Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (Page 5 of 6)

Made Bland Hack's Top Ten and Huffington Post's

Made The Oregonian's Top Ten

Film Babble: Cage's outrageously off kilter performance fills the screen with kinetic energy that wonderfully erases the horrible memories of such dreck as the NATIONAL TREASURE movies and the other crappy commercial fare that has plagued his career of late. It's a gutsy gripping piece of acting that made me giggle throughout

Slackerwood: My goodness. I hardly know where to begin. Werner Herzog took me on the strangest trip, with Nicolas Cage as my erratic, no, insane tour guide, and I still feel exhausted and weirdly exhilarated every time I think about it.

Hey, ultradamno... This is going to sound so pathetic, coming from me, but a sincere THANK YOU for doing what you're doing here. You're absolutely fantastic. I'm really sorry I'm not doing more on this site than I am, but I really don't have the time anymore to keep updating myself, and this site, of the latest happenings. And don't even get me started on the amount of material you dig up. It's just unbelievable.

So again, fantastic work keeping this place alive. It would have gone down the tubes years ago if it hadn't been for you.

More on topic: fairuza looks awesome in the interviews. I'm so glad to see she's still as passionate and into-it as he used to be. Last I saw of her was Humboldt County, and I'm looking forward to seeing her in this movie (which might even have a decent chance to reach the theaters here - go fairuza on the silver screen!).

Thank you both. It's my pleasure. And major thanks for whatever came along with the new format that has evidently dramatically cut down on the number of obvious spammer registrations. Things are now so much less sisyphean. ;D
