Question of the Day: Nicolas Cage -- Horrible actor, or good in the right role?
Pretty straight forward question today: what do you all think of Nicolas Cage? I personally think he deserves what he gets for things like The Wicker Man and Ghost Rider, but I also think he deserves to be recognized for how great he can be in the right role: Wild at Heart, Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation, and The Weather Man just to name a few. What are some other good roles? Or do you think he's always bad? I've always found Cage to be a curious actor who makes curious decisions. I think it's safe to say there's a good actor buried under there, and even though he may be bad in certain roles...he's never uninteresting. One needs only to see The Wicker Man for proof.
I was thinking about this because of the new Herzog/Cage collaboration Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans...the trailer is interesting to say the least. If you haven't seen it yet the trailer comes after the jump...
