From Time to Time

From Time to Time is a small movie about time-travel and/or ghosts.  Echoes of the past and echoes of the future.  It's not really very good, but it's not awful.  It's all about a boy during WWII who has been sent to live with his grandmother in the country, at their family estate.  Sort of "Downton Abbey: The Next Generation".  In fact, it's written and directed by Julian Fellows and stars A LOT of the same people as Downton.  Maggie Smith is the grandmother, Hugh Bonneville the man of the house, the guy who plays Tom plays a groundskeeper, and his girlfriend is played by the woman who plays his teacher gf on Downton.  Dr. Clarkson shows up as a dinne guest.  Several other non-Downton people too;  McNulty from The Wire, the Red Witch from Game of Thrones, and several other people I couldn't place caught my eye.  Other than the people watching, it's just not that great.  Solid C.
