I am rewatching The Butterfly Effect trilogy. The first one released in 2004. Starring Ashton Kutcher, Melora Walters, Amy Smart, Elden Henson, William Lee Scott. It is a scifi drama. Kutcher's best work. It focuses on abuse. Good soundtrack. I like the editing and acting. You may have seen The Time Traveller's Wife, The Time Machine, Quantum Leap, Back To The Future, About Time, Donnie Darko, Timeline, Timeless. This has a love story at the centre of it. The time travel aspect will attract most. Chaos Theory is where you could change one thing and a random chain of events can occur. Evan is a young man that had been having blackouts as a child. He starts a journal. Upon reading an entry he will be transported back that year in his own body. He tries to see what he can do to make things better. Altering the course of history. Worth taking a look at all of the films. Eric Stoltz was originally in Back To The Future. However this is the time travel film that he gets to be in.
The Butterfly Effect 2
With the second film you have Nick, an employee of a tech company. Having to deal with potential investors. He is with his girlfriend and two friends. Having a picnic. A car accident happens. Nick can travel through time by focusing on photographs. The actresses have nice breasts. The sex scenes are unnecessary. It acknowledged the first film. I do question as to how all the characters from the trilogy are connected. Why they can time travel. Eric Lively, Erica Durance, Dustin Milligan, Gina Holden, David Lewis. Good soundtrack. I wonder why they bothered with sequels.
The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations. Chris Carmack, Rachel Miner, Melissa Jones, Kevin Yon, Lynch R. Travis. Sam is a psychic working for the police. His method of time travel is different. No longer having nosebleeds or headaches. His sister Jenna has an apartment. His girlfriend was murdered. Her hot sister had come to visit. She believed the man on death row to be innocent. Interesting soundtrack. Nice rack on the barmaid.
A few pretty actresses. Goldburg is a guide/friend to Sam. Only he and Jenna know about the time jumps. Having already seen this film I view it differently. Good actors. There is a continuity error near end. The shoe is off the foot. Back on and off again.
Quantum Leap 2022. A reboot/sequel to the original show.

Takes place 30 years after the original. I hadn't realised the original was set in 1995. This is set in 2022. The project has been reinstated. Ben Song is the protagonist. He uses to the machine and takes a
leap into the unknown. Addison is his hot fiancé. She is on the team. She is a hologram helping Ben in the past. They acknowledge what happened in the original. Worth checking both shows out. Mixed reviews. I know some antisjw are probably whining. The special effects can be questionable. I do wonder if Scott Bakula will reprise his role. Ben has suffered amnesia. He is in the middle of a heist. He will have to help people in order to move on. I could see some reaction channels watching this. Trivia and discussion will be looked at. Cast are familiar. Dedicated to Dean Stockwell. Soundtrack is good. Great acting, costumes and sets. You might also like Timeless, Doctor Who, Outlander, La Brea, Loki.
Timeless season 2. Starring Abigail Spencer, Malcolm Barrett, Matt Lanter, Goran Visnjic, Claudia Doumit. I watched season 1 on TV when it was originally shown. The protagonists were working for an agency hunting down members of Rittenhouse. A terrorist organisation that will change history for their own means. Pretty women in the show. Time travel drama. You might also like Quantum Leap. I never cared for the romance element. It was more real when dealing with discrimination. You will recognise some of the actors. Lucy is a historian. Rittenhouse want to recruit her. Wyatt is a soldier and then you have Rufus the scientist. Good show.
Cast: Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Richard Rankin, Sophie Skelton, John Bell
Outlander is a Netflix TV series based on the books. Slow paced. Good soundtrack by Bear Mccreary. Starts off in 1945. A nurse and history teacher named Claire and Frank are on a holiday together. They come to Inverness in Scotland. Interesting filming locations. Nice buildings. There is that one scene where she is having her fortune read. But anyway I didn't care for the sex scenes though the actress is pretty with a nice body. It is nearly Halloween. There's a group of people near a stone circle performing a ritual. Somehow Claire is transported back in time to 1743. The Scottish and English are at war. She is with a group of warriors. Jamie is one that she helps and I know that they will have a relationship. There are questions as to how she got there. What will happen to her future. An ancestor of Frank is there. The timeline could change. Has she already lived this life and we will see what impact was made? Some sort of paradox. Maybe this is all happening for the first time. Interested to see discussions and trivia. There are 7 seasons. The lead actress had left and they would bring in a new one. You might also like Doctor Who, Highlander, Braveheart, The Time Machine, Timeless, Quantum Leap, Outlander film. I recommend the books of Stephen Baxter.
Paul Walker, Matt Craven, Cas Anvar, David Thewlis, Rossif Sutherland, Billy Connolly, Michael Sheen, Anna Friel, Gérard Butler, Neal McDonough.
