Paul Rae Movies
Somewhere between John Goodman and Robert Loggia -- at least on a physical scale -- there exists portly screen presence Paul Rae. A consistently reliable supporting player whose undeniable onscreen charisma has made him equally popular on film and television, Rae has appeared on the silver screen in such films as Coach Carter, Next, and Daddy Day Camp, and on the small screen in such shows as Desperate Housewives, The West Wing, and The Closer. Despite the fact that Rae has only been active in the entertainment industry since 2003, he has racked up an impressive list of credits while working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, and proven himself equally adept at all genres. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A man with the ability to see the future and change the outcome of events before they occur is forced to choose between saving himself and saving the world in this supernatural thriller starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day, The Edge). Cris Johnson (Cage) is a Las Vegas magician who possesses the unique ability to witness the events of the immediate future moments before they happen. As a child Cris was subjected to a series of cruel experiments by government scientists and doctors, but a change of name and a new identity allowed the tortured psychic to elude detection and start a new life away from the prying eyes of his former captors. Though his clairvoyant vision only extends a few minutes into the future, it has still allowed Cris to eke out a living as a low-rent Las Vegas magician while earning a little extra cash at the blackjack tables. Up to this point in his life Cris has never used his power for anything substantial, but when he experiences a vision of Los Angeles being incinerated in a nuclear holocaust, the small-time magician realizes that he could hold the key to saving millions of lives. But as low as he has tried to lie in recent years, Cris has never completely escaped detection by the government. Now, as terrorists prepare to unleash the ultimate horror on an unsuspecting city, FBI counter terror agent Callie Ferris (Julianne Moore) sets out to capture Cris and convince him to use his exceptional gift to prevent the nuclear nightmare from becoming a terrifying reality. Jessica Biel, Peter Falk, and Thomas Kretschmann co-star in the film, which is based on a short story by acclaimed sci-fi author Philip K. Dick. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
