Comments:

When I came across the title I thought the movie was a remake of the cult 80s movie Repo Man. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this was an entirely different story. In the near future artificial organs, though expensive, can be bought like new car parts. The trick is, after the operation, if you can't pay the bill, the company which sells the organs sends a man to reclaim their merchandise. Whatever the cost.

Hot Tub Time Machine

Director: Steve Pink

Cast:
John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Crispin Glover, Chevy Chase, Lizzy Caplan

Studio: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

Comments:

We saw a time machine which was built in the Delorean, so why not in a bath tub? Don't mull too much over the physics. This is plain old fun!

The Crazies

Director: Breck Eisner

Cast:
Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Danielle Panabaker, Joe Anderson, Preston Bailey

Studio: Overture Films

Tagline:"Fear Thy Neighbor"

Comments:

Poisoned water supply turns inhabitants of "Ogden Marsh, the friendliest place on earth" into a bunch of crazies. Those who preserved their senses are the unlucky ones.

It seems that sf movies suit Radha Mitchell just fine. After Surrogates we find her in another one. Way to go Radha! :) Timothy Olyphant will likely look familiar too. His last SF movie was Dreamcatcher.

The Book of Eli

Directors: Albert and Allen Hughes

Cast:
Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Mila Kunis, Jennifer Beals, Ray Stevenson

Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures

Tagline:"Some will kill to have it. He will kill to protect it. "
