Mike Jittlov's The Wizard of Speed and Time

Talk about a blast from the past.


Mike Jittlov, a.k.a. The Wizard

I walked into Hollywood Video (on Mass Ave here in Cambridge) and the crew had Mike Jittlov's The Wizard of Speed and Time on the flatscreens.

I was at a loss for words. Really, just like I was almost 20 years ago when I first saw it, I was drawn in emotionally. It's such a goofy, fun and well made low-budget movie. Tons of charm. It captures the feeling of early '80s Hollywood dominated by Lucas and Spielberg.

If you haven't seen it, seek it out. You'll fall for the darn thing, too.

And check out Mike's site, Wizworld.com. There you'll find the trailer.

Sure wish this was available on DVD.
