glenjordanspangler The Story Jessica (Highsmith) moves from farm country to a bizarre apartment building where the manager's office is the elevator and there only seem to be a handful of tenants. Everyone seems to both offer and expect Too Much Information, and insist that Jessica attend that night's New Year's Eve Party on the roof. Meanwhile, Jessica sees bloody corpses, which she finds a bit disturbing, mostly because they disappear each time she tries to show someone.I just finished watching it, and I don't... I mean, I sort of get the lesson she was supposed to...um, no. And how did they...if they...huh? Why you should see itSo you can explain it to me. Because two female characters exist only for the scene in which they take their shirts off and make out on a broken desk for no discernible reason. Or maybe you can explain that too.Why you shouldn't see itYou'll probably need someone to explain it to you.--from my review at www.1man365movies.com
tfarrell-874-210415 This movie starts out with a young girl moving into a new apt in the city. The first thing I noticed was that she only has one box of stuff with her? I kind of get the the story line somewhat. Some things they show...like the two lesbians making out in the dark, dank building made no sense. What was the reason? The never show them again. Another thing that bothered me was that Jessica never locked her doors! Here she is a single woman living by herself in a nasty rundown apt building with a bunch of strange people who are always popping into her apt uninvited! You would think she would learn to lock her doors...at one point she was taking a bath and again Evan walks in on her....HELLO lock your doors girl! I must say that the best part in the movie was Ed! Too many holes in this movie...could have been much better!
readyfornothing The first option is to hate this movie. This is for idiots who don't like it when the movie isn't described perfectly to them and it isn't all wrapped up in a neat little bow by the end. If you choose option 1, then you're the person that got John from Cincinatti taken off the air for being "too confusing" and we probably wouldn't ever get along anyway.However, if you saw the movie, and you like movies that leave open ends for thought discussion, then I have comprised two different theories on how the characters played into one another: ***SPOILERS BELOW*** OPTION 1: Ned and friends admit a new girl to the building who ends up burning the place down. However, they wake up the next morning like nothing happened, and lo! The girl is moving in again and has no memory of what happened! As they look and ask around to one another, they realize it's not tomorrow, it's the same day over again. It's Groundhog Day in reverse. Instead of the main character being the only one aware, she's the only one who isn't. Once that day plays out in awkwardness, they wake up and it's the same day again. So, over time, these people try absolutely everything to figure out how to get this day to move on. They try every trick in the book, right down to telling her on select days that she's living in a loop. They get used to her needing new toothbrushes and exactly when her light is going to go out because, well, do the math. They've had almost 2500 YEARS to get to know this girl and her pattern. I can tell you anything about my brother and I've only known him for 29 years. Law of Averages would make certain that they've tried everything they could, using their constant recordings and what not. Anyways, they eventually figure out the near-perfect way to play the day out for her to be faced with the exact scenario in which she must make the choice; she needs to choose to stay with Evan. After that, everyone else finally gets to move on to tomorrow. Evan and our fated chickadee finally go into the light after she finally makes the correct decision in the second chance she begged for after the death of her brother. Their hostility towards her would be explained by the fact that all of them had led simple artist lives until the day she came along and put them in a 2500 year curse. They didn't ask for that. She landed it on them.OPTION 2: Ned and friends are agents that do this stuff eternally. A woman begs for a second chance at being willing to sacrifice herself to save a loved one. Upon her death, she goes into Limbo and her rites begin. To put the more celestial approach on it, Evan is a variation of her guardian angel, while the rest are more of a facilitating nature. They put the situation down the way it is, and Evan is the cooling factor as well as her appointed focus. He helps her through and nudges her in the right directions while the rest are fed up with her taking so long to move on. I'm less inclined to believe this theory over my first one, because they all seem pretty peeved about the fact that they have to keep dying, what with them constantly expressing their anguish towards how she will kill them. However it would explain why everyone else survives once she makes the right choice, and also why Evan disappeared with her.I gave it a 7 instead of a 10. I did this because they left it "too open" and too open means holes. Even as I put the two theories together, I had to put parts of the movie into one, and other parts into the other. There's no explanation I have found that completely covers everything shown in the movie. It just means they could have run a tighter ship, but I liked the concept very much.
omzmokwana It's very predictable right from the beginning. Having the opening fire scene followed by "Jessica" in her car singing "I'm going to set my soul on fire..." it gave everything away. There were a few oh my goodness moments, but they weren't enough. Having things or people appearing and disappearing was way too convenient. The damsel in distress storyline has been done way too many times, why can't people add a twist to it or something instead of adding unnecessary information to prolong an already established point.They had a great concept, but personally it seemed rushed and not well thought through.
