Similar to the director’s wonderfully inventive Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes, River is also about an unusual 2 minute time loop. In this case, it’s a more familiar Groundhog Day type loop with the unique twist that everyone in the … Continue reading
57 Seconds is a wholly unremarkable but fairly watchable sci-fi time loop thriller. It stars Josh Hutcherson (with an assist from Morgan Freeman who wanders in and out of the movie) as a blogger on the tail of a crooked … Continue reading
