Hollywood in general, and I in particular, have always been fascinated with time travel. And I love it when it deals with history, like "Timeline"

Romance, like "The Time Traveler's Wife"

Or even comedy like "Hot Tub Time Machine"

Yup...I think we all like the notion of somehow being able to get a second, third, or even fourth chance at something in our past.

So, of course, time travel is the perfect backdrop for teen angst romance, right? Get ready for "Time Freak." The film follows the story of Stillman, a brokenhearted physic genius who builds a time machine in order to fix his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Debbie.

What could go wrong? <g>

"Time Freak" hits theaters in November
