I made this just this morning. There are a total of 3 video clips used in this movie, which Brian filmed while we were watching Bolt last June. It was totally spontaneous and we weren’t even sure the camera was saving! We used a regular old Olympus digital camera and Windows Movie Maker, so I apologize in advance for the shoddy video quality, camera work, and editing; but the dialogue fits pretty well. Anyway, I hope you like it.

I was thinking I’d stop writing reviews because I don’t usually write serious, thoughtful, critical ones. But this is my blog and I don’t take such things seriously so I’m going to do whatever the fuck I want.

Romance movies SO do not appeal to me. I might watch a romantic comedy, but full out romantic movies just aren’t my thing. But when I saw the trailer for The Time Traveler’s Wife, the premise really intrigued me. Imagine being married to someone who travels through time but can’t control when it happens. What a pain in the ass. Would you be able to stay with that person? Anyway, the science-fiction-y part is what really interested me.

Still, I was apprehensive so I was really surprised that I thought the movie was absolutely AMAZING. Granted, I’m also a sucker for movies set in Chicago, even bad ones (Touch and Go), though I’m told much of Time Traveler was filmed in Toronto. Still, there’s enough of Chicago there for me to love, including a very authentic-looking Marshall Field’s bag in a scene that takes place before Satan Macy’s bought them out. My minor quibble is in another scene set in the 70s, in which the el car is clearly not one from that time period, as pictured here. But probably only someone like me would notice things like that.

Also, the costumer had Rachel McAdams, who I’ve loved since I saw Mean Girls all of 5 weeks ago (I know, I know), dressed in old lady-ish sweaters. WTF? BTW, Gomez is played by Ron Livingston, better known as Peter, the hero of the classic movie, Office Space. (Ironically, one of the main characters in Office Space is also a main character in Touch and Go. Go figure.)

I’m not sure why the movie is called The Time Traveler’s Wife, when it was more about Henry, the time traveler, rather than his wife — more about their relationship, even. Still, it was a really neat tale. Even BRIAN liked the movie! I can’t wait to read the book.

It was really frickin’ awesome. You have to go see it! Enough said.

…is the ultimate Bourne. Unfortunately, this is the last, the ultimate Bourne movie that, at this point, anyway, Matt Damon plans to make. According to an interview with Rebecca Murray at About.com, Damon is quoted as basically saying that in this movie, Bourne finally figures out his identity, so what would they do in a fourth movie: “Actually, I was talking to a journalist yesterday who suggested that we could do [a] fourth one about Bourne losing his keys. And we could do for the entire movie,
