AFM is just a day away and we found time to bring you one more hilarious, romantic comedy: Wingman, Inc.

When Bobby Tomkins’s girlfriend dumps him, he loses hope and stops going out which puts a damper on his friends’ love lives. When they open his eyes to his extraordinary wingman skills, he and his friends start a business helping needy people find love which in turn helps pay for his struggling pet psychiatry practice and pay off his ever increasing amounts of debt.

Although jaded by his break up, Bobby himself finds love again when he meets Kristy, whom is fresh off a break up herself. They help heal the others wounds and start to fall in love until they find out that they’ve been competing against each other all along as Kristy runs her own business as a professional man blocker.

Found in Time

...filmed with an Aronofsky touch but had the feel of Christopher Nolan’s Memento… — TrulyDisturbing.com

Found In Time takes place in an “altered” present-day New York City. Psychics with real powers sell their “wares” on the street, marginalized by society and closely monitored by the dreaded Psychological Police Corp (the “Psycops”). They lead dark, lonely lives, plagued as much as helped by their gifts.

One of those small gems, which without seeming like much do transport the viewer into their own crazy and delirious worlds. – Gaetan Cala, Fantastic Movies

Chris is a psychic “collector.” He compulsively picks up the things most of us throw away or forget — pens, coins, lighters, keys, stones, and other trash — and sells them to passersby. But every object he picks today will have meaning for someone in the future.

If you like intellectual science fiction, I would highly recommend seeking out this film. — Geek News Network

His gift comes with a big downside, however — he experiences his life out of order, “slipping” between the past, present and future. Chris tries to live a “regular” existence, and struggles to get his “slippage” under control.

But when he commits murder in the future, he realizes he has to alter his present in order to prevent it. But how can he do this when he’s not even sure of when he is?
