Nicholas Cage
Posted December 28th, 2008 by trentFirst off I’ll admit I’m not particularly a huge fan of Mr. Cage. I do, however commend him for his performances in many films such as Face/Off, Con Air, Gone in 60 Seconds, National Treasure (eh..) and even Lord of War (Mostly because I support Jared Leto in both his musical and acting endeavors). But for the majority of his career he has been unfortunately typecasted time and time again.
A film sadly unfamiliar to many, Raising Arizona, is in my humble opinion, his best appearance to date. Filmed in 1987, Raising Arizona was one of Cage’s first lead roles, and by far his most impressive. And yes, it is a Coen brothers film so I’m partial its creators, but if you consider yourself a movie connoisseur you need to stop reading blogs and add this movie to your Netflix queue asap.

lol! i’ve seen raising arizona, and it’s one of my husband’s favorite movies. it is indeed very funny. (you remember me right? logan’s sister) and i LOVE thirty seconds to mars!! i’ve never met anyone else (besides my husband, who i forced to listen to them) who’s ever even heard of jared leto! nice to know i’m not alone. did you know he’s been quoted to say that he has done nothing to date that he’s proud of. that was a couple of years ago, but still…

I maintain Gone In 60 Seconds was his best work.
