Atrocities, I was at Best Buy yesterday, and they had about half-a-dozen of those Returner movies for sale. I was tempted, but I bought the El Mariachi/Desparado 2-pack I missed out on when ONce Upon A Time In Mexico came out. Might buy it next time I"m there.

Ok, Atrocities, my resistance was futile and I gave in and bought Returner yesterday. didn't have the chance to watch it Last night, but will try to tonight. I'll let you know what I think about it after I see it.

Ok, Atrocities, I started to watch the Returner Last night, but fell asleep halfway through it. Not that it was boring or anything like that, but I have a tendency to do that if I start watching a movie after 10:00 PM (especially if I'm sitting in my recliner like I was Last night). I'll try to watch it again when I have the chance, but I usually have to wait for the missus to be asleep so I can watch the movie in peace. Nothing like getting into a movie and then the wife wants you to do something. From what I saw of it, though, it was definitely interesting.

Go to the bottom of the post for the semi-review of it. Or go to Best Buy and check it out.

You bought it? Man Greg, I hope you like the movie, I would hate for you to have forked out hte cash for it and not like it.

(I have like 200 movies I have bought that I wish I had not.)

Net Flix is a better way.

Yeah, I bought it and finally watched it Friday night. It was a good movie, and I don't regret buying it. The plot kind of reminded me of The Terminator, without the future leader angle. However, I have to disagree with the ending. The girl just fades away, and later does return, hence the name of the title. I don't buy it. I can see her disappearing as she eradicated her past, but I can't see her disappearing to appear in a future in which she may never have existed in the first place, let alone become some sort of time cop. Or she could have stayed, which would have made more sense. It's still a good movie, though, and I will watch from time to time.
