Grand Isle (feat. Nicolas Cage)

I think we can all agree that Nicolas Cage is known for his mass of bad movies. Grand Isle is kind of bad, but how bad? I could pick which of his other movies is most similar and decide which I liked better. But is that fair? Do I give this movie points for having Kelsey Grammer (in a minor role), using a Louisiana accent? I guess the film gets a few points for that. It's one of Cage's bad movies, and everyone gets to do whatever they want. It's like an audition with a payday.

Grand Isle is about a young veteran who gets caught in a hurricane while, hard up for cash, fixing a fence for an old (alcoholic) veteran, played by Cage. The old veteran's wife owns their old Louisiana house, and she has a bunch of voodoo stuff. There's a good deal of infidelity and murdurous plots between the couple, but none of those things are as bad as their dark secret.

So you keep watching to figure out what that dark secret is. But in Grand Isle, everything goes to hell.
