Premonition

In Kurt Vonnegut's classic novel, Slaughterhouse Five, his hero Billy Pilgrim becomes "unstuck in time," haphazardly waking up in different periods of his life. In Premonition, Sandra Bullock's second recent time-shift romantic drama (see last June's The Lake House), her character, Linda Hanson, becomes "unstuck in time" in the Vonnegut sense, but only within one week of her life. She wakes up to find her husband has been killed in a car crash only to fall asleep and wake up several days before the event. She then falls back to sleep and wakes up several days after, then before, then after, and so on. You get the wearying picture.
