So it doesn't appear that he actually breaks out of hell.<br /><br />I think the whole problem is that when I heard the words "break out of hell" in the preview I foolishly assumed there would be an opening stanza where Nicolas Cage escaped from hell in the same manner as Eastwood escpaing from Alcatraz. Alas, it was not to be. It would probably would have been best to let me do a rewrite.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-31845759673040134192011-03-08T15:33:44.339-06:002011-03-08T15:33:44.339-06:00But didn't Nicolas Cage already break out of h...But didn't Nicolas Cage already break out of hell in Ghost Rider?Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15973553608686822743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-55810915217779396402011-03-08T13:42:28.850-06:002011-03-08T13:42:28.850-06:00There are really only a few moments where she look...There are really only a few moments where she looks like Naomi Watts and the lighting and the framing have to be just right but when it happens - specifically a couple times near the end - it seemed uncanny to me.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-87599967630996396882011-03-08T13:09:09.350-06:002011-03-08T13:09:09.350-06:00Great read.
Jacob, I'd say that the G.I. Joe ...Great read.<br /><br />Jacob, I'd say that the G.I. Joe movie is its own kind of badness. In a way, G.I. Joe made me sadder than I think Drive Angry would make me sad. While Drive Angry is, I'm sure, aggressively bad, G.I. Joe was just empty and pointless. <br /><br />You say that Amber Heard looks like Naomi Watts -- I don't necessarily get that, but then, I haven't seen this movie. The reason this interests me is that I am always comparing the physical appearance of Amber Heard to two other actresses: Theresa Palmer (Take Me Home Tonight) and Kristen Stewart.Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-50876881059480587562011-03-08T10:36:41.987-06:002011-03-08T10:36:41.987-06:00I think I made myself quite clear in the opening p...I think I made myself quite clear in the opening paragraph. Let me capitalize for you.<br /><br />NICOLAS CAGE BROKE OUT OF HELL.<br /><br />That's why I saw this movie. That, and that alone. And yes, I should have known better. But seriously...<br /><br />NICOLAS CAGE BROKE OUT OF HELL.<br /><br />I was powerless to resist. If we could just get a movie where Sienna Miller breaks out of hell. And drinks scotch while she does it.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-54593328204123791872011-03-08T10:20:54.070-06:002011-03-08T10:20:54.070-06:00Just to clarify.

If you are going to see trashy action flicks you might as well see the ones that totally exploit your childhood. I mean a movie based on a movie based on a cartoon based on a toy. That's where you draw the line?Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15973553608686822743noreply@blogger.com
