So really Nick Cage actually managed to not ruin the movie? ;) I do want 
to see it at some point.

Richard Kelly(Donnie Darko) was originally attached to this which is 
what peaked my interest in it. Apparently he then became not involved 
and went on to make The Box which is supposed to be similar to Knowing.

Speaking of Kelly, I watched Southland Tales, and while most seem to not 
like the movie I actually kind of do. On the "this movie is freaking 
weird as hell and it has The Rock in it and that makes it even weirder" tip.
