TimeCrimes ***1/2

Ok, so I watched several other new releases this week beside 'Benjamin Button'. 'Last Chance Harvey' was ok but really sad, but then...

I turned on my Netflix instant view player last night and turned on 'TimeCrimes'. It's Spanish for starters, so you will probably need to read. The sound track for me at least, was off for most of the movie, so I just muted and read it. Also, it's considered a sci-fi/fantasy! And I still liked it??

The plot of the movie 'TimeCrimes' deals with time travel. Yes, I hate things that are unreal, but the theory of time travel does hold a little credibility with me. You know, because of the whole plausibility of it with Einstein and quantum theory and all.

In 'TimeCrimes', our main character, Hector, is swept up into a plot where he inadvertently gets into a time machine. He goes back about an hour in time and realizes that now there are two of him. The plot gets sticky with two and then three Hectors. Then at the end, at least one of the Hector's is back to normal. But I'm pretty sure the other Hector's will be forever perpetuating the same plot and themselves??

Although 'TimeCrimes' wasn't great and probably won't be one of my all time favorites, it was definitely worth the watch. I enjoyed the complexity and layering of the plot. It was one of those movies that was fun to keep up with!

As for the kids, there's a little nudity (it's foreign) not in a sexual way, just a naked chick. So if your ok with that and your kid wants to read it.....

A nice watch!
