Nicolas Cage
I love Nicolas Cage. I love him so much.
Like, if you’re bored and you need a trash movie that is SO MUCH FUN to watch, go check out Knowing. It’s awesome and bad and on Netflix. You have nothing to lose. But in film, Cage has only given great performances.
He was the best part of both Ghost Rider movies. Those movies weren’t the best, but he was so great in them. Especially Spirit of Vengeance, which was an actual fun movie that still I kind of like a lot.
He was also the best part of Kick-Ass, giving a faux-Adam West turn as Big Daddy, a big improvement over the original. Also, the film leaving out the twist of his origin was a smart move, as it would have made him totally unlikable.
He also popped up as Dr. Tenma, Astro Boy’s father/inventor in his 2009 animated movie.
SPECIAL BONUS: This movie fell apart, but Cage was also supposed to be Superman in Tim Burton’s Superman Lives. Too bad about that; I kinda would have wanted to see this one happen. It would have been weird as hell, but probably pretty fascinating too.
