About Time – Movie Review

image

Starting out as a movie that captured me from the first moment I saw the trailer, About Time moved me more than any film has ever done.
The story of a young man, Tim, who finds out on his 21st birthday that the men in his family can travel in time, to change what happens and what has happened in his life.
After his Dad delivers the news of time travel, his Dad asks him what big thing he will do with the ability. The big thing? Find a girlfriend. Probably the simplest of things to do it may seem, but it’s not. Finding that ‘one’ person is difficult and then keeping up the happy relationship perfectly, as Tim wants to, proves to be even harder.
It all turns upside down though, when Tim’s sister has a car crash, caused by alcohol abuse. Tim realises he needs to change his sisters life, and the only way to do that would be to stop her from ever meeting her boyfriend, who’s a bad influence. In doing this though, he changes the gender of his child and realises that he won’t be able to fix his sisters problem and that the best way is to change it is in present time.
Perfect from beginning to end on every aspect if this movie, it serves also as a wake-up call to people who don’t spend enough time with their loved ones and who don’t live life moment to moment, to the fullest extent.

Ever Wondered What Tim Burton’s Wonderland Looked Like Before The Magic?

You may have wondered what Tim Burton’s adaptation of “Alice In Wonderland” looked like before all that CGI and other movie magic was added. Well, here are two Behind The Scene videos that you may or may not have seen before!

Johnny Depp To Step Back Into The Role Of The Hatter

After the flop of ‘The Lone Ranger’, Depp is in talks with Disney, locking in a deal with Disney to secure him the role of the Mad Hatter in ‘Alice In Wonderland 2’.

Set to hopefully top or equal the success of the first film, Disney and Depp have James Bobin at the helm this time around, not Tim Burton.

It is strange that Tim Burton didn’t want to take up the opportunity of this second film, but it may be that he had other works in production, or that he would prefer his own work on Wonderland to be a one hit wonder, and not direct another. Either way, we are sure that Bobin will create an ultimately superb and fantastical look into the world of the Hatter, with Depp as the man himself causing tons of havoc in the process of making a brilliantly entertaining movie.

Hopefully this film makes us smile, and if not, at least Mr Depp will plaster a grin across our faces. Bring on the Futterwacken.
