All of Rachel McAdam's films are...ABOUT TIME


Okay, not all Rachel McAdams films have to do with time, just most of them.

Case in point is the 2004 adaption of the hugely popular book by Nicolas Sparks....


Yup, apparently she looks good in rain. In THE NOTEBOOK, she loses time to the devastating disease of Alzheimers, getting  her memories back when  her husband reads to her about her life...



Then....Deja Vous, it happens again in...

THE VOW (2012)
where she losses her memory in a car accident. Weird similarities do no stop there, she is a repressed artist in both movies, Her lovers played so finely by Ryan Gosling and Channing Tatum aren't deemed good enough by her families, but in both movies, love conjure all....



In THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE, not so much...


based on the popular novel by Audrey Niffenegger...


Adams is not who battles with time but her husband, played by Eric Banna, who has no control over his time travel and  is ripped from those he loves in a moment and hurled somewhere else with no control. It does not go well...

Domhnall Gleesoon, who is better know for being the older brother of Ron Weasley in HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, has a better control of time in McAdams most recent offering...

ABOUT TIME (2013)

though he can only go back as far as the birth of his child to the determent of his family. The ability is passed from father and son and the movie is all Brit with Bill Nighy, also a Harry Potter alum and the crustacean villian from THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN'S CHEST, Davy Jones, as his father, who tries to teach his son all he knows about the family's secret ability, before his time runs out...


According to Rachel McAdams IMDB.com page , she will be starring in the Spy Thriller ....


in 2014 and has some more projects in post production, but I think  it is ONLY A MATTER OF TIME, until we see her again  in her favorite genre. Has anyone used that title yet?
