some bits of my new job: pre-movie criticism

Burrows, a neurotic ex-cop, and Siri, a jaded insurance investigator, try to get to the bottom of a series of unfortunate and improbable incidents while trailed by a documentary filmmaker. A road trip brings them closer together and gives the profiling genius a chance to catch the killer he failed to catch before.
Cosmological references abound and chronology is eschewed as the lives of Michael, an awkward astronomer, and Caroline, a mysterious French photographer, are twisted apart by fate and coincidence. A strong twist ending reveals a ghostly overlap between two lovers at the same place but at a different time.
Sadie Blake, a nosy reporter, vows revenge after a gang of vampires turns her into one of their own. She tracks them down and kills them one by one with the help of a policeman mourning his daughter's death by fangs.
