movie review - Hot Tob Time Machine

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.09.29

You can probably understand everything you need to know about this movie from the title. With a superb cast firing on all cylinders - I was delighted that Cusack would touch such a project - this is entertaining and cringe-worthy and actually has a plot (of sorts). I enjoyed the various predicaments that the characters create for themselves with the titular time machine.

Recommended.

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
