Madden - starring Nicolas Cage

Since I never really followed sports, I must be out of the loop.
I mean, I understand he was popular, possibly even beloved to some,...

Re: Madden - starring Nicolas Cage

They might have done better casting impressionist Frank Caliendo (of MAD TV).
He not only could do a spot on impression of Madden's voice, but also had a similar body type.

And yet... (I don't know if it's still true, but...) years ago I read that Tyler Perry was either the highest paid man in Hollywood or the richest (can't remember which, but he was some kind of...

Re: How many Tyler Perry movies have you watched?

I don't think it's possible for anyone to watch "everything". (Even if you're only counting just movies as everything.)

You have to admit that the injured pilot suddenly turning into Ethel Merman and beginning to belt out a song was one of the funniest bits in the whole movie!

It didn't seem like he was in as many movies (or at least as many hit movies) as some of his better-known contemporaries during the 60's - 70's.
