12 Monkeys
(1995)
Huh! Joseph Melito, who plays young James Cole here, looks a lot like Chandler Lindauer, who played young Butch a year earlier.I've been thinking for a long time that I'd like to see this again, and a free trial of a zillion premium channels this weekend gave me the easy opportunity. I vaguely recalled it as futuristic and dystopic, but I had no idea when I sat down to it tonight that it's about a man who goes into the past in an effort to improve his present by preempting a disaster, then gets blindsided by love, which, as harmonics would have it, also describes the excellent novel I'm just about to finish.
