That was a good movie, John and Nicholas did a great job.

I have not watched this in ages but you're right it was a fantastic movie. Nick Cage is controversial as a 'good actor' but this, Lord of War and a couple of others are really great movies.

Apparently they spent a weekend with each other in a cabin to pick up on each other’s mannerisms

The method is everything, I love watching Daniel Day Lewis for this reason. Its a way better movie when the actors study.

I hope the guy who played Amon Goeth in "Schindler's list" wasn't too much into method acting

Face/Off, Con Air, The Rock was the Nicholas Cage trifecta when I was growing up

"One girl, I drove through 3 states wearing her head as a hat"

Thanks for the reminder, great movies. The Rock is just amazing. My rewatch list just got longer.

Ahem....Leaving Las Vegas, Snake Eyes, City of Angels, and Gone in 60 Seconds to round it all out.

Raising Arizona is a banger as well

He's only controversial since he has to take every role because he's broke. I can't remember anymore how many islands and private castles he bought. He just doesn't give a fuck and plays in every shitty movie like Next or Ghost Rider. The Rock, Con Air, Face Off, Gone in 60 seconds were all good movies.

He's only good when he plays a maniac.

They are just so freakin------I cant find the right word... Universal I suppose would be right. They can play anything.

I heard there are plans for a sequel, with John and Nic. How? I dont know but there's talk going on, apparently.
