If you’re interested in the idea of toxic relationship cycles that repeat themselves but thought Betrand Bonello’s The Beast rather lumbering and arthouse, then you might find Alice Lowe’s Timestalker hits the spot. In it she tackles the same topic with considerably more comedic snap and crackle not to mention a fair amount of electropop.
We meet Lowe’s Agnes first in 1688 Scotland, along with a small coterie of other characters who we will go on to re-encounter in subsequent centuries. Appropriately, and in a move that shows Lowe can be subtle and in your face simultaneously, this has become known as The Killing Time in Scotland, marking a conflict between the Covenanter movement and the government. Spinster Meg is heading out for a jolly day at an execution when, just moments before she meets the first of her own sticky ends, she falls hook, line and sinker for.

It’s hard to believe today, after Speed and four Matrix movies, and four John Wick movies, but there
was a time when Keanu Reeves was not considered viable as an action star, especially after his portrayal
of lovable time-traveling doofus Ted Theodore Logan in Bill & Ted’S Excellent Adventure.
But that perception radically changed in 1991 with the adrenaline extravaganza Point Break, which
featured Reeves as an FBI agent hot on the trail of some bank-robbing surfers led by Patrick Swayze. But how exactly did this preposterous combination ever reach the beach? Grab your board and catch a wave as we find out Wtf Happened to this movie!
The idea for Point Break first surfaced in the mind of filmmaker Rick King [The Killing Time] after he
saw a newspaper article declaring Los Angeles as the bank-robbing capital of America thanks to the
getaway convenience provided by the city’s numerous freeways.
