"Knowing" sucks

[cwilson3]

Nic Cage is a deplorable actor. I don't know why anyone is surprised about this. You could throw ship at a movie screen and it'd be more enjoyable to watch than almost any Cage film.

Knowing ruled.

That is all.

I was into it until maybe the very end.
And then, The Plot Twist at the end of the movie basically ruined the previous 90 minutes for me.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it ruined it, but I did let out a big "Oh, geez" when that happened. Up till then, I was going along with the flick. I realized it had a lot of holes and wasn't exactly an Oscar winner, but it was reasonably entertaining. Not great, but far from the worst movie I've ever seen. I'm sort of a sucker for those sort of movies, though.

Event Horizon was brilliant.

Sorry to bring this one back around, but I stumbled on it while looking for something else and I just couldn't pash it by.

1. "Knowing" sucked some serious ash. Mainly because it was presented as something completely different, something you'd want to see. Of course, they left the crap about aliens, everyone dying and the stupid little rocks out of every preview. Wasn't necessarily Cage's fault that it sucked so hard, except that he read the script and still agreed to do it.

2. BigPern, while making the case that Cage had a good run for a few years, presented as evidence the film "Windtalkers" -- a movie that sucked so fantastically bad it should've ended the careers of everyone involved. Holy ship, was that one God awful movie. I mean, I'm usually all for "to each his own," but dude, halfway through there was a black-and-white, naval stock video of ships firing off the coast. It was like a student film.

3. As bad as "Windtalkers" was, it was no "Wicker Man." You wanna see complete ship? You got two choices: Cage strolling around in that dumbash bear costume or actual ship.

4. While I'm willing to give Cage somewhat of a pash for some of these movies, since he didn't write this ship, I always return to "Con Air" with his annoying southern accent and the fact that he was a producer on "Wicker Man" and still was running around in a bear costume. No excuse.

Knowing has my vote for worst and most misleading flick of the year. There's nothing in second place.
