THX 1138 SPECIAL EDITION (1971/2004) ★ ★ ★
Director: George Lucas
George Lucas’s debut film still holds up stylistically. The newly added “special edition” footage is unnecessary, but rarely distracting. Cinematography, editing, and sound design are superb.
VERDICT: See It
TIME AFTER TIME (1979) ★ ★
Director: Nicholas Meyer
Jack the Ripper hitches a ride on H.G. Wells’ time machine, and finds himself in modern day San Francisco. Fun concept, but ultimately the story doesn’t work.
VERDICT: Skip It
DISTRICT B13 (2004) ★ ★ 1/2
Director: Pierre Morel
Some of the most ridiculous action scenes I have ever seen. If only the action was paired with an involving storyline. Still, this is entertaining movie.
VERDICT: On the Fence
