When Do You Want To Go Today?

What would you do if you had a handheld time machine that would let you go back ten minutes? In Sean Astin's case, he uses it to perfect his pickup of the cute bank cashier he's been obsessing on for months. What he doesn't know is that FBI agents Ivana Milicevic and Kevin Otto have been trailing him as a potential security risk --justified, it seems, because he has removed the time-travel device from a national laboratory. And what none of them know is that Vinnie Jones and his all-British crew are going to rob the bank, gun blazing.It's a very pleasant little story that would have rated high in the rankings in a mid-1940s pulp SF magazine of the better sort. Astin looks bewildered. Jones snarls. The others try to look effective, and it all sorts out satisfactorily in the end.When I deal with sf, I try to look for the little things, and I was astonished at how much things have changed in the two decades since this was made. There are lines at the bank! The time machine is referred to as a 'PDA' (for those of you too young to remember, that was short for "Personal Digital Assistant")!

Turn it off at minute 77

There are a lot of things that are wrong with Slipstream, a time travel movie with a cool enough concept. But its faults are forgivable til about 78 minutes in (I checked), when it all goes to hell. You know, the cliché scene where the computer geek's gear is totally broken but he somehow makes it work. The babe says "you need firewire?" (does anyone really use a phrase like that) then KISSES THE GEEK and it's been seen so many times before it is just a laugh. Anyway, it's watchable to this point and a complete joke beyond it. Sean Astin and Vinnie Jones in a bizarre space time continuum flux! How can you not watch? 5.0, above IMDb's 4.1.
