Source Code (2011) - This is like a low budget, really hardcore sci fi movie that was... given a bigger budget. I liked it quite a bit, even though I don't know what a source code is and don't exactly understand what transpired.

The Pentagon has some sort of program where they can zap you in to a 9/11 type scenario and find a potential mad bomber before the actual event occurs, or something like that. That's the best I can do, sorry  ( I got a 440 on my math SAT. )

Anyway, Jake Gyllenhaal is the guy and he does his best to figure out who the mad bomber is. He stinks at it, which adds tension.

4.75/5 Reviews are mostly positive except a few 1/10's from people who just saw it's similarity to other movies and also didn't buy the science of it. They're not wrong, but it's beside the point.

The teacher confiscated it, ripped it up, and then called in the school custodian to ritually burn it (yes) in front of the class.

Not a book but I used to buy a rather not-for-kids comic called BRAIN DAMAGE, and made the mistake of taking it into school once to show some mates... got confiscated by my English teacher and never returned to me!

Well I hope that English teacher got a lot of enjoyment out of your property.

those alternate "likely higher" suggestions come in as the bottom three, so I'm not buying AI's attempt to spoil the fun just yet!

AI:

He caught me trying to play it safe with the "big names," but the "Middle Name Theory" is one of those rare areas where the "common" names actually lose to the "fillers."

Pass it on to him: "I stand corrected—the 'Waynes' and 'Lees' of the world are currently winning the statistical anomaly war!"

Saw a video over the weekend about the tragedy on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie.....

That was horrible. 😳

It still amazes me that John Landis got away with murder and worse: that his career continued successfully thereafter 😳😳

THE BRIDE!: In the 1930s, a gangster's moll is killed after Mary Shelley's foul-mouthed spirit possesses her and insults important men; soon after, Frankenstein's monster convinces a mad scientist to animate her dead body as a mate for him, and the pair go on a Bonnie & Clyde style crime spree. Maggie Gyllenhaal's wild and uneven feminist horror-comedy stitches together absurdism and realism with a lack of discipline that comes from an overabundance of passion, just the way a cult film should; if nothing else, THE BRIDE! confirms that Jessie Buckley is the finest actress working today. 3.5/5.
