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.

As shown here, Valhalla Rising is an intense ride with Mads Mikkelsen in a commanding performance as the Viking One-Eye.
 
Valhalla Rising is currently screening at the 2010 International Film Festival Rotterdam (official listing) and definitely recommended if you are there. Also be sure to check the interview I did with Nicolas Winding Refn if you haven’t already.

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).

Red (Morgan Freeman): We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men. Hell, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the lords of all creation. As for Andy – he spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on his face, watching us drink his beer.

 
This film, also one of my favorites, often sits atop #1 voted movies on IMDb and some 16 years later it continues to resonate and inspire.
