Project Almanac: Or, What Stupid Shit Teens Would Do With Time Travel.
A few continuity quibbles - mainly how did they sneak in to chemistry class half a dozen times without running into their earlier selves and glitching out of existence? Like many time-travel films, I feel this one works best if you don't think about it much, which is a shame. Points on Why We Can't Kill Hitler discussion, though.
Time Lapse: Or, Lady Macbeth, Some More.
I have to say that while I felt a lot of this movie was goodish, I did really like the particular take the characters came up with (correct or not), that if they deviated from the path laid out to them, horrible things would happen to them. It made a self-fullfilling prophecy, even when they didn't want it to, that I found both interesting and frustrating. Also, like many weird-shit/normal-people movies, it call comes down to the unstable friend. Gotta watch that guy.
And, pet peeve: who decides it's more low-key to win every bet you place with a bookie, every day, rather than just win the lotto jackpot once? Lotto once, people. That is how you make money with time-travel without getting your bookie to come after you with a bat.
[Spoiler warning]
I did wonder at Fin not catching on - he has a comment about Mr B "keeping the good ones for himself" when looking at the pictures on the wall, but surely he must realize the photo from charade night is there, and be concerned about it being found?