Timeline is a scifi adventure film from 2003. There is a team of archeologists in France. Making a few discoveries. Meanwhile in the US there is the ITC corporation. They have a time machine. The wormhole leads to 1357. The professor had gone missing and now his son and colleagues must go back to rescue him. There is a war between the French and English. Kate is kinda annoying. This was the first film with Gérard Butler that I saw. You will recognise some faces. If you like The Time Machine, Outlander, Doctor Who, Timeless, Braveheart, Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves then you might like this. A good film. Might not have been seen by many. Based on the novel by Michael Crichton and directed by Richard Donner. Good soundtrack. I didn't care for the romance. I will recommend the film to reaction channels on YouTube.
I watched Synchronic. A scifi drama from the makers of The Endless. Starring Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan. Two paramedics working in the New Orleans. They have things going on at home. One is ill and the other has his marriage that has issues. The victims in each case have been taking a designer drug. The side effects leads them to time travel. Dennis's daughter Brianna goes missing and so Mackie's character Steve tries to figure out a way to get her back. Impressive special effects, acting and soundtrack. I like the concept. May need to see the science behind it. Check out the trivia and discussion. In one scene I spotted one the extras that is playing a corpse. He shifts his leg and moves his hand lower as Mackie passes. But it isn't a bad film. You should see The Endless, The Jacket, Chronical.
I decided to watch Willy's Wonderland. A horror comedy from Signature. Tongue in cheek, action packed. Starring Nicolas Cage as a man travelling through America. He is a passing a small town. His car breaks down. So whilst it is being repaired. He owes the mechanic money. He is hired by the theme park owner to pay off the debt by cleaning up the building. Meanwhile you have these animatronic puppets. The characters from the park come alive at night. Later on a back story is given. The Janitor barely says much. Not sure what the glance between him and Liv is about. Kathy is one of the friends. She is hot, liking the tits and ass. The other teens in the group know about the history of the park and want it destroyed. You have cgi, puppetry and stunt work in costumes. The Janitor is pretty bad ass. Cage is a great actor. Just because of the damn memes they don't take him seriously. Worth taking a look. Soundtrack is good. Reminded of a few films that I recommend: Five Nights At Freddy's, Cooties, Ash Vs Evil Dead, Gremlins, Westworld, Zombieland, Child's Play. Emily Tosta, Beth Grant and others star.
I watched Splinter again in a long while. It is an independent horror film. Starring Shea Whigham, Jill Wagner, Charles Baker, Paulo Costanzo, Rachel Kerbs, Laurel Whitsett.
Director Toby Wilkins
A young couple who are quite mismatched are on a camping trip. The boyfriend Seth is a PhD graduate and nerdy. His girlfriend Polly is hot, has a nice pair of tits. The have the unfortunate encounter with a convict Dennis and his girlfriend Lacey on the run from the law. They all are in the car. Meanwhile because of some experiment I believe there is this parasite. Infecting any host that is in it's way. Spikes come out of it. This is a good film. Quite gory. You might also like Slither, The Thing. Good soundtrack. Great acting and special effects.
Monster Hunter is an action scifi adventure film by Paul W. S. Anderson. Starring: Milla Jovovich; Tony Jaa; Clifford "T. I." Harris; Meagan Good; Diego Boneta; Josh Helman; Jin Au-Yeung; Ron Perlman.
I saw the trailer and noticed mixed reviews. Milla has been in a few good films. Not the greatest actor but does a good enough job. She plays a Ranger named Captain Artemis. Her team of military soldiers are on some mission in the desert. A storm is brewing nearby. They are sucked into a portal taking them to another world. They encounter monsters. Meanwhile on this planet is the Hunter and his people on a boat type vehicle when they are attacked. I like how some characters in films from different worlds have an understanding. At 38 mins I was about to fall asleep. I could have stopped watching. I had been working in the day. I did hope the military scenes would not be clichéd. The sort of thing Tropic Thunder would parody. Impressive creature designs. FX aren't bad. Plenty of action. I did think that this would be about an entire team. The soundtrack is electro, synthwave. Good cast of actors especially Tony Jaa. Milla looking good. T. I was in this despite some recent controversy. Some reason her character reminded me of Katherine Hepburn. You might also like Mad Max, Monsters, Godzilla, Love And Monsters, A Quiet Place, Dune, Stargate. There is some mid credits scene which doesn't make sense. Doubt there will be a sequel.

I watched a scifi horror named Shifter. For some reason I felt that I had seen it before. Released early this year. Theresa is single woman living on a farm. She works at the local factory. She is awkward, annoying when with her cat. Plenty of vomit scenes which I could have done without. She had built a time machine. Uses to travel to the past. But things have gone wrong. She desperately tries to figure out a solution. The effects aren't bad. Minimal cast in this indie flick. Director: Jacob Burns
Screenplay: Jacob Burns
