I love time travel movies! Back to the Future is one such entry into this genre that I’m fond of. Note that Crispin Glover features prominently and is one of the highlights in the upcoming time travel comedy, Hot Tub Time Machine, which is an insanely wild ride of a time!
 
Caption:
Time traveler Marty McFly (MICHAEL J. FOX) is a 1985 teenager who meets up with his future parents (LEA THOMPSON, CRISPIN GLOVER) in the year 1955.

The Daily Movie Wallpaper
Sunday, January 10, 2009
 
After big launches in 2009 at the AFI and Toronto International Film Festival, Youth in Revolt, is now out in US theaters. It’s a fun, rebellious coming of age movie that is one of the first must see movies of 2010. This also marks breakout performances by Adhir Kalyan (who will be starring in upcoming high school stoner comedy, High School) as Vijay Joshi and Michael Cera as his alter ego, Francois Dillinger. Kalyan brings what normally would be a one dimensional role to life and in many instances nearly steals every scene that he is in. With Cera as Dillinger, he finally gets to blaze (and does so extremely well) past his lovable outsider characters to one that is much more cultivated, dark and nuanced.
 
If you are in Austin this is currently showing at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz Downtown (info) where you will see a hilarious 30 minute pre-show for it that you won’t get anywhere else. Also be sure to check out Rodney’s review (here).

Great picture of James Dean and Natalie Wood in Rebel Without a Cause. Viewing this made me wonder what my favorite James Dean performance in a movie was… Giant springs to mind first, followed by East of Eden and then this film. Can’t even imagine the body of work he would have had if he had survived or avoided that tragic car accident.

I have a small series of this behind the scenes moment during the making of Rebel Without a Cause featuring James Dean and Natalie Wood. This series I consider fairly rare as I haven’t seen them featured in many books on Dean or the film itself.
