Movie Reviews of Time Code
Movie Review: Blah
Summary: 2 Stars
When I rented this, I was under the impression it was a good movie. Well, I was wrong. True, the four-screen idea is innovative and couldn't have been easy to do, so I'll give Mike Figgis credit for that. In addition, the movie was shot in continuous takes, so the actors involved have proved that they have the chops to pull off something like this. And in case you're wondering if you can follow four stories at once, the volume is usually muted for three of the screens, so it's obvious which one you're really supposed to focus on at any given time. On the minus side, any time actors are given the chance to improvise their dialogue, the viewer learns anew that we really do need screenwriters, and this movie is no exception. Most importantly, this movie doesn't have ANY interestng stories or characters. Movies need those things! So, if you're interested in the techniques Figgis used, by all means check this out. But don't expect to be entertained.Movie Review: Clever...but boring.

This is the kid of movie that critics love because its something different. (Movie within a movie, etc.) Even though its mostly improvised there is something totally unreal about it all. The women are too beautiful, the lesbian stuff doesn't wash and the gun business is just phony. If you want to see a brilliant example of different stories colliding in an exciting way see GO.Movie Review: Quite possibly the most irritating movie ever made.

Sure, it's very innovative: 4 screens all at once, no editing, and one take. Unfortunately, not all original ideas should see the light of day. This movie has basically no story, it is just a 90 minute long take of 4 different cameras. THAT'S ALL. There is not a compelling enough storyline to keep a sane viewer engaged. Thankfully the volume is brought up on the important shot that the director wants us to watch, but that doesn't save this mess. I don't understand what people see in this movie besides it's originality. Just because an idea is new, does not mean it's a good one.This is just one big mess, and one of the most ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING MOVIES I'VE EVER SEEN.
Movie Review: Piece of crap
Summary: 1 Stars
Of all the thousands of movies I've watched over the years, this is by far the worst piece of crap I have ever seen. Almost impossible to watch without getting nausea. I watched it for about 5 minutes, fast forwarded for awhile to see if it got any better - then immmediately in the trash - I would not feel right selling it to anyone else.Movie Review: FALL ASLEEP or GET A HEADACHE
Summary: 1 Stars
A little hype for nothing. Many of the lines in this movie are directly taken from other groundbreaking artists -- most obviously Chekhov -- regarding new artistic forms. While the attempt at artistic form was made...the story really lacks anything worthwhile. Enter the world of Figgis and you'll need some heavy duty aspirin.
