THE FILM THAT HAS EVERYONE WONDERING... WHAT IF?

Get ready for a dazzling mix of science fiction and political intrigue that will capture you with the question of, "What if?" What if President John F. Kennedy had never been assassinated? Timequest delivers an answer that will surprise and thrill!

When a time-traveller from the future journeys to the past to stop the assassination of JFK, the world embarks on an extraordinary new course of history. Bobby Kennedy seeks out those who attempted to kill his brother, Jackie Kennedy begins her own quest to learn the true identity of the man who saved her husbands life, and John F. Kennedy leads the country and the world into a new frontier...outward towards the stars.

What could have been comes alive in this unforgettable film experience that will reshape your views of reality in ways you never thought possible!

Extras:

• Bonus Trailers
• Scene Access

An interesting TV movie about what if the assassination of JFK was prevented. The movie jumps back and forth between the day the time travellor went back to to warn the president. The alternate present and other part of the alternate reality.
It takes a different route than the Red Dwarf episode with a similar premise did (I reviewed that one also in the past).

Beat the Devil, a review by addicted2dvd

Beat the Devil
A quartet of international crooks -- Peterson, O'Hara, Ross and Ravello -- is stranded in Italy while their steamer is being repaired. With them are the Dannreuthers. The six are headed for Africa, presumably to sell vacuum cleaners but actually to buy land supposedly loaded with uranium. They are joined by others who apparently have similar designs.

Stars:
Humphrey Bogart
Jennifer Jones
Gina Lollobrigida
Robert Morley
Peter Lorre

My Thoughts:
OK... I tried... honest I did. But I just could not get into this movie to save me. I found it extremely slow and boring. And with the stars that are in this movie I had expected at least a decent movie. But I found myself looking up at the clock to see how much more I had to endure so I could review this movie. After looking up to the clock about 10 times and seeing only half an hour gone by I knew I had to give this one up. There was just no way I felt I could get through it. I was either going to need to shut it off or I would have fallen asleep from boredom. Thank God I didn't spend any money on this DVD... as it was on of the free movies I got in that boxset for buying Total Movie magazine. I am feeling a little generous though... instead of rating this movie a zero... I will give it half a star. And this is do to no more then the fact that there is some great classic stars in this movie... so I will give it half a star for the star power in this movie alone.

My Thoughts:
While the flashbacks were good... this is another one that is no more then an average episode. I think it would have been better if they actually had Buffy in the episode.
