Gulf Weekly Total disaster

Total disaster

SOME things in life are best left in the past, never to be revisited, some of my favourite examples include shell suits, Michael Jackson-type glitter gloves, mullets and Nicholas Cage’s acting career. Is there any role in any film that Nicolas Cage won’t take these days? It has been well-publicised that he was swindled by his accountant and lost a fortune, but taking on projects like this to perhaps fund his penchant for flash cars and a big house lowers my estimation of him considerably.
