The Sorcerer’s Apprentice – Trailer
24 December 2009 5:11 PM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Directed by: Jon Turteltaub
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina, Monica Bellucci
Rating: Nr
Release Date: July 16, 2010
Trailer Score: 5/10
My Thoughts: The legacy of Nic Cage’s haircuts is going to continue with this movie, which has the Cagemaster looking grayed and shaggy (or homeless). This style kind of brings me back to Bangkok Dangerous, a place I don’t want to revisit. His delivery of his few lines in this trailer don’t give me much hope. Listen to how he says “You are going to be a source for good, and a very important sorcerer.” It’s not gravelly enough to distance itself from just being Nic Cage with a magic wand. It’s also not very convincing. Consider his goofy tone with his goofy look, and you’ve got a skeptical situation. One of his more laughable performances? I really hope not. »

Top 7 Movies of the Decade (another opinion)
19 December 2009 5:09 PM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
I have always struggled with the notion that perhaps movies, as a whole, are getting worse. As anyone who has seen what’s been playing for the past ten years will notice, there’s plenty of evidence to indicate that the brightness from the moving pictures is getting darker. Screenwriters and directors are sticking to formulas when hesitant to experiment with their creative juices, and at the same time, big studios are playing it safe by adapting anything in sight. But while many movies crowd up the marquee like a group of regular students with satisfying GPAs, cinema has still been able to continue thanks to true poindexters of the art, those who craft experiences so fulfilling and basically perfect that the deconstruction of “the movies” seems to still be a myth. With films like Talk to Her, Superbad, and There Will Be Blood, »

Summit To 'Drive Angry' With Nic Cage
17 December 2009 12:57 AM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Summit Entertainment, the studio that "Twilight" built, will release the Nicolas Cage revenge movie "Drive Angry" on February 11, 2011. "Angry," which is now in pre-production, centers on a man (Cage) driven by rage who is chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby. The vendetta/rescue spins out of control, as the chase gets bloodier by the mile, leaving bodies strewn along the highway.The project, which will be in 3-D, is being directed by Patrick Lussier ("My Bloody Valentine") from a screenplay penned by Lussier and Todd Farmer. I think his track record proves that you have to be veeerrry careful how you use Cage. Obviously, the quirkier the role, the better. He just doesn't belong in standard leading man roles. Hopefully, between his surprisingly entertaining work in "Bad Lieutenant," and what I'm hearing is a (pun 100 percent intended) kick ass performance in the upcoming "Kick Ass, »

6 Actors That Should Probably Not Watch Their Own Movies
23 November 2009 7:16 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
When I interviewed Bill Nighy last year, three things seemed to stand out about the man. One, he shakes hands with only the front part of three fingers like I have to imagine witches do. Two, he had a greater sense of humor about himself than anyone else I've ever met. Three, he was insanely, effortlessly cool. He continues to exude both coolness and the self-effacing grace that makes him such a charismatic personality (aside from the willingness to star in serious work and movies about werewolves fighting vampires) by claiming that he can't stand the experience of watching movies that he's in. He, like most actors who have thrown out that claim in the past, seems completely put off by seeing himself on screen. Hardly an original claim, but one that rings true for anyone who has ever seen a bad photo of themselves (be they regional theater actors or international film stars). So I decided »

Review: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
22 November 2009 6:27 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Remember Nicolas Cage? He doesn't work very often so the name may not immediately ring a bell, but maybe some of his films might jar your memory... Birdy, Raising Arizona, Wild At Heart, Adaptation? (Not to be confused with Nicholas Z. Kage, an "actor" who sleepwalks through roles and films like Fire Birds, Trapped In Paradise, Snake Eyes, Gone In Sixty Seconds, National Treasure, Ghost Rider, Next, Bangkok Dangerous, and many, many more.) He's an actor who craves odd and interesting characters but manages to shape them into real, fully developed people that sometimes outshine the films they inhabit. Where other actors just present an idiosyncratic caricature he crafts people who are more than simply the sum of their quirks. So as I said earlier, Cage doesn't make a lot of movies. The good news though is that after a multi-year absence from movie screens he's finally returned in Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Detective »

