Has anyone else seen that other thinly propaganda film for "horror-zealot" extremist scare tactic evangelism (also starring Nicholas Cage) called KNOWING?
It's kind of a "Rapture-as-apocalyptic-alien-takeover" film. It *really* tried to pass itself off as just another action-adventure-conspiracy-disaster catch all Hollywood blockbuster. Which makes the absurdity of its eventual unmasking as an ultraviolent Old Testament kind of no nonsense smack down all the more disquieting (though still unbelievably hilarious).
What happened to Nicholas Cage? He was in Leaving Las Vegas for Christ's sake! And Raising Arizona. And... probably a few other films that were not completely terrible.
Now he's pushing his *seriously insane* dark ages fire and brimstone shit, stealthily, into the public semi-consciousness. That is, when he's not playing a daredevil motorcyclist who sells his soul to the devil for a mullet made of fire and a prenenially dated but damn sturdy leather jacket...
I will take Tom Cruise's weird but harmless off-screen Scientology over this creepy shit any day. Cage is absolutely trying to recruit motherfuckers here, and I thank God above that nobody watches his movies because they're so bad and he is so bad in them. It's the little things, after all
