i am yet to find a nicholas cage movie that i didn't immediately take a liking to. i even liked that one film he did way back when,'Valley Girl' circa 1980-something, and watch it almost every time it pops up on digital cable. i think he plays his best roles when he's on a really cool epic mission - stalking occultists or ridding dark ages villages from witches - but i enjoy almost any dark hero role he takes on.
my most recent views - 'Drive Angry' and 'Season of the Witch'. while i'm pretty sure i wasn't supposed to laugh through 'Drive Angry' that's what made this movie so classically cool. this really bad dude busts right out of the fiery pits to avenge his slain daughter's death and rescue her newborn daughter (with the help of a four-letter dropping, kick azz blond of course!). although 'season of the witch' started out pretty cheesy and awkward, by the end, i was really engrossed in watching the good guys battle a league of evil spirits and hold off a total apocalypse.
long live the character actors of the world...they make random plot holes so much fun to watch and the ticket worth the overprice.
