There are few things that make me as happy recently as the second coming of Nicholas Cage.
The man was once a movie god and then he fell from grace, landing in the hell of direct-to-video movies but in recent years he’s returned making one gem after another – i mean, yeah they’re mostly insane rides, but that’s always where Cage has excelled and it’s where he’s having a ball for this new movie, Sympathy for the Devil.
Not a single piece of scenery is safe as he chews his way through the role of ‘the passenger’ who is making the life Joel Kinnaman’s ‘the driver’ an absolute hell. Is he the devil? Hard to know but honestly, when Cage is having this much fun, I’m along for the ride no matter what.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
