Film 344/365, Day 356/365 – Office Space

Brilliant, we’d all do it if we could.  Anyone that has worked in an office will find at least one thing to relate to in this film and most likely several more.  Milton is a fantastic character and Gary Cole is also brilliant as the apathetic boss.  Hilarious!

Synopsis:  Peter Gibbons doesn’t really enjoy his life and when his soon to be ex-girlfriend takes him to see a hypnotherapist things don’t get any better.  Once is a relaxed state the hypnotherapist has a heart attack and is unable to stir Peter from his state and goes about the rest of his life without a care.

Film 45/365, Day 51/365 – The Time Traveller’s Wife

Henry DeTamble has a very rare genetic condition. When he becomes stressed he involuntarily travels through time to a time and location that he cannot control. Whilst on one of these episodes he travels into the past where he meets Clare, his future wife, as a child. Clare’s childhood is peppered with these meetings until as a grown woman she finally meets Henry in the correct time-line.

I’m not entirely sure how The Time Traveller’s Wife made me feel. On one hand it is a fantastic story, excellently shot and acted. On the other hand it is a romantic story about a man who travels back in time and meets his future wife as a child and pretty much ensures that they will be together in the future. Hmmm!
