An aging, out-of-work actress accepts one last job, though the consequences of her decision affect her in ways she didn't consider. I've been wanting to check this movie out of sheer curiosity.

Rental Pick: Time Lapse (2014)
I saw this back in October when the film was screened at Twin Cities Film Festival. This film is yet another proof one does not need a big budget to create a compelling film, and a tight script certainly goes a long way. Time Lapse isn't a time travel per se, not in the traditional …
