Two acquaintances keep bumping into one another until a friendship starts; testing the scientifically-proved uncontestable fact that men and women can’t be friends, which is a total fiction.

Phenomenal, even all this time later and compared to everything that was made before and since. Billy Crystal really carries this movie.

  • Properly titled When Harry Met Sally…
  • TODO – My DVD dies 2/3rds in, and needs to be replaced…

In the backdrop of a mirrored Earth appearing in the sky, a woman works through the consequences of causing a horrific tragedy.

A drama through and through, and honorifically called science fiction, this is moody and slow-paced. I liked it quite a lot, not least of why is the looks of the lead character; damn.

An alien and a mutant walk into some bars..

While it’s perfectly watchable, it’s definitely not great compared to the earlier two and certainly doesn’t hold up at all.
