Funny CNN review of the
movie NEXT with Nicolas Cage

I don't know who writer Tom Charity is, but he wrote
a funny and honest review of the new Nicolas Cage
time twisting action flick "Next"
click the pic to read the full review, here are two
blurbs that made me laugh out loud:
"Nicolas Cage is Frank Cadillac -- but only for five
minutes. Tragically, he jettisons this fine and
fitting stage name in favor of the eminently
forgettable Cris Johnson, thereby signaling that this
will be a relatively subdued Cage performance."
and
"Precious little of this has anything to do with
Philip K. Dick's short story "The Golden Man," the
film's alleged source material, and if the marketing
men want to claim that connection then they had best
be prepared for unfavorable "Paycheck" comparisons.
(Could this be the worst Dick adaptation yet?
Unconvincing CGI effects, crummy story, lousy
performances ... it's got to be a contender.)"
