1. This movie is a good Sci-fiction movie to watch on a rainy afternoon. The acting is good.



2. No, this is not a multi million dollar movie that is overloaded with big name actors, but that is what gives this movie its appeal. It takes place in Maine, which is one of the most beautiful backdrops for any movie, and the acting is great! It is a movie that you have to pay attention to, or you will miss something, and you'll have a hard time understanding what is going on. It's well worth the watch.

1. Thanks to the 1967 low-budget film Journey to the Center of Time, I now know the secrets of time travel. I'm even willing to share them with you and spare you the burden of actually having to sit through this film. Now all of this is going to sound more expensive than it really is; if you follow the designs laid out in this movie, I think you're probably looking at less than a hundred bucks for the whole thing (except for the giant ruby power source - maybe you can steal one somewhere). You're going to need a "time vault" but that can be any room with an automatic door. Then you need a time lab to go inside the vault - this should be a circular room filled with all sorts of dials and gizmos that serve no purpose whatsoever; make sure some of them are housed behind cardboard-like control panels. You must paint the walls of the lab the ugliest burnt orange color you can find - that's important. Now take your big old ruby (no, I don't even want to know where you got it), put it inside a birdcage, and rest it on a stand in the middle of the lab. Buy a camera and put a TV screen on the wall somewhere (black and white, not color) - this is for the benefit of the folks in the "control room" (an even cheaper version of the time lab set); they, naturally, can see whatever your camera shows no matter how many millennia you travel in time away from them. Next, find some scientists; one should look a tad like Henry Kissinger if you want to do this right, but any young man and woman off the street will do for his assistants. Make sure they refer to the space-time continuum, stabilizers, and other fancy words like that all the time. You won't actually need a burly, antisocial misanthrope reluctantly funding the project, but if you have one handy go ahead and throw him in there with the scientists just to shake things up a little bit. There you go. Turn a few knobs, count down from ten, and enjoy your travels back and forth in time.
   
   I'm quite sure your own time travel experience will exceed that of the characters in this film. Imagine traveling five thousand years into the future just to meet Lyle Waggoner (if you do meet him, though, try to spell his name right in the credits next time). The sight of a pasty-faced alien Lyle Waggoner is so repellant, that this film's characters travel millions of years backward in time just to get away from him. This also serves the purpose of introducing a dinosaur into the film; as we all know, any time travel movie simply must have a dinosaur in it. I understand the dinosaur union is very insistent on that.
   
   Journey to the Center of Time basically exists to be made fun of, but the thing that bothered me most about this exceedingly low-budget flick was the fact that the writer started making stuff up at the end. I mean, he went way beyond paradox and half-baked theory and just threw in something completely impossible without even bothering to explain it (which he could not have done if he had tried). That rubbed me the wrong way and ruined the whole effect of the one decent plot twist he had just pulled off.



2. To say this was low budget would be too kind. The stereotype acting is not stereotype enough. The stereotype actors are not stereotype enough. Let's face it; this whole stereotype project is not stereotype enough. If the budget was just a tad lower maybe this would never have been made.
   
   Basic premise is an attempt to look into the future and into the past actually forces the lab to go into the future and into the past. The lab is stuffed with good guy, bad guy, and screaming girl. The good guy does good things. The bad guy does bad things. The girl screams a lot. While back at the ranch, they talk of a lot about how they've lost the lab.
   
   This DVD is perfect for testing the fast forward option.

1. This palace is so unlike other Palaces you might see in Europe and yet it is filled with stuff those places could only copy. This royal home is built around grand gardens as opposed to say French Chateaux which were surrounded by gardens. I hope to return sooner than later.