Nicolas Cage: Does he wear his hair, or does it wear him?
12 November 2009 3:29 PM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
I miss the days when actors had bad hair days. When their coifs weren't so coiffed, when their heads were allowed to look scruffy, greasy, crazy, unkempt. Not Robert Pattinson mousse-mussed, but genuinely dishabille. I miss the days when they could even be -- maybe we should whisper this -- bald. I admit that I have something of a personal stake in this. I'm a follically challenged male, and perhaps I speak for others who are losing their hair when I say that it wouldn't be such a terrible thing if we were represented a little more often on screen, »

Nicolas Cage Was Stalked By A White-faced Stranger
12 November 2009 5:19 AM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The ‘Bangkok Dangerous’ actor joked about his ordeal at the hands of a “silent but maybe deadly” performer but admitted he found the white-faced stranger “unsettling”. Nicolas, 45, said: “I guess it would fall into the stalker category more or less. "I was being stalked by a mime—silent, but maybe deadly. Somehow, this mime would appear on the set of ‘Bringing Out the Dead’ and start doing strange things. "I have no idea how it got past security. Finally, the producers took some action and I haven't seen the mime since. But it was definitely unsettling." A mime artist performs wordlessly, expressing stories through bodily movement alone, and traditionally paints their face white. Meanwhile the actor – who is presently facing financial difficulties after being handed an unpaid tax bill of $6 million – has also told of the challenge he faced in portraying a drug-addicted corrupt policeman in ‘Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans »

See A Little 'Kick-Ass' In This Teaser Trailer
11 November 2009 6:03 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
The teaser trailer for Kick-Ass has arrived! Having been subjected to so much hype by everyone luckier than me at ComicCon, it's a bit of a let down because there's just not much ass-kicking going on. It's basically an animated version of the poster, introducing you to the characters while showing a little more blood and smacks. But hey, this is just the beginning and I don't expect them to spill all the cool stuff in the first glimpse.
I do like what I see, though. On the surface it looks like a teenage Watchmen but with a lot of emphasis on how fun it is to be a vigilante. There's no awkward geek humor on display. The characters are young comic book fans, but we aren't subjected to any "Ow, it hurts to be an action hero" moments. Instead, it's all about the action and potential for violence. Kick-Ass is confident! »

Palisades Tartan’s Asian Horror: Essential Collection Review
30 October 2009 3:34 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Just in time for Halloween, Palisades Tartan has grouped together three of the most successful Asian horror films of recent years in one region 2 DVD collection. Although terms such as ‘essential’ are woefully overused when it comes to such compilations, in this case it certainly rings true, as the three titles are arguably among the most important and influential examples of the modern Asian genre – not least since two of them have been the subject of markedly less successful Hollywood remakes. The films in question, “Audition”, “Dark Water” and “The Eye” also provide a showcase for three highly acclaimed directors in the ever prolific Takashi Miike (still best known in the West for his infamous “Ichi the Killer”), The Pang Brothers (who recently headed for the Us themselves with “The Messengers” and a remake of their own “Bangkok Dangerous”) and Hideo Nakata, whose “Ringu” launched the new wave of Eastern horror. »

Does Nic Cage have the kavorka?
28 October 2009 11:40 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Nicolas Cage sometimes gets a bad rap. Yes, he's an Oscar winner, but his eclectic taste in movies has often drawn criticism, most famously from Sean Penn, who once accused Cage of s-tting on their profession. Say what you want about The Wicker Man or Bangkok Dangerous, but Cage is either the savviest or most fortuitous operator in Hollywood when it comes to his female costars. Yesterday's announcement that Mad Men's January Jones will costar opposite Cage in The Hungry Rabbit Jumps was only the most recent example.

