Time Travel Tuesday: 11 Minutes Ago

 This movie has a very awesome concept.  Confusing but awesome.  The execution sucked.  Poor acting.  Poor editing.  It sucked.  I mean it wasn't supposed to be intentionally bad but it's one of those I just had fun with (poking fun of how bad it was). It plays in a non-linear way, Memento style.  Our main character comes from the future and crashes a wedding.  He can only be there for 11 minutes.  After that, he goes back.  Then he comes back again to the same wedding but either later in the evening or earlier.  It turns out he's in love with one of the bridesmaids.  So he keeps going back to spend more time with her. I haven't mentioned the fucked up part.  This is all found footage style.  That's right.  And most people know how I feel about found footage.  This was done in the annoying way: multiple cameras.  So, yeah, disappointed. Once again, clever idea, bad delivery.
If this was somehow remade with better actors and director, and steer away from found footage, it would probably be something special.  Can't win them all.  Next month, I'll be watching Frequency for Time Travel Tuesday.
