One absolutely terrific new movie debuting at theaters today:
* “About Time“: I loved this movie! It features something of a dinosaur, unfortunately, in today’s movies: a loving, terrific father in a nuclear family. Imagine that (instead of the Marxist Hollywood decades-long push to demonize fathers in movies–portraying them absent, deadbeats, dopes, losers, cheaters, and/or criminals–so that big government can take dad’s place).
When he turns 21, Tim (Domhnall Gleason) learns from his father (the always excellent Bill Nighy) that the males in the family have a special power: they can travel back in time (but not into the future) and back to the present. Thereafter, Tim uses this power to go back in time to fix things for himself and friends and to make sure he meets the woman of his dreams (Rachel McAdams). While the movie may sound like it’s about superpowers and science fiction, it is really about the love of a father for his son and the love of a son for his father.
The movie is a comedy, a drama, and fabulous science fiction all rolled up into one. Extremely touching. If you are close to your dad, as I was, you’ll really like this. And even if you were not, it’s a great movie anyway. Very funny and entertaining. I laughed a lot. Read the rest of this entry »
