Shut In (2015)
Welcomed surprise
I randomly saw this movie while watching TV at home. I was pleasantly surprised. The plot was engaging and twisted. Remind you, I had not seen the trailer and knew nothing about it. I laughed so hard each time timid, petite little Anna annihilated one of those douche bags. I rooted for the female protagonist and she turned out to be quite the twisted little badass. And crazy as heck, but somehow, you still sympathize with her. Once she gets the upper hand its on! I loved the look on each one of those jerks faces when she pummeled them. That basement with all of its hidden quirks was also entertaining. For a channel surfing movie, it Rocked!
Love Everlasting (2016)
Predictable and anticlimactic
As others have noted, this film is fatally lacking in plot and character development. It's extremely predictable and anticlimactic. To start off, we are supposed to believe this 6'2 platinum blonde Ken doll is somehow a loser who magically falls for the town outcast. Next, suspense is built around his girlfriends mysterious scar earning her the nickname "scarface", yet I've seen acne that looked worse. The entire story is centered around Blue, although his character lacks depth and intrigue, he barely has any lines, and spends most of the time pouting and smizing at the camera. Midway through the film, there are several long and awkward kissing scenes between the two (oddly named) main characters, who have about as much chemistry as I have with my pet. Finally, there is an arc about the main character having had a heart transplant, although he doesn't die and absolutely nothing comes of this, so might I ask, what was the point? It ends with Blue looking gorgeous in a skillfully tailored and very expensive suit, which solidified the subtext of this film. Actors need to embody the character. Giving a supermodel a strange name doesn't somehow turn him into a brooding, tortured soul.
