Thoughts, Insights, and Inspirations

Timecrimes, in case you're wondering what Cronocrimens means, is what we opened up this past weekend at Village 8. It's a sci-fi/action/foreign film that has the strange elements and headache thoughts of time traveling.


Don't tell me you haven't thought about time traveling and whether or not it could work. I don't believe it can in a technical aspect, but it does in history books and films. But any time I think of time travel I always revert back to my childhood thinking of the Delorean speeding up to 88 mph in Back to the Future and the arm bracelet Bishop had from the X-Men cartoon series when he used it to try and stop Gambit from an assassination that would ultimately affect our future as a human and mutant race.


Of course any time travel would affect the future especially if you see yourself or run into yourself which is what exactly happens in this film. The question remains, what would you do if that happened? Faint? Be speechless? Hang out with them & grab a beer? It's probably none of these because you'd be in the Twilight Zone where nothing good happens at all. Case in point, that's what the premise is in this film. Running into yourself is never good because it's a competing point now, there can only be one of you! Who will survive? While this film brings the experimental stages of time travel it does bring forth some comical effort to which helps move you along in this deja vu nightmare.


If you haven't checked out this film you should because it's going to be gone by Friday.
