www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2165550105/New trailer for Nic Cage's version of "Left Behind" is out. Personally, I think it looks decent. I'll give anything with Nic Cage in it, a chance. I enjoyed the first few books, up through when the anti-christ becomes a main character, then they lost me about the 5th book, I think. Just got disinterested in seeing it through. However, Nicholae (the anti-christ) is an incredibly interesting character, and I'd love to see him portrayed in the series by a real talent (Frank Underwood, but more devilishly handsome, with a sprinkle of Pacino in Devil's Advocate in there) "Heaven Is For Real" and "God's Not Dead" this year have really proven that there's still a very strong market for feel good/faith-based films, and I'm alright with that. Not everything has to be dark, and dreary and depressing. I enjoy going to a movie once in a while just to get a happy ending. So -- we'll see where they get with this.

The poster was so lame, I thought it was a fake movie.

Never read the books but that trailer was awesome. I can't wait to see it.

I'm not a Nic Cage fan and generally avoid his movies but this does interest me.

Will this be a remake of the Kirk Cameron one? IIRC there was even a sequel to it....
VPV

Oh wow that looks awful. The amount of subpar everything involved is fantastic though. Chad Michael Murray is still a name? Nic Cage has become such a meme that this movie is sold on that alone. The director is a stunt coordinator and sometimes a second unit director. Everything about this is just...ok at best.

If someone asked me to make the most ridiculous movie I could, a Left Behind reboot starring Nic Cage would have to be near the top of the list.

It can't be any worse than Ghost Rider 2

Just got home from seeing this. Don't know if anyone else has. Made back about half it's budget after the first weekend (which isn't the failure they're calling it, by the numbers)
It was actually pretty decent. No over the top Nic Cage, here. Just quality acting between he, and Murray.
The acting overall, was good. They could use a different filmmaker for any future films, it had a bit of a 'made for tv' look to it, at times, but -- I enjoyed it.
I think it's the quality start to a decent franchise if they run with it. I'd definitely catch the sequels in theaters.

There's really not much reason for anybody to see this movie. The box office seems to agree.

This is one of his better performances in recent years. They love to give it to people who have already won an Oscar so I highly doubt anyone else is going to beat him for 'Worst Actor'. Maybe he will be a good sport like Halle and Sandra and accept it in person.  |
