10. Nicolas Cage
Last Great Movie:Kick-Ass (2010) I've finally come full circle with Nicolas Cage, in the sense that he used to bug the hell out of me ("how did this guy become an actor?"), and now I'm all like: "Must watch Nicolas Cage go insane in everything." Still, that doesn't mean I'm right, nor does it mean that Cage is the one true God that so many movie fans make him out to be nowadays. Fact is, the man has been coasting for a long, long time (he's in a lot of debt), and I think he seriously needs to think about doing a movie where it's required that he, you know, do some
acting.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Season of the Witch. Trespass. Seeking Justice. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Stolen. Those aren't just a bunch of "bad" Nicolas Cage movies that I've plucked out at random: those are the last 7 films, in order, that the actor has made. The fact that he's Nicolas Cage and will probably work for a relatively low amount (debt!) means he can keep working, but for any other actor this run of horrors would have ended a career. I long to see Cage dedicated to his craft again, like he was in the late '90s: acting for the
right reasons.
