Nic has such an awesome range of talents! He can play everything! And, his comedic roles are always outstanding performances! (As all of his other genres does!)

I could watch this movie over and over and still find new things to amaze me, it is really a wonderful movie in so many ways. Without Nic though, it never would have been the same, he is the centre, the focus at all times. I know I posted this before but I like it and it fits here too:
Pauline Kael on Nicolas Cage.
“Usually, when an actor plays a freak you can still spot the feet-on-the-ground professional. Nicolas Cage doesn’t give you that rootedness. He’s up in there in the air, and when you watch him is Raising Arizona or Moonstruck it’s a little dizzying — you’re not quite sure you understand what’s going on. It could be that this kid — he’s only 24— is an actor before he’s a human being… Cage strips himself, he takes flight, he wings it.”
then, the terrible two lay temptation in H'I's path..and ironically he trieds to do the right thing by leaving Ed and Nathan junior...before diaster strikes!
( and ..in writing the leaving note...that is when we find out what the H stands for in H.I )
that is one beautifully accurate quote Lady T..(note partilly to self: we should start a thread on quotes about Nic in the Cage Quote collection area!)
We get to know, that "H" stands for Herbert, but I wonder, what the "I" stands for? Even, if he does write the note, the next morning, he is still here, because he felt asleep.
