My Review- 

This movie was recommend to me by the hosts "Yeah, It's That Bad." As I was flipping through the channels trying to find a movie to watch for today and I came across this movie which was recommend to me so this movie being added to my list I decided to watch and record it on my DVR. After watching it I can consider this movie to be a hidden gem because it does seem like not a lot of people know about this movie, and they should know about it because it is really good; the acting is really good from D'Onofrio as always and from Tomei whom I have always liked as an actress ever since I saw "My Cousin Vinny," I believe this was their first movie together, and they both worked really well in this romantic comedy with a twist or if it can even be considered that it seems more like a sc-fi movie with romance in it. This movie had me hooked since the opening credits, It started off as a scene being played in reverse and then staring off like a movie does it they way it starts is half way through the movie, since most of it is told in a flashback told from the POV of Tomei. This movie is done really well with the relationship between Tomei's character Ruby and D'Onofrio's character Sam, throughout the movie Sam is a mystery saying that he is Time Traveler from the year 2470 and keeps making up different variations of why he would travel back to the year 2000. When we finally find out the truth we are like Ruby questioning everything that he does it is not until the last 5-10 minutes of the film do we finally find out the truth. This movie has a few twists that I did not see coming and had me shocked at what had happened. This probably now my second favorite movie from both of these actors. What I really liked about this movie is that it is up to us to try and piece together the puzzle and figure out if Sam is telling the truth or not, its these kind of movies that more people should know about, and should watch. I highly recommend this film to be watched for many reasons that I may have already mentioned. There were some scenes here and there that I did not care for, and thought they did not need to be in the movie but that's just me. One of my favorite parts of the movie was seeing Anthony Michael Hall in a cameo, and it made sense since there was a joke told about him earlier in the film. So if you ever want to watch a movie or looking for a good off-beat sc-fi movie check this one out, I hope you will not be disappointed.
