I love that comment about Cage as an actor- one of the best insults ever. Brilliant. I went to see it after your review in the Gazette (by the way, it had a perfect 'A' there and here you gave it 3.5 stars?)-- I was pretty much vastly disappointed. The visuals were AWESOME, but every character was nothing more than a cliche. The spooky supernatural kid, the alcoholic depressed widower single father who meets up with the sweet widowed single mother, the wise but wrong concerned best friend... etc. Interesting how you and Roger Ebert both cite Dark City as one of your faves, and then based on metacritic you're the only two I know of who have given Knowing such a rave review. Great to have you at the Gazette though, cheers. Hahaha… I love that comment about Cage as an actor- one of the best insults ever. Brilliant.

I saw "Knowing" tonight expecting it to be one of the worst movies of the year, which a number of critics said. After seeing it I can't fathom why people have been THIS harsh on it, and personally found it very interesting and applauded its ambition.

It makes me want to see this movie now, despite my agreement with your well put assessment about Nicolas Cage. It's too bad a movie as interesting as this couldn't have a different actor assigned.
