the time machine

is the worst. movie. ever.

i procrastinated watching this since it was first released in 2002. i should have procrastinated more; it's one of the very very few movies that made me wonder who died in hollywood and hired people to work on this movie. whoever was in charge and put guy pearce as the main character needs to be banished from the movie industry and left to die on a raft in the middle of the pacific ocean. guy pearce looks like a fucking monkey. there, i said it.

two highlights of the movie:

1. the time machine itself. steam powered and full of bullshit, but well-designed. it's full of details and very elaborate. if there's a miniature replica of the time machine, i wouldn't mind having one to put on my shelf.

2. sienna guillory. too bad she died early in the movie. twice. silly deaths, too. a quick googlesearch after the movie returned an info that she played jill valentine in resident evil: apocalypse, so it's no surprise that her name sounded familiar when i looked through the cast list. she certainly looks better as long-haired blonde than a short-haired brunette, though.
