G’day, mate. Grab a slab, throw some shrimp on the Barbie, and be prepared to have a ripper of a time with these Ozploitation classics!
Nicolas Cage has made a career out of interesting film choices. Just as fascinating are the films that never came to be.
In 1984 a baby-faced Nicolas Cage paired with a baby-faced Matthew Modine to star in Alan Parker’s highly underrated ‘Birdy.’
Nicolas Cage channels his nurturing parental side and releases some rage on his kids in Mom and Dad, the newest film from director Brian Taylor.
In 1992 Nicolas Cage went to Vegas for the first time. Back then things were goofier and light-hearted.
Christmas and Green Acres go hand-in-hand, don’t they?
In 2003, Nicolas Cage made a movie with Ridley Scott. That movie is called Matchstick Men, and it co-stars Sam Rockwell and Alison Lohman. It’s very, very good.
In Canada, the genre films are as odd and quirky as a kerfuffle between a moose and reindeer.
Nicolas Cage voices a cyber-intelligent star-nosed mole in the family action-adventure G-Force. Naturally, he’s perfect in the role.
