I.... I just can't ....

That's like refusing to see GoodFellas or Godfather II because you hated Meet the Fockers or Godsend or some other crappy Robert De Niro movie. As I said above, I think a lot of Nick Cage movies blow, but there are some great ones too.

I thought it was a top notch movie. Should be on everybody's must watch list if they haven't seen it yet. :thumbsup:

i saw it opening day. it was a good movie and the ending made it worth it but it was very boring and slow for the first 3/4 of it

How, BTW, could anyone say Nick Cage hasn't made a bad movie in decades? I am a fan of his, but many of his movies have really really sucked. Consider, for example, the following:

Just because you didn't like them, doesn't mean they weren't good.

the same can be said about the opposite, but of course, it's only personal opinion.

He is one of the best actor! Look at him he is not handsome like brad pitt. But he is very talented especially in one of his films city of angels...

Did YOU like Snake Eyes, 8MM, or Captain Corelli's Mandolin?

I love 8mm (creepy as hell) and Snake eyes is entertaining.. havent seen the other one though..

I liked it but it wasn't as good as I hoped for it to be.

Just a little more dull than I had expected.

One question someone posted here that I don't think was ever answered was about the claim that the US just left tons of M-16s in some African country because it was cheaper than shipping them home. Anyone know if that's true? I really doubt it, because at the time an M-16 would have cost about $600, and I have a hard time believing it'd cost more than that to ship them back.

From the Wiki it sounds like the weapons were left behind in Lebanon.

WTF wouldn't they destroy them over leaving them there? :confused: I just don't understand.
