WIth the soon-to-be-released, Bangkok Dangerous, I have myself looking at the long and "illustrious" movie careeer of one Nicolas Cage.
To make it quick, I don't like it. I've never liked Nick Cage. I can't stand that slow, Southern accent he does in some films. Or that half-tilt of the head and smile look he makes. Or the way he enunciates certain words, but not in a cool, menacing manner like Christopher Walken, but like the spawn of a Valley Girl and the Speech Device in Microsoft Windows. Call me crazy, but I think John Travolta did a better Nick Cage than Nick Cage. Nick Cage's Nick Cage was a poor man's Nick Cage compared to John Travolta's Nick Cage.
But I will admit this, Nick Cage gets gigs in some of the coolest movies. Gone in 60 Seconds. Awesome. Lord of War. Great. Family Man. Fantastic + Tea Leoni is smoking hot. Leaving Las Vegas. Depressingly Good.
So maybe Nick Cage has some sort of charm about him that keeps on bringing in the big bucks, but for the most part, I can't really stand his acting. The End.
