Take Me to the River (2015)
Frustrating
I was enthralled by the movie, and had my guesses as to what was going on, but I was completely let down at the end. Ryder's family were more worried about "keeping the peace" instead of standing up for their own son? I get a lot of Californians are wanting peace, but really? The dad wasn't even interested in it, except to say he doesn't want violence. First off, I would never have let my 17 year old, gay or not, go off with a 9 year old alone. That's asking for trouble. What parents do not open up to their son when he is being molested by a 9 year old and never seems to understand what's going on? The uncle was way too bi-polar! I'm sorry, but you don't go from accusing a 17 year old of molestation to "hey, let's be buddies." I understand there was a feeling of unease the director wanted to give the audience, but at least explain at some point what is going on. It would have better served the audience if at least the uncle or the mother explained it better than, "It was her idea."
Some Kind of Hate (2015)
Kind of felt like a Disney Star reunion
I didn't think this was a horrible movie, but I could feel that this was an attempt for some of the Disney stars try to break away from their previous "goody goody" roles that they are well known for. I can say that at least the acting was much better here than it was there. It is interesting to me to see what direction these guys go in order to escape from the company. I'm interested in seeing what the future holds for them. I just hope they do not go crazy as we have seen in the past. Otherwise, the movie to me seemed alright, albeit a little slow paced. There could have been more character development in the protagonist. I also felt the "cheerleader" wasn't really believable. I don't see a person like that trying to see what it is like to be the victim. When we first meet her, she is hugging up to a bully, yet she says she hates them. Does anyone else see a problem with this?
