‘NEXT’ trailer and another Nic Cage hair piece
Really? another time travelling/seeing the future film? really? another terrible looking Nic Cage film… somebody kill me. The trailer for Nic Cage’s new film ‘NEXT’ has arrived online.
I don’t hate Nic Cage, the guy is just a bit twitchy and seems to be a bit delusional about what makes a good film. I love the roles where he’s been reigned in like ‘Raising Arizona’ and ‘Adaptation’ and actually turns in a great performance. Then there’s films like ‘Face Off’ and ‘The Rock’ that are guilty pleasures, and I like the films despite his twitchy acting… then there’s films like ‘NEXT’, ‘Ghost Rider’ and ‘The Wicker Man’ aka…’AHHHH I’M COVERED IN BEEEEESS’ that just look horrible, and I have literally no desire to see them. The thing is if it was someone else in the lead like say Christian Bale I’d probably be quite excited to see it, but you insert twitchmaster Cage, some hammy acting, his blank WTF?!?!?! look he always does and another terrible looking hair piece and there’s no way i’m paying to see this.
What I think obviously doesn’t seem to have any reflection on what the general public think as ‘Ghost Rider’ made $51 million in it’s opening weekend in the US. Once again the marketing dollar rules supreme, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this film makes the same ammount of money opening weekend.
Here’s the plot:
Las Vegas showroom magician Cris Johnson has a secret which torments him: he can see a few minutes into the future. Sick of the examinations he underwent as a child and the interest of the government and medical establishment in his power, he lies low under an assumed name in Vegas, performing cheap tricks and living off small-time gambling “winnings.” But when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, government agent Callie Ferris must use all her wiles to capture Cris and convince him to help her stop the cataclysm.
If for nothing else I would say watch the trailer because of Jessica ‘too hot to live’ Biel and the scene where she’s in bed. I think I just found my happy place.
Check out the trailer on apple here (normal and in HD)
and incase you didn’t see it… the best of the Wicker Man (Man in bear suit punches girl in face, it’s genius))
Key thing to ignore about this one is that it’s based on Phil K Dick’s The Golden Man. One of his best known works.
How bad is that CGI of the boat at the end?
And fuck me, that’s a bad haircut. It’s the same one Hanks had in DaVinci. It’s enough to ruin a movie. Cut it short Nic for fucks sake!!

Really really funny talkback. Love the gag about NEXT.
And the beaver pelt.
I really do wonder who picks Nicholas Cages hair pieces. I guess if we had any balls we would have asked him when we interviewed him, but what can I say hes the Ghost Rider and my soul would be doomed.
