Nicolas Cage — Love Him or Leave Him?

Drive Angry 3D opens this week with a golden-haired Nicolas Cage in the driver's seat as a man seeking revenge (watch the so cheesy you have to see it to believe it trailer).

Drive Angry 3D opens this week with a golden-haired Nicolas Cage in the driver's seat as a man seeking revenge (watch the so cheesy you have to see it to believe it trailer). It's a movie that seems par for the course for Cage, who's earned an awesomely eccentric image in the past few years. He's a great actor, but for every Bad Lieutenant, there's a Ghost Rider. Though he's proven to be someone whose next move you can't anticipate, it's interesting to remember that he's an award season triple threat with a long and diverse resume.

On that note, I'd like to know how you feel about him. Are you into him or is he just not your cup of tea?

Drive Angry 3D Trailer: Nicolas Cage Has Hell to Pay

This trailer is not a joke.

This trailer is not a joke. Or at least, I don't think it is. Perhaps it's the voice-over, Nicolas Cage's cheesy lines ("Hell already is walking the earth"), or the onslaught of explosions, but it's hard to decipher if Drive Angry 3D is going for camp or taking itself seriously. In my mind, I'm already putting it in the same category as Snakes on the Plane. It seems similarly laughable, and the 3D effects will only add to the absurdity.

Cage stars as Milton (quite the nerdy name for someone who's supposed to be badass), a father who's out for revenge on the men who took his baby daughter. William Fichtner (Prison Break) costars as his nemesis, a henchman for the devil and Amber Heard fills the role of requisite hot-bodied female in short-shorts. Oh, and the leader of the cult? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you: it's Billy Burke, AKA Bella Swan's father. Look for him in the trailer when you read more

Comic-Con Brings Out Scarlett, True Blood Stars, Pregnant Ali Larter, and Many More!

There was a whole lot of Comic-Con action going down in San Diego over the weekend.

There was a whole lot of Comic-Con action going down in San Diego over the weekend. True Blood's Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer were there on Friday to talk about their series, including the future of their characters' relationship. They also gave a teaser showing what's still to come this season on their show. Will Ferrell was there on behalf of his The Other Guys with Mark Wahlberg, who opened up to us about playing good cop with his kids. Their costar Eva Mendes also chatted with us about the great time she had being funny with the boys.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were there on Saturday for their Green Lantern panel, and his wife, Scarlett Johansson, later appeared with her Captain America costars like Robert Downey, Jr. Pregnant Ali Larter really showed off her baby bump at a Resident Evil: Afterlife press conference, and Natalie Portman kept the cameos coming while talking about her Thor. Kellan Lutz struck a pose at the Wired Cafe and showed off his new hat, while Scott Pilgrim vs. the World's Anna Kendrick hit up a Syfy channel party that night and Vanessa Hudgens partied with her fellow Sucker Punch actresses. BuzzSugar was there covering all the fun from Southern California, so make sure to check out all the reports from the scene!

The Sorcerer's Apprentice: Magically Awakens the Kid Inside

Disney's latest film,

Disney's latest film, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, has prompted many questions, particularly the one about its inspiration: how would a brief, albeit legendary scene supply enough fodder for an entire feature film? It's a valid concern, and to be honest, the fleshed-out story from the Mickey Mouse/broom sequence in Fantasia is a silly one, but one that kids will be thrilled by.

Ages-old magician Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) has traveled through time to do two things: prevent the world's destruction at the hands of his nemesis Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina) and find the young man who's been chosen as his replacement. The young man is Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a nerdy college student who has a love for physics and his childhood crush, Becky (Teresa Palmer). Once Balthazar finds Dave, the movie explodes into an adventure of breathtaking visual effects.

Nicole Kidman to Play Wifey to Nicolas Cage and Clive Owen

Nicole Kidman is on a very diverse marriage track — on the big screen, I mean.

Nicole Kidman is on a very diverse marriage track — on the big screen, I mean. First, she'll team up with Nicolas Cage in the thriller Trespass, where she and the eccentric actor will play a husband and wife who get kidnapped and taken hostage. Joel Schumacher will direct the action-adventure.

Meanwhile, over on the smaller screen, Kidman will play Martha Gellhorn in Hemingway and Gellhorn, an HBO film about the lives of Hemingway and his wife. Clive Owen is set to portray the legendary writer, while an HBO alum is producing: James Gandolfini.

Besides the marriage angle, the other things these projects have in common is intensity: Trespass has its hostage plotline, while Hemingway and Gellhorn promises to show the famously stormy relationship of Hemingway and fellow novelist Gellhorn. Well, you know what they say: for better or for worse.
