Nicolas Cage enjoys shooting family movies

Actor-filmmaker Nicholas Cage says he enjoys shooting family movies that entertain parents as well as their children.

The 49-year-old, who has two sons - seven-year-old Kal-El with wife Alice Kim, and 22-year-old Weston with his ex-lover Christina Fulton - said family films unite parents with their children and they entertain the entire family, reports contactmusic.com.

‘I think it's important to entertain families. It gives families something to do with their children. Where the adults can also be entertained. I enjoyed making The Croods. But I like that ritual, that celebration...that kids are going to a movie and their mother's going to laugh too, and we're going to get popcorn.’

‘There's creativity going into making those movies. I'm not a snob, if you can tell,’ Cage said.
