Ok, real quick....
Nick Cage has got to be one of the most overrated actors in America (and that says a lot). Yeah, 'Nick', not going to even let him assume the 'Nicolas' (gives all us Nicholas a bad name). I mean, the guy is a Coppola, so I could give him a break...but why? If you have not seen him in Con Air, or Ghost Rider, or City Of Angels...then surely you've seen him in National Treasure. The guy just over-reacts, over-acts, and hacks his way though every B movie he can get his hands on.
Take a look at this video if you don't believe me.
Tone it down Nicky Boy.
Still don't believe me? Then tell me why his Uncle Francis did not even pick him for Godfather III, where he had to settle for Cuban Andy Garcia to play Vincent Mancini? Or why would Cousin Sophie choose Bill Murray to whisper in Scarlett Johansson's ear instead of Cage in Lost in Translation? Could it be Nick could not manage to tone his overacting down to the required whisper?
OK, OK, this is supposed to be a fairly positive blog....so I won't trash him to death. Even I like a loose blow-em-up movie from time to time. And some of Cage's movies fill that bill, absolutely. But let's never kid ourselves that Cage is ever going to emote beyond his limited talent level.
enuff said
Cheers, nca
