of the Bond movies showed a Canadian naval Captain as a pussy struck idiot...
Well, to be honest I stopped watching Bond after that abortion on film, Moonraker, but one of my buddies is a fan and asked me to watch. And making fun of the navy is an army passtime... what was my point again?
Oh ya, take a tip from us canucks, we love laughing at ourselves! Well, unless it is Yankees making the joke, then we get all uppity...

A dark, dark, (really) dark moment in the Bond franchise, the memory of which I'd love to erase from my brain with an ice-pick.

However, you should just skip that one rather than stopping altogether. There have been a lot of really good Bond films since then.

Good grief, the plot to any Bond film is: He kills several bad guys and screws some hot women. Only the location changes.

and in Feb 2007, he's Johnny Blaze
aka Ghost Rider

What guy here (besides TheJudge) hasn't wanted a job with that description at some time in their life?

Well, that may be true. But some villains are more interesting than others. The guy from Moonraker was just a silly clown.

Also, some women are hotter than others. Did anyone really want to watch James Bond screw Grace Jones? I didn't think so.

I didn't want to like it... /really/ didn't! But I've gotta give credit where it's due...

"National Treasure" was mildly entertaining. Cage was terrible, of course, but the Reilly character made me laugh a few times and Diane Kruger is a hottie, especially with the eyeliner on...

I wouldn't own it, but it wasn't as bad as... say, Gone in 60 Seconds.

On a completely unrelated note, anyone else out there ever watch 'Cube'?
