'Of course it stars Nicolas Cage. Is there another actor who could or would have dared to sign on? Cage is a good actor in good movies, and an almost indispensable actor in bad ones. He can go over the top so effortlessly he rests up and makes lemonade for everybody.'
'Nic Cage plays a guy here who, if he was a girl, Nic Cage would be afraid of.'
hmmm...interesting review form Ebert, kind of lukewarm. Doesn't sound like this kind of movie is his cup of tea! like the quote you picked out Lady True. especially the bit about the lemonade the second quote doesnt make sense to me particularly! someone explain it to my Lula brain?
I should have included the previous line with that quote.
'You've heard of girls attracted to the wrong kinds of guys?Nic Cage plays a guy here who, if he was a girl, Nic Cage would be afraid of.'
I think he means Nic is so scary as Milton even a girl Nic, who would be a pretty tough chick, would be scared of him, therefore Piper should have been terrified!
Ebert usually praises everythng Nic does, but he didin't take a liking to Drive Angry or Kick- Ass. The year is still young yet and two indie films will do Nicolas the trick later in the year.