New Trailer For ‘Bad Lieutenant’ With Nicolas Cage
9 October 2009 8:15 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Not many people are fans of Nicolas Cage. It could be that his hair is a bird, or that he has been known for many poor film choices like Wicker Man, Next, Knowing, Bangkok Dangerous, World Trade Center or Ghost Rider. The trailer for his newest film, however, doesn’t look half bad — even if it is a remake.
Bad Lieutenant is a remake of the 1992 film starring Harvey Keitel about a cop who walks the line of moral and amoral, drinking and gambling along the way. The idea may feel a bit beaten to death for anybody who watched all 6 seasons of FX’s The Shield, but director Werner Herzog is pushing through regardless.
The script was adapted (or copy-and-pasted) by a veteran of the world of police drama, William Finkelstein, who’s writing credits date all the way back to 1990 with Cop Rock. This remake also changes the »

Trailer: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
8 October 2009 8:24 PM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Every so often in Nicolas Cage’s career comes a film that reminds you why he’s so prevalent these days, in crappy films like Bangkok Dangerous and Ghost Rider. A film that hearkens back to Raising Arizona, or even something silly and entertaining like Face/Off. Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans could be that film.
This trailer displays just the right dose of good direction, interesting ideas, and over the top (good over the top) Nicolas Cage. It’s enough to get me excited for the film’s release, which is currently unscheduled.
It also gives a glimpse at performances by Val Kilmer and Xzibit. What a pair!
Keep your fingers crossed that we actually have a good Nicolas Cage performance on our hands. As much as I love to slam the guy, I’d be eager to see him prove me wrong. View the trailer below. »

'Final Destination' Clings to Labor Day Lead
7 September 2009 9:35 AM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
With the usual smattering of modest Labor Day releases, Summer 2009 came to a quiet close. While overall business was up 43 percent from the corresponding (non-holiday) timeframe last year, this Labor Day weekend was one of the least-attended in over a decade. Falling 55 percent (comparing Friday-Sunday periods) but still leading the weekend, The Final Destination pulled in an estimated $15.4 million over the four-day weekend, lifting its total to $50.6 million in ten days. The horror sequel had a steeper drop than its predecessors as well as My Bloody Valentine 3-D from earlier this year. Nonetheless, it surpassed the final gross of Final Destination 2 and will soon top the other Final Destination movies, though it has a ways to go in terms of attendance. Featuring Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper hot off the successes of The Proposal and The Hangover, respectively, All About Steve bagged an estimated $13.9 million four-day opening on approximately 2,300 screens at 2,251 sites. »

Casting News: Channing Tatum to Star in 'The Darkness'
29 August 2009 10:26 AM, PDT | Channing Tatum Unwrapped | See recent Channing Tatum Unwrapped news »
Channing Tatum has a ton of potential projects in the works, and the horror film site Bloody Disgusting just reported some casting news on a new one. I read this particular news item when they first posted it on July 28th, but wanted to confirm it before I reported it to you all.
I have now confirmed that Chan has indeed signed on to star in 'The Darkness', the latest film from The Pang Brothers Danny Pang Fat and Oxide Pang Chun who directed the Asian and English remakes of 'The Eye' and 'Bangkok Dangerous'. Like Chan's current movie, 'G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra', the film will also be based on a comic book adaption.
"The Darkness" comic series was created by Marc Silvestri, Garth Ennis and David Wohl, under the Top Cow Productions banner. Ironically, Top Cow is the same comic book company that's »

Channing Tatum in for The Darkness, Out of Mafia Flick
11 August 2009 6:34 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Model-turned-actor Channing Tatum has not impressed me much in the few movies I have seen him in. Most recently, his performance as Duke in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was almost universally panned, but it's hard to judge an actor's true potential in a movie where the script is terrible and the focus is entirely on action and special effects. I know he has had a few dramatic roles in films like A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints and Stop-Loss, but I think most of his stock in Hollywood currently comes from starring roles in the dance flicks She's The Man and Step Up. Bloody Disgusting [1] reports that Tatum has signed on to star in The Darkness, the latest film from The Pang Brothers (The Eye, Bangkok Dangerous). Based on the comic book by Marc Silvestri, Garth Ennis, and David Wohl, he will play Jackie, a hitman for a New York mob family, »
