I seem to recall doing something else while "watching" Next. Similar to the time I rented Charlie Wilson's War, though that was probably a good movie. That was the same night that Chanatown was born. And look at how it's grown since! DC Well put, T. I seem to recall doing something else while “watching” Next.

This 2007 drama stars Nicholas Cage (with scary and terrible long hair), Julianne Moore (a fabulous actor miscast as a volatile tough-guy cop), and Jessica Biel (hot stuff who is much too young to play Nicholas Cage's lover). The premise was terrible, the dialogue was too cheezy even for a Nicholas Cage movie (and I love cheezy dialogue), and the action sequences felt gratuitous and unsatisfying at the same time. Don't rent it, even if you can rent it for free! “Next” wins my “worst Red Box rental” prize.
