MISSING (2023) Movie Trailer: Storm Reid stars in the Sequel to Thriller SEARCHING https://film-book.com/missing-2023-movie-trailer-storm-reid-stars-in-the-sequel-to-thriller-searching/?feed_id=115323&_unique_id=637ed2b2d6553

Project Almanac (2015)

Project Almanac falls prey to the Achille’s Heel of bad time travel films: its characters are stupid, rules inconsistent, and science dubious. Even if you eliminated the plotholes, you'd be left with weak character motivations and an irritating use of the found-footage gimmick.

17-year-old high schooler David (Jonny Weston), his sister Chris (Virginia Gardner), and his best friends, Adam (Allen Evangelista) and Quinn (Sam Lerner) discover the blueprints to a time machine. Once they complete the device, they have the time of their lives until David’s longtime crush, Jessie (Sofia Black-D’Elia) becomes involved.

The time machine our protagonists build has some limitations, which sets us off on the right path. This avoids the potential ramifications of assassinating a young Mike Schneider before he directs Night of the Living Dead Re-Animated or other history-altering moves. Instead, the teens use the device to “skip” school, ace tests, etc. Disappointingly, the more trips they take, the more the picture becomes prey to standard time-travel tropes. In this film, if two versions of the same person come face-to-face, it creates a sort of feedback loop, which threatens to erase you from existence. Why? Does it have anything to do with altering the past? No, because whether messing with the timeline is perfectly fine or threatens all of existence depends on the scene. I understand the choice to pay homage to classic sci-fi stories like A Sound of Thunder, but here, the central conflict doesn’t really make any sense. I can believe that killing a prehistoric butterfly would change the future because millions of years have passed. Who knows how much happened between then and now? One little experiment causing the death of hundreds through a bizarre Final Destination-like chain? That's a stretch.

You might be able to forgive the numerous inconsistencies (I don’t) but you'll have a tough time accepting where this story goes. David is one of the most handsome nerds you'll ever see, he’s got the skills to put together a working time machine… but his actions are so stupid they’ll drive you nuts. In fact, none of these characters are particularly smart. Why bother distracting your past self so that you can take the test instead of them… when it would be much easier (and less risky when you consider that feedback loop thing) to send yourself a text message or a note? It’s not like the time machine is a secret!

We didn’t even cover the found-footage aspect, which is contrived. These kids are documenting themselves performing a bunch of crimes. Why? Wouldn’t you leave that out of your home video? There was no reason for this film to be shot the way it was, except to jump on the money-saving bandwagon. The shoddy writing and camera techniques wind up drowning everything the movie does well, a big letdown because it shows promise at first. I can see those who aren’t critical of science fiction films giving Project Almanac a pass, but under any scrutiny, you'll realize you're settling if this is what you choose to watch.

Video Movie Review: I LOVE MY DAD (2022): A Tender, Genuine Movie about Real Relationships https://film-book.com/video-movie-review-i-love-my-dad-2022-a-tender-genuine-movie-about-real-relationships/?feed_id=129874&_unique_id=63dd0d06ce626

amylandecker: I’m proud to support @cdgcdgcdg with my husband, Christian Bale. Seriously though, the staggering pay inequity for an 85% female guild is sadly not surprising but can no longer be tolerated. TBH I wasn’t aware of it but now I am and I urge any actor friends to sound the alarm on this one. It’s NUTS! @bradleywhitford

Thank you @amylandecker for rallying us to see A Christmas Carol with the amazing Bradley Fucking Whitford. Jules hasn’t stopped talking about it. Bradley Whitford mostly. If you’re in LA go see it! #achristmascarol (at Ahmanson Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXKjtSplFZV/?utm_medium=tumblr

careyleighcox: Shooting episode 503 of Handmaids was an absolute surreal dream because I got to work with the incredible @bradleywhitford @amylandecker  @butlerharner @yvonnestrahovski @maxminghella @samjaeger and the visionary @dana_gonzales_asc who were all amazing sweet talented hilarious and beautiful human beings. This was also the trip where I met @officialevercarradine at our hotel coffee shop and she might be the kindest person alive. Love you all and thanks for watchin!! ❤👗🔥

amylandecker  Throw back to last summer when I wrote and directed and acted in my first narrative short, Tired, starring the wonderful Allen Leech, about going to a wedding after getting divorced (not a true story, but true feelings.) This summer I got married and the film got into some lovely festivals. Art heals people! I’m so grateful, especially to the cast and crew (of mostly friends) for showing up for me and doing such an incredible job! Special shout out to Shelly Gurzi, my incredible DP and Alex Parks, the world kindest and productive producer. I’ll be headed to The Brooklyn Womens Film Festival on the 24th, so come join me if you happen to be hanging in the hot city then. Also, the kick ass soundtrack comes from my sister’s band The Walker Brigade. The song we used was also made into an incredible music video. The link to that is in my bio. Please check it out! If you like Madeline Kahn and Blazing Saddles and Punk Rock and Drag Queens then you will be very happy.
