    Messing with the timeline didn't create the serial killer. He was always there. The disruptions simply caused someone else to now become one of his victims.

    @MrAnger: Well spotted. However, I would direct your attention to the "fiction" bit of "science fiction".

    Love this film. Changing things in the past to change the future and all that jazz!! Very cool film! As for re-writting history films. If you want an utter stinker of a film (which I recomend drunk)....A Sound of Thunder!! Its positivly monkey dung!! Ben Kingsley should always forget he was in this...forever. For anyone who (fortunatly) hasnt seen it, they go back in time to hunt very bad CGI dino's. They step on a butterfly and it all goes tits up when they get back. Awesome synopsis...very bad film. Worst CG City in film history and the inclusion of monkey lizards...Utter tripe.......

    Ray Bradburys gonna kick someones ass!!!

    I love time travel movies like this, and this is one of my favorites.

    If you like this kinda of thing, you should already have watched this movie.

    If you REALLY like this kind of thing, go read my blog post on how I am going to convince people that I'm a time traveler. [working-as-designed.blogspot.com]

    Awesome awesome awesome awesome.

    I love this movie so much. Completely underrated in my opinion. It never gets the attention it deserves (kind of like Jim "Savior HotAss" Caviezel)

    Does this count as a SPOILER?

    The ending with Quaid standing there all heroically badass with shotgun always makes me tear up.

    @Daumier: I feel like if a movie's been out for more than a year or two, people don't get to demand spoiler warnings. They had their chance to see it unspoiled. This movie's been out nine years. You're in the clear. Darth Vader is Luke's dad. Bruce Willis was dead the whole time. Rosebud was a sled. Anything else?

    Frequency is a pretty decent watch actually. I quite liked it. It's one of the few time-altering plots that doesn't give me a headache with time paradoxes.

    @Kamigoroshi: I saw this movies in theaters and own the DVD. I don't want to overhype it, but I did appreciate the understated time-altering mechanic and the character-centered story.

    I think it's worth a rental if you're sitting around wondering what to watch.

    EDIT: You know...I might just fire it up this evening. I haven't watched it for awhile.
