Time and Tide

Great acting, well directed, and a beautifully shot film this is. A bit of hope in an ever confusing modern world. A perfect balance between art, characters and story. The type of film Hollywood will never make, but the type of film making that should never die. Touching, thought provoking and real. A true slice of life. Keep an eye on the lead actor who plays Rob. That guy is going to be a star. An everyman, most of us can relate to as he navigates the Los Angeles dating scene with common sense in the midst of the 'loopy' for lack of a better word. Five beautiful actress to boot. Each plays a truly believable character. What more could you want?

Awesome film by Micar Productions! Very artistic way of following the love affairs of one man in L.A. Flashes from past to present keep you into the plot from start to finish. My favorite part of this movie by far is the music. The spunky and fun songs match the action perfectly and create a lively tone for the film. Superb acting by the character Rob makes you forget this isn't a real life story. His passionate and sincere approach on the screen portrays the modern man struggling in relationships and having a hard time finding love perfectly. Great acting, outstanding score, and another hit from Carvaines make this independent film unforgettable.

Time and Tide is a combination of a fun date movie and a bit of "Swingers" like guy flick. When Rob (Christopher Heltai) is talking on the rooftop with one of his buddies, he goes over the dilemma of how do you know when a relationship is over or if "this is it". Rob asks if there is one person out there for us or many? I think many of us can identify with that - most of us had a high school sweetheart or a college girlfriend/boyfriend that if paths had gone differently, you could have married down the road.

It's great seeing Rob's character go through the ups and downs of the different girls he has dated in the past and tries to determine whether or not the beautiful Christina (Nadia Angelini) is the girl for him. She is such a great match for Rob, and has you rooting for her throughout the movie.

Great scenery of many vintage spots in Los Angeles too. Locals will recognize cool bars and locations throughout. Two thumbs up for Michael Carvaines and his latest film!

I have to agree with the other reviewers here.

Rob (played by Chrstopher Heltai) is really great in this role, and definitely has star potential written all over him.

The soundtrack is very unique, It must be all original.

I thought the film captured the essence of relationships very well, ( at least from a guys' point of view)

I think Michael Carvaines did a good job here. That Pedro dude was funny too.

worth watching again! Cherly Tsai is great also, very believable.

Have a good one Y'all!
