Time after Time

TIME AFTER TIME (1979) - July 15, 2005
You just can't go wrong with a movie about time travel, and this is certainly no exception. About H.G. Wells, who actually manages to invent a time machine, only to have it stolen by Jack the Ripper. Wells then follows him into the future to attempt to catch him. The inevitable fish-out-of-water jokes ensue; Wells also meets a bank clerk played by Mary Steenburgen and falls in love. The film was well directed and entertaining throughout. My only real complaint is that it lags slightly in the middle, but aside from that this was a really good movie. ***1/2
