A Dozen Primates

12 Monkeys  (1995)

I love Sci-Fi movies. Especially one's that mix crazy people and time travel. It's such a genius combination. The first time I watched this film I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Which is how movies are normally supposed to work but in my case rarely do.

 I do find that I have to be in a certain kind of mood to watch it. I've also never been a big fan of Bruce Willis or Brad Pitt but find myself enjoying them in this film. The female counterpart tends to get on my nerves quite a bit, I find it hard to enjoy a lot of actresses. Maybe it's the parts written for them? I dunno.

I'm also always a big fan of the flashback scenes in films that connect and come together at the end of the movie. It's pretty amazing how people can tella story with film and make us, even if just for a moment, believe that time travel would actually be possible. 

 Brad Pitt plays crazy almost too well and I want to know how he kept one eye larger than the other. He never broke character and I'm pretty sure that it would be a pretty difficult role to play. Difficult but fun. 

The soundtrack to this movie is perfect. I loved the quirky score that accompanies so many of the pivotol scenes. It keeps the mood with a strange sort of feeling but doesn't creep you out enough to make you feel like you're watching a horror film, like some sci-fi tend to do.
