Funny CNN review of the movie NEXT with Nicolas Cage

story.next
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."

The Hoover family is undeniably dysfunctional: Pop is an aspiring motivational guru, Mom's so perpetually distracted that dinner is invariably KFC, Grandpa is a heroin addict, Uncle Frank's a suicidal Proust scholar, son Dwayne is a sullen wannabe jet pilot with a passion for Nietzsche. And here they all are, in a rickety VW Camper, hurtling toward a beauty pageant that little Olive has her seven-year-old heart set upon winning. The problem is brown-haired, baby-fatted and bespectacled Olive (the exceptional Abigail Breslin), is not your typical Little Miss Sunshine contestant. A kind-hearted and thoroughly amusing rumination on modern America, the beckoning of the open road, and of course, little girls' tiaras. Read More...
