Captain Corelli's Mandolin was showing on TV a few days ago. There was nothing else on, so I thought I'd give this a try. Nicolas Cage is Nicolas cage. It doesn't matter whether he's a lucky cop in It Could Happen to You, or a two-faced action hero in Face/Off, or a bumbling scientist in The Rock, or a con artist in Matchstick Men. The characters change, but he doesn't. The moment he started talking with that hokey Italian accent, I just tuned out. And no amount of Penelope Cruz (with her Greek accent) can persuade me otherwise.

Captain Corelli's Accent
