 | I saw this movie when it came out, and was curious what I might think of it now. Zowie! Part of the fun of time travel movies is the audience knowing that the person back in time knows the future, and is experiencing the past in a different way than the people around her. This movie does that, but in a new way.
When Kathleen Turner's character goes back in time, she is both her future self, AND who she was back then. The result is breathtaking, a very strange mix of agony and fun as Kathleen both catches a thrill from the past, and tries what in time travel movies is always the big risk: to make different choices, and try to change the future. She returns to the future, of course, and in a witty way.
Kathleen Turner is the reason it all works as a movie, mixing up just the right degrees of vulnerability, confusion, sexiness, silliness & suprise. An amazing performance, and a great movie that delivers more than it promises.

| Would you make different decisions in your life given the opportunity? This questions forms the basis of a very original screenplay, along with a good dose of touching and humorous nostalgia. Not sure why it was not a hit. But then again, good story does not usually equate to box office success! |

| William Butler Yeats: When You Are Old When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. That comes from a scene where Peggy Sue (Kathleen Turner) is talking to a poet Michael Fitzsimmons (Kevin J. O'Connor) while she is visiting her high school years. The scene is one of my favorite movie scenes ever and I feel that the movie itself is a timeless piece of cinema. Look out for performances from Jim Carrey, Nicholas Cage, Hellen Hunt, and a young Sofia Copola (director of Lost in Translation, Virgin Suicides) as Peggy's bratty kid sister (is there another kind?) Great musical score. And this is the one flick guranteed to make me tear up everytime. |

| When DVD production started to really take off, no one knew just how it would change the way you look at movies. In many cases, you can have a good movie, but if it's on a bad DVD, it can ruin the movie for the watching person. Such has been the case with Colombia/Tri-Star DVDs. This was a pretty good movie, but I saw the DVD of it, and it ruined the film. There are no bonus features and the film print is rather poor. I have now bought ten movies that were made by Colombia/Tri-Star DVD video, and only three of the movies had a good DVD made on them. The rest have been a waste of money and this regretfully is another of them. |
