Cool News
New York & LA finally get their shot at TIMECRIMES this weekend!
Hey folks, Harry here - having returned from the pre-BNAT party - it was incredibly cool. Very very cool. A little overwhelming - but I came home to the news that today in NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES you have a film opening this weekend that everyone associated with AICN - and everyone that has seen has loved. Nacho Vigalondo's TIMECRIMES.
I don't recommend the trailer - it's a classic case of TOO MUCH INFORMATION. It isn't that it spoils the entire film, it's just a trailer that if you had seen the film, you'd be pissed by what they do give away in the trailer. The fact is - all they had to say was, "How many times would you travel back in time, just to save your wife? How far would you be willing to go? What wouldn't you do? And Why Is Someone Trying To Get You?
This film is the tightest, smartest, simplest - yet delightfully convoluted TIME TRAVEL science fiction tale that I've ever seen. It is the debut film from a BRILLIANT new filmmaker who you will know all about over the next few years, but here you folks in LA and NY... You have a chance to get in on the ground floor. If you do - please consider writing in to AICN on the film. This is a title that we can't get enough on and I can't wait to hear what all of you think of it!

I was totally pissed when I missed it by a day at the AFI film festival last month. Got stuck watching Defiance instead...
-
Maybe the trailer just doesn't sell it well, but it looked fairly silly.
-
at the afi film festival. It was spectacular. It was every bit as Harry describes. Incredible film and everyone should go see it.
-
Primer is, in my opinion, the best time travel movie since George Pal's Time Machine adaptation.
-
I saw it at the Florida Film Festival this past spring. I really enjoyed it.
-
It's smart and enjoyable, and the pink bandaged man is one of the creepiest things I've seen at the movies this year.
-
The time travel plot is just as smart, but it's presented in a way that's easier to follow. The trailer truly doesn't do the film justice, and it spoils way too many plot points.

I actually live in New York but I'm working in Northern California on a job right now. I was at Fantastic Fest '08, met Nacho, saw his shorts, and suddenly he became one of the most exciting new directors that i was aware of. I'm dying to see Timecrimes but I worry it will be out of New York by the time I get back, and not open near me in California before I leave! When and how can i see this film and when will it be released on dvd... along with Nacho's shorts maybe?
-
It's available to download. Just check your local neighborhood torrent website.
-
who stabs himself? I honestly havent seen it or know anyone who did so I dont know. But if that is the case then I really dont care to. Even if the execution is great I dont care to be let down by an anti climactic ending. I fucking HATE that. I honestly want to know before I see this if thats the case.
-
But as we all know, when Harry cries masterpiece...It's usually faaaaaar from it. Here's to hoping he's right this time.
-
PRIMER was fantastic. What the hell happened to Shane Carruth?!
-
I went forward in time and even Ebert gave it a stroked thumb up. Primer was better though.
-
Saw Timecrimes at Fantastic Fest '07 and it really is a cool movie. It's playing at the Sunset 5 in L.A. as well as Let The Right One In. I plan on doing a double feature to see both these cool movies again. Nacho is awesome!
-
Time Crimes is not a masterpiece but not that far from that. Curiously enough, I wouldn't mind an american remake, which have been buzzed as one of Tom Cruise's next projects. Just give it to a director with vision, from Danny Boyle to Tarantino or even John Carpenter. By the way, should I send a review of this and Dead Set? No review about Dead Set, I'm totally disappointed.

I'd like to see this but I don't reside in either NYC or LA.

But hey, if the damn movie has been out for a year or more it'd only be fair to finally get the chance to see it -- in a theater or torrent near me.

... made by a friend/s of the staff of AICN, because it is NOT brilliant, it is NOT good. It's boring and a waste of an hour and a half. It's NOT scarey. It is lacking in plot, editing, camerawork, and direction. It's not terrible, it's just boring, and even a little dumb.
