Uncertainty: A lesson in how not to write a movie

Uncertainty tells the tale of a two 20 something year olds, Bobby and Kate (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins) who decide to let a coin toss control some obscure apparently major life choice (or not). From the moment of the toss, done in the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge, the pair alternate between two timelines, complete with different colored cars and outfits.

Sunday Movie Time: The Vow

The best part of having a Sunday afternoon off is when Saturday brought me a fresh red envelope. You know the ones I'm talking about.

So this weekend the selection was The Vow. This 'inspired by a true story' flick tells the tale of Paige and Leo, a young couple madly in love. One wintery night they are having dinner out and end up getting a bit frisky in the car when it is run into by a snow plow (I know rather lame sounding set up but work with me here). Both are hurt but it's Paige that is the more severe as she ends up with a 'traumatic brain injury' (a phrase tossed around a lot during the movie) and after a few weeks in a forced coma she wakes up to discover that she's forgotten around 4-5 years of her life including her entire relationship with Leo.
