My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Timer (2009)

I streamed this from Netflix and was delightfully surprised.  A science fiction romantic comedy that explores the complexities of love.  What if you had a timer on your wrist that told you when you'd meet your soul mate?  That's what this clever little movie proposes with a plot structure familiar to Sense and Sensibilities.  Emma Caulfield proves she's a talent beyond her role of Anya on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I hope because of this film we get to see more of her.  Certainly a B-movie but a good one.  Grade: B+.
