Also caught the sci-fi/time travel movie Synchronicity which is in limited release but I caught on iTunes digital. It’s a twisty sci-fi movie that seems to be confusing itself for Blade Runner for completely unknown reasons. Seriously, a lot of … Continue reading
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 is such an irrelevant, unfunny experience which didn’t make me laugh even once but wasn’t awful or boring enough to generate any scorn. It’s crude so if you like your comedy dumb and blue, you … Continue reading
Went to see the teen time travel flick Project Almanac – a movie that’s been delayed for over a year and went through at least two name changes in the process. Very bad signs for not a bad movie. A … Continue reading

Source Code is the new time travel / virtual reality / alternate dimension flick where Jake Gylenhall must try (many times) to stop a terrorist bombing. Just like the director’s other movie Moon, I thought it was a good flick … Continue reading
