How awesome was it to see Nicholas Cage's 'Knowing' right after watching SPN 4.18? There were the patented Nicholas Cage's special brand of "I'm-so-tortured" scenes of course ( to be rivalled only by Mel Gibson's ) but then there were also the prophet and prophecies that couldn't be unwritten, angels and the chosen children, Chevrolet going up in smokes and an apocalypse to boots!

I've always love Rose Bryne ever since I saw her in Wicker Park ( not so much in Troy though ) so it was good to see her in it. I got a bit annoyed at the end there when her character went hysterical when what happened to her could have been avoided before I remembered that it had been pre-destined, nothing could be changed, but still, there was a moment there when I felt like wringing her neck. The angels were creepy-looking, they looked more like Tolkien's elves than Castiel ( alas none of them was as beautiful as Legolas ). In fact we thought they were aliens initially until we saw the wings. That was gorgeous, the special effects of the children being taken.

Father and son's separation was heart-wrenching, I cried buckets, but I still thought Nicholas Cage was OTT, but then when was he wasn't?

Overall an enjoyable movie!
