Richard Curtis writes and directs this British comedy about a young
man who discovers he can time travel. Following yet another
uneventful New Year's Eve Party, 21-year-old Tim (Domhnall Gleeson)
learns a life-changing secret from his father (Bill Nighy). It
seems that the men in Tim's family possess the unique ability to
travel in time by simply entering a dark space, clenching their
fists, and imaging the place they want to be. Armed with this
knowledge, Tim decides to leave rural Cornwall behind and move to
London to become a lawyer, and in the process, find love. All seems
to be going well when he meets and falls for the dazzling Mary
(Rachel McAdams), using his newfound abilities to help win the day.
But when a mishap in the time travelling manoeuvre threatens his
future happiness, Tim soon comes to realise that, above all else,
it's how you live your life in the present that really matters.
Hugh confronts some of the problems of dealing with the ageing
process and, in a light-hearted way, suggests strategies that might
help people to come to terms with the situation.
People often think that if they can just find the "perfect person"
they will live happily ever after. But God astounded Jason and
Katie by showing them that being a part of His story is far more
romantic than pursuing any personal fairy tale. Growing up, Katie
and Jason dreamed of meeting their respective Prince Charming and
Lady Love. But although they tried to pen their supposed soulmates
into their life script, their "perfect matches" always wandered off
the page. That's because God had a bigger, better story in mind.
Can dreams really foretell the winners of the Kentucky Derby and
the Super Bowl? One person who thinks so is author Hugh Mitchell,
who for many years combined a career as newspaper reporter and copy
editor with a passion for betting the horses based on dreams and
psychic messages. In this memoir he traces the history of horse
dreaming from an Irish journalist, a member of the House of Lords,
to an English electrical engineer who was so successful that he
named his house for a horse. Mitchell moves from Boston to the West
Coast, which he finds more receptive to ESP research. He tries
sports betting and is successful in three out of four major sports.
While some researchers encourage his quest, the author himself
worries about the ethics of using psychic ability for gambling. He
sits in on healing circles in Berkeley and Boston and enrolls in a
course on spiritual healing.
