As parodic of cop movies as the Metacritic summary makes it sound ("Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs—while playing fast and loose with the law."), Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans has been getting decent reviews across the board. Set in Post Katrina New Orleans, Cage runs a corrupt city while dealing with a tumultuous affair with a prostitute. J.R. Jones at the Chicago Reader says that director Werner Herzog "deserves the lion's share of the credit for the movie's quality, but Port of Call New Orleans is also a comeback for Cage." Bonus points of course for any movie with Xzibit in it.

I want to take his face... off.
You'll have plenty of face to remove. What's up with his hairline?
I'm still picturing Olivia Wilde and tacos...
I wouldn't mind eating her taco.
What did I expect from an Almodóvar movie? Certainly, I didn't expect people who bear more than a striking resemblance to American celebrities and politicians. The blind screenwriter, Harry Caine look an awful lot like Kelsey Grammer. And do you want to guess who the billionaire sugar daddy to Penelope Cruz's character look like. That's right. Our very own Mikey, 3rd Term, Bloomberg. I'm not sure what Pedro was high on when he cast those characters.
"naked Penelope Cruz"
i'm sorry, were there other words written after that? because that's the only review i need.
Bad Lieutenant? Bad Lieutenant? Someone had the nerve enough to name a hipster doofus, appeal to lowest level, modern juvenile writing, corporate construct movie Bad Lieutenant?...I gotta see this one.
Are you referring to the first one?
"Red Cliff"?? I am familiar with some of the actors and they do NOT sound like that. The Chinese in this movie is dubbed to insure everyone has the proper Beijing accent. Everyone ends up sounding the same. I mean in Indian movies, the actors don't sing their own songs. Now in China, the actors don't even speak their own parts. How stupid and lame is that?
