I watched Up last night. Mildly amusing, a few memorable bits. I doubt I'll watch it again.
Going to the Movies: past, present, future.
- Thread starter Town Heretic
- Start date
I watched that too, pretty good movie- definitely worth renting.
Best comedy ive seen recently is a movie called Ghost Town - a lot of dry sarcastic humor, i thought it was hilarious.

No, but I wasn't about the initial remake and still had to admit I liked it. Some films are that way with me. I'll probably like this one after the fact too.
I thought Clash from a couple years ago was excellent so I'm sure I'll like this one. The special effects look spot on and as long as they are I should enjoy it at least.
I'm also looking forward to not seeing anything with Nicholas Cage in it for a while...if that's humanly possible. lain:

That reminds me. I think I'll watch Face Off tonight.
That reminds me. I think I'll watch Face Off tonight.
I like that movie. I have that movie, and i have Con Air, like that also - and i like the national treasure movie. I love city of angels,
family man, honeymoon in vegas
And a couple really old ones raising arizona and valley girl.
I actually liked Face Off the first time I watched it, then didn't the next. Guarding Tess and Raising Arizona are terrific movies. Angels was interesting, though I don't like downbeat endings in general. The Treasure films were ridiculous but fun. Hated Family Man and the one that came after that...where he played an arms dealer. Haven't cared for much he's done recently.
His appearance on SNL was hysterical:
"It has all the elements of the perfect Nick Cage movie: all the dialogue is either whispered or screamed; 2) everything in the movie is on fire.”
:chuckle:
The national treasure movies are the only recent ones ive seen by him, i just like the older ones ive named, oh and gone in 60 seconds, that was pretty good to me too.

I watch Raising Arizona every so often. :thumb:
I've seen all of the Coen brothers movies and liked most of them.
Other favorites are The Big Lebowski, Intolerable Cruelty and O Brother, Where Art Thou?

My Nicholas Cage element: the man cannot run gracefully. I don't know why, but that just drives me nuts.

Gotta hand it to GW for knowing how to pitch...
One of my favorite Nick Cage flicks is Face/Off with John Travolta. That movie rocks.

Haven't seen it. I could put it on the Netflix qeue. :think:
Did he run in it? I need to prepare myself mentally.
The best thing about that movie is that you get to see Cage as a bad guy (at least for a while). It's about a cop (Travolta) who is after an international criminal (Cage), but they end up switching places completely. As in, they switch bodies. So 'Face-off' carries dual meaning.
It's a 90's flick, and it has Cage and Travolta. What more is there to say
You should watch it :up:
