Season of the Witch

Is there a correlation between Nicholas Cage, his money problems and the quality of his movies. He's a great, yet very desperate, actor.

Honestly, there isn't really much good to say about this movie. In whole it seems like they took several movies and stitched them together to put out some medieval-action-mystery-horror-flick, using low-budget style fx, bad cgi and a rather clumsy story, topped by some nasty goofs and plot holes so big you can drive the Nimitz through. Want an example? In the beginning they sail to the coast of Styria - guess what? Yes, Styria never had (and still hasn't) a coastline at all since Austria is a landlocked country. The whole movie gives one the impression that they worked over this so often that in the end, nobody could remember what it was about and they simply decided to give it a quick end (which is really a b-movie style ending with the overdone standard cgi fx you can see in nearly every b-rated horror movie) to get it over with. If you're into decent medieval mystery stuff or medieval action, stick with The Name of the Rose or Kingdom of Heavens if you must. ;)
