Twelve Monkeys (1995) starring Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, Brad Pitt. Directed by Terry Gilliam. This is a hard movie to grade, because so many viewers will have such varying reactions to it. I like this kind of movie in general, but found this one a bit disappointing this time around (this is about the third time I've seen it). For those who aren't familiar with it, it's a rather bizarre future noir in which time travel is used in an effort to save the remnants of Earth's population from a plague. Bruce Willis plays a convict who "volunteers" to travel back in time and try to find out what the origin of the plague was. Needless to say, there are convoluted time travel paradoxes involved, but it's all tied up rather neatly in the end. Grade: B
