Trailer Park: Films With Vision
Cinematical — This week, the eyes have it. We're looking at films for which vision is key. Knowing Nicolas Cage has the only new film going into wide release this week with Bangkok Dangerous, but frankly this tale of prophetic doom better grabs my attention. Cage plays a school teacher who digs up a time capsule and finds several pages of hand written numbers. He finds dates within those numbers, each of which corresponds to a major disaster that has occurred since the capsule was buried. ...

Cagefest: Ghost Rider
Cinexcellence — (Written for CageFest ) [image] Directed By: Mark Steven Johnson Starring: Nicholas Cage / Eva Mendes / Peter Fonda Rating: [image] I originally saw Ghost Rider last year during an airplane flight, and immediately hated it. After signing up to review it for Fletch’s CageFest, I was curious if I would find myself enjoying it more the second time around. I believe that many initial reactions for films come from the viewer’s mood at the time and the overall timing of the viewing. The DVD of Ghost Rider was also a director’s cut, ...

Simple mistake, yes, but I began to think about all the different celebrities and films with names and titles we just can't seem to spell right no matter how hard we try. As far as film titles go, the most confusing one of 2008 and 2009 has to be Quentin Tarantino's ...

Where there's smoke, there's Nicolas Cage
Come Back Shane! — My mother and I have been playing a game with Nicolas Cage movies since 1998. We try to spot a scene with Nicolas Cage running from fire. At least, that's what we used to do. Over the years we have tried to spot where Nicolas Cage either runs from or through fire, creates a fire, or is actually made of fire. I know it sounds absurd, but in most of his films there are scenes that could literally not exist without the fire. I think the game sums up his middling entire career. There are major spoilers in ...

Knowing - Preview & Trailer
Film Gecko — I haven’t been that intrigued by Nicolas Cage’s recent movies. Well, I’ve liked his “National Treasure” movies because they’re just good clean fun. But I wasn’t that crazy about “Bangkok Dangerous.” But “Knowing” looks like it could be good. In “Knowing,” Rose Byrne plays the daughter of a woman who buried a 1962 time capsule, along with the dates of the assassinations of historical figures, the hotel fire death of the wife of a professor (Cage) and an imminent world apocalypse. After the professor discovers its contents ...

The Human Factor, directed by Clint Eastwood, is based on the true story of the relationship between Pienaar and Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) and how in his first term, Mandela used the Rugby World Cup to unite South Africa, a year after the end of apartheid.

Knowing Review
Film Experience Blog — ... In the present day we meet a sad widower Professor Koestler (Nicolas Cage) and his hearing impaired son Caleb. We know it won’t be long before they discover Lucy’s “drawing” and all hell breaks loose. We know this because Knowing is the furthest thing from subtle in mood or gradual in its foreshadowing. As early as the prologue the filmmaker makes no differentiation between the creepy parts and the mundane. It’s all scored and shot the same negating the twisting effect of true creepiness. Thriller music, spooky production design choices and low camera ...

I’m convinced that Paul must take his interviewees through some yoga moves first, because they always seem so thoughtful and meditative.

Gonein60Seconds-Eleanor.jpg I really did dislike the film although it had plenty of potential and a ton of gorgeous cars, but with Angelina Jolie hiding behind her hairdo, Nicolas Cage leading, and the real actors stuck in second rate roles, this film was all about the cars, and the mythical car at pinnacle of the story was the Shelby Mustang GT500, gorgeous it is too and sounds like a wild animal. What Cage was doing sitting behind the wheel with his usual bemused look on his face I do not know. The car outshone the stars, that's for sure, in fact most of the cars did. 1968 ...

Is that such a great non-Hollywood scene? One of the strongest ones I thought about is from Leaving Las Vegas .

The word from Venice: Bad Lieutenant might not be that bad
Come Back Shane! — Anyone who knows me is aware of my loathing of Nicolas Cage and his films. He's annoying and his films usually suck. But the trailer for Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans revealed that this would be one of the few movies that didn't have Cage racing through fire, manically trying to save the world from certain doom. Which is a good thing. Variety's Todd McCarthy shows that maybe my instincts were right and the film does not entirely suck: From the moment it was announced, ...

Essentially, Detective Terence McDonagh (Nicolas Cage) hurts his back and must take painkillers, which opens the floodgates for him to eventually dive into the world of crack, cocaine, and marijuana (consumed in copious amounts). It begins with the murder of five African immigrants and the ensuing investigation, which leads him on an adventure through the New Orleans drug underworld.
