Review of Moonstruck (1987) by Antony M — 30 Jul 2010
(1987 Director: Norman Jewison) Surely you HAVE SEEN THIS NICOLAS CAGE MOVIE? If not give yourself a treat & see this one!
Hopelessly romantic tale of love.....great ironic story....The full moon seems to play an important tale in this sometimes funny, sometimes bittersweet tale.
NOW, AGAIN, in honor of NICOLAS CAGE WEEK....let's play some Nicolas Cage trivia...
What Nicolas Cage movie involves a phobic con artist and his protege who are on the verge of pulling off a lucrative swindle when the con artist's teenage daughter arrives unexpectedly?
Which historically significant movie unearths an amazing find--trioculars used by Benjamin Franklin?
***JUST TO CLEAR UP MY EARLIER ERROR: Fast Times at Ridgemont High is Nicolas Cage's film debut (even though I swear I heard him himself state it was MOONSTRUCK on Actor's Studio). Wikipedia clearly credits him in 1982 as one of several young up and coming actors--in THEIR FIRST ROLES--in Fast TImes at Ridgemont High. Of course you COULD count his earlier appearance as an extra in Brubaker, but I'm not.
Cage co-starred at Brad (Judge Reinhold's)'s buddy AND ALSO IS CREDITED AS as Nicolas Coppola. I recall Nicolas Cage commenting in Actor's Studio that he wanted to hide his family tie to Francis Ford Coppola.***.
