One Word Movie

Déjà Vu

You know the bit in the shampoo advert when Jennifer Aniston comes on and talks about how all the Pro-V complex molecules re-align themselves in a new polarity for added body and shine? The science in this film is similarly entertaining, and it is sad to reflect that whilst they can send The Denz 4 days back in time, they can't make him (or fatty Kilmer) buff anymore.

The Denz plays Doug Carlin, an ATF agent who is quite possibly the nicest man in America. When I was sitting in the cinema, I found myself thinking that he does have a lovely smile, which he uses to defend New Orleans against nasty yet beautifully shot acts of terrorism. And to do this he also makes use of a government-built time machine to go back 96 hours so that the other version of Denz (the one that hasn't travelled through time) can get his end away. It is hinted that by doing this, the entire universe could be destroyed, but you never actually get to find that out, one way or the other. Primer it ain't.

I know it's wrong to enjoy these jelly-brained shit films so much but I do like them.
