Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 5148547, member: 7894"] I had one of those nights. Started and quit on 2 or 3 movies. Kept looking at my watch list, nothing was jumping out at me as what I wanted to watch. Kept scrolling thru the Amazon Prime menu, finally decided to take a flyer on "Time Freak." I'm sure I've looked at the description of it before and passed on it. Well I'm glad I tried. Really enjoyed it. Asa Butterfield plays a brilliant physics student who gets dumped by his girlfriend Sophie Turner. He invents a time machine and enrolls his best friend Skyler Gisondo to take a stroll through the past with him as he tries to fix all the things he thinks contributed to the breakup. It's one of those, for a really smart guy he's pretty dumb kind of things. I got some good chuckles out of it, but it gets more serious when it needs to. Eventually some lessons are learned about the futility of trying to control everything and that perfection doesn't exist. I don't know what it is, I don't really like Butterfield. His characters usually bug me. I do like Gisondo. The first time I was aware of him was in "Booksmart," which unfortunately was just a bad role. But I've seen him in several other things since then and he's usually endearing and charming. And I know we have a resident Sophie Turner hater, can't remember who that was, but I like her and really enjoyed her performance in this. [/QUOTE]
