Need more movies like "Knowing"

[TheVrolok]

I didnt hate the movie per say, but i do hate Nick Cage as an actor. Unfortunatly he just happens to land a lot of good movies to play in.

I firmly believe that Nick Cage sold his soul to the devil. It's so bizarre. I think he's an absolutely awful actor, just terrible. I've never seen him give a good performance aside from in Adaption where his character just fits.. however, I love just about every single movie he's ever made.

not sure if it counts but "Dark City"?

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

Hmmm a lot of movies I never heard about, nice!

Already watched Donnie Darko and Butterfly Effect (not the sequels though), and loved both of course

He didn't need to sell his soul... he is a Coppola. He just changed his name so people didn't think he got in the business because of his fam.

I know we have already had this argument. He isn't that horrible and he has been in some amazing movies and made some sweet characters.

Most recently, he was AWESOME as big daddy in Kickass.

Didn't work out so well for Sofia.

There's just some sort of charm that Cage's terrible acting has, I don't know what it is.

 

[AnitaPeterson]

Try "Gigli"

And "Glitter".

Take a look at Cashback. It's not really alternate reality, but there are some...odd things going on.

To be honest, I really liked The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation .. both of which she directed, but yeah, as an actor.. eek.

I really liked Lost In Translation as well. Virgin Suicides was just so-so for me.

To this day, I still have no idea why people always say Donnie Darko is one of the best science fiction movies. It's watchable, but barely. I think it happened when a bunch of trendy hipsters decided they wanted to pick a B-movie to claim was awesome, and then from then on out everyone wanted to be cool and join in on saying it was the best movie they'd ever seen. It was subpar, to say the least; I'd rather watch Eraserhead.

I am with others on Paycheck and The Butterfly Effect (haven't seen any of it's sequels). I liked Next from what I saw of it (about half). Dark City is not bad and definitely has a pretty good premise, but I think it will have to get re-made in the future because I don't think it was done as well as it should have been.

I'll toss one up that's come out recently, but that I think a lot of people haven't seen: Moon. It's not action-based like most of the others mentioned, but it's definitely one of the better Sci-Fi psychological/drama movies I've seen in a while.

If you're looking for one with a little more action, Pandorum is pretty good.

And yes, I'm ignoring the whole time-travel idea/future prediction idea and going more with the overall messages / feels of the movies

Nick Cage gives some awesome performances in some awesome films.

You could say the exact same thing about DiNero. They have both made trash, but their gems are precious.

Well, Francis Ford Coppola is his uncle. I'm sure that had a lot to do with his success. He does seem to be a likable, kind of quirky guy. He's not a bad actor, but he shouldn't have been a blockbuster type one either.
