Timecrimes: The movie about the guy who wanted to look at boobs and ended up as a time-traveller

Timecrimes (Los cronocrímenes, 2007) is a quite original Spanish sci-fi movie by Nacho Vigalondo.

At the beginning of the movie, the main character Hector, who has just moved to the countryside with his wife, notices, via using his binoculars, a woman getting naked somewhere nearby. As soon as his wife leaves the house, he goes for a walk, looking for the naked beauty. However, a man with bandages on his head attacks him and chases him through the woods. Hector takes refuge at a nearby science lab, and he unwillingly becomes the subject of a time-travel experiment.

Apart from a few less logical scenes, this is quite an exciting movie, which has aquired international success.
  There is going to be an American remake of Timecrimes, in all probability by David Cronenberg.

The multiple award winnning movie was written and directed by Nacho Vigalondo, whose latest  sci-fi movie, Extraterrestrial (Extraterrestre, 2011), is about a couple witnessing an alien invasion. I will surely watch that one, too.

2018 - Year In Review

A short summary about writing and published works in 2018. My poems appeared in three English-language anthologies . The topics of these collections include empathy in art, the history of mankind, and the third anthology contains poems about the night sky. I also had some poems, haikus in one local magazine and a short poem in a local anthology (in Hungarian). I also started blogging again, posted some book reviews, and I also made some author interviews . (We interviewed each other with some local women writers.) In 2019, I'd like to have more poems published, and I'd also like to work on some new short stories.
