     Premonition
2007  PG-13  FANTASY  1h 36min
CAST— Sandra Bullock, Julian McMahon, Nia Long, Kate Nelligan, Amber Valletta, Peter Stormare
MUSIC— Klaus Badelt  DIRECTOR— Mennan Yapo

     An odd, uneven little tale solely designed to make you go “huh?”. Sandra Bullock plays a lonely housewife living a life of boring routine. Her world is shattered one Wednesday upon hearing that her husband has been killed in an auto accident. The next day she is amazed to find him eating breakfast in their kitchen, as if he had never been decapitated by a semi. The next day he’s dead again. The next alive. Huh? So goes the pattern in Bullock’s life as she desperately tries to unravel the mystery surrounding this unusual week (what an understatement). Try to keep up with the many flashbacks and -forwards in this confusing albeit entertaining dramatic fantasy. Final note: though the title of the film is Premonition nary a premonition is to be found within. Huh.
OUR RATING— ** ½
