The Weather Man

Is it just me or does Nicolas Cage's characters all seem the same? And why does he always narrarate in his movies? These questions are yet to be answered, but still came to my mind while I viewed The Weather Man. Nicolas Cage plays David Spritz, the town weatherman. Of course, people shit all over him just because he reads off of a prompter. But, he's gotten used to it (sort of). His ex-wife is also set to marry a guy who he hates the shit out of, tries to spend more time with his kids (especially his daughter), talks to his loving father (played greatly by one of the bests in teh business Michael Caine), and says fuck a lot. But, I feel I've seen this before. It's pretty much the same plot to most of Nicolas Cage's films (except with a different character and territory). It's not all too bad, but does effect the film. And, the director seemed to love the scenery more than the characters. He was more and less focusing the camera on the icy waters or icy targets. It does pass well for a drama, especially because of the "didn't see it coming" ending. But, it's just like Nic Cage's other films basically.

2 and a half stars out of 5

Which is better, that or Lord of War? The both look good, which should I pick up first, in your opinion, providing you've seen LoW.

I've seen Lord or War, but I liked The Weather Man slightly better. I was disappointed with LoW, which recieved 2 out of 5 stars from me (not sure if I wrote a review for it in this thread).

No.

Because it's in the script.


Anyway, I just watched Good Will Hunting.
