Nicolas Cage has descended so far into self-parody these days that he is arguably more meme than man. Once lauded as one of the finest acting talents of his generation, that reputation has long been buried under a constant stream of cinematic garbage.

On his day, the 53 year-old is still capable of reminding audiences of his natural gifts with a great performance, it just happens on an increasingly rare basis given his penchant for OTT histrionics instead.

Taking every offer that comes his way after financial troubles reduced his net worth to 'only' $25m, the Nouveau Shamanic thespian has seven movies set for release this year alone, and is a regular staple of straight-to-video actioners. The likes of Bad Lieutenant and Joe have proven Cage can still deliver a fantastic turn when the occasion calls for it, he just needs to learn to say 'no' every now and again and stop coasting on autopilot before he completely tarnishes his legacy forever.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
