DVD reVIEW: Back To The Future

This past weekend, I watched Back To The Future for the first time.  In this tragic coming of age tale, hero BiffTannen (Thomas F. Wilson) is tormented by his childhood rival George McFly (Crispin Glover).  The 25 year old movie starts off in the then current year of 1985. As George McFly's supervisor, Tannen is constantly having to go over to McFly's house to follow up on George's sloppy work habits.  George McFly's son, Marty, hangs out with a crazy white haired mad scientist, Dr. Emmett  Brown, (Christopher Lloyd) that keeps inventing useless things.  Through a freak accident, Dr. Brown invents a time machine in the shape of a car (1978 Ford Pinto).


Marty steals the time machine from Dr. Brown and proceeds to travel back to 1955 to ruin Biff's life.  The junior McFly prevents his mother from falling in love with a young gentlemanly Biff.  In addition, Marty vandalises Biff's new car.  After ensuring Biff's future will be in shambles, Marty travels back to 1985 to rub it inBiff's face.  The movie ends with Dr. Brown pulling up in the pinto yelling at Marty and his girlfriend to get in.  The car starts to fly in the air and proceeds to travel through time with "To Be Continued" displaying on the screen. 


In Back To The Future 2, I predict that Biff was wearing a "Doctor Brown" mask in the last scene of the 1st Back To The Future.  He is probably taking Marty and Jennifer back to 1955 to take care of business!  I guess I will know next weekend.
