Summary: 4 Stars
I have been a fan of Science Fiction for decades, especially movies dealing with time travel, and yet somehow this one slipped by me. This movie may not be steeped in SciFi, but I can name you many other movies that were excellent that used a SciFi premise and did not have many special effects or scientific jargon to bolster the story. Now when I caught a few minutes of this on TV when I hit the sack late last night I truly could tell from a few minutes of it that it was something I really wanted to see and if I wasn't so tired I would have seen all the last half. Jonathan Silverman I have always enjoyed in what few movies I have seen him in to date.
Everyone of course has seen "Weekend at Bernie's" since it is a riot. Silverman's role here is a bit more mature, but nonetheless he pulls off some great comedy just because his timing and delivery are flawless. Even though I have only seen a few minutes of this I am ordering it today. For this price there is no way I am passing up what I am sure is a great movie for such a low price. Once I see the whole thing I will add to this review. After seeing the whole movie, in a nutshell I saw that he was in a timeloop where a pretty girl he likes is shot dead. Each day he tries to figure out a way to stop it from happening without being carted off in a straight-jacket. If you enjoyed this, catch "Timerider". Another romantic comedy time travel movie with a good cast that didn't get recognition it deserved. Good quality DVD with no extras. Decent replayability. - C. Luster
Movie Review: One of my Favorite Movies
Summary: 4 Stars
I was delighted to find this movie on DVD several months ago.
Whenever I loan my copy to a friend or relative, I describe it as being similar to Groundhog Day, except in a dramatic vein, and warn them that the first 10-15 minutes seem a little slow as they introduce the characters, the setting, etc, but that the story becomes more engrossing as it develops. They generally return it later and comment that the story was much better than they expected.
I believe that most people will have a similar reaction. It has a good mix of humor, sci-fi, romance and drama to please everybody. It is also a good movie to have on-hand for group viewing because it is not a movie that everyone has already seen and it doesn't contain any language or situations that would be potentially embarassing.
Movie Review: Memorable
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie when it aired on Fox -- once -- 13 years ago. And I always remembered it.
I'm not a fan of scifi (despite all the Quantum Leap on my shelf), I hate time travel. But this movie -- I loved how the main character started off as a loser and just kept getting better every time the day repeated.
There aren't really a lot of movies I saw once and remembered forever. The last time I went looking for info on it, I saw it was out on DVD and actually bought it. I think it's the only movie I've ever bought that didn't have Scott Bakula in it. (I lie -- I also bought Crazy People. very funny and also a great love story).
Years after this, I tried watching Groundhog Day, but it bored me and I never finished it. This movie is heartwarming.
Movie Review: It's fun to watch -- over and over again!
Summary: 4 Stars
12:01 is a movie not to be missed. It has all the elements of an exciting science fiction story, with enough comedy and romance to make it enjoyable for the entire family.
If the plot about a loop in time seems amazingly like Groundhog Day, you'll be even more amazed to know that this story came first -- published in the early 70's. 12:01, however, is a good deal heavier on the cloak-and-dagger atmosphere, with a little of The Office thrown in for good measure. The personnel manager is hatefully hysterical!
It's also fun to watch Martin Landau once again in a "Mission Impossible" kind of role.
Love it!
