(HORROR) Devoured - 2012 ***



Not a bad movie. A young mother is working in America to earn enough money to send back to her mother to pay for her son's operation. She works the night shift cleaning in a restaurant and finds the work boring and demeaning, as well as come across some unpleasant characters who try to take advantage of her. Before long she starts to see things that aren't there in the dead of night, alone in the restaurant, and is unsure whether she is going mad or not. Lead actress was a good choice.

(HORROR) The Resident - 2011 ***


Tough, no nonsense Hilary Swank stars as Juliet, a young woman who moves into what she believes is her perfect apartment after breaking up with her cheating boyfriend, but soon starts to believe that she is being stalked by somebody close by. At the same time, Max, the man she is renting the apartment from begins to make his feelings for her known, and the couple get closer. But there is something wrong, and when Juliet decides to start seeing her ex-boyfriend again, Max is not happy. Not happy at all.
I quite liked this, but found it dragged on a bit after the first hour or so. It was quite predictable and that might be what made my mind wander towards the end. Still a good watch though.

Spring Breakers - 2013 **


Trying to justify this film is a waste of time. Its a pointless film about pointless people. It shows the world for the bleak place it is. Four girls, desperate to go on spring break but unable to secure the funds to do so end up holding up a store at gunpoint. The partying, casual sex and smoking goes ahead but only for a limited time as the girls are soon arrested for their crimes and only saved when a dangerous drug addict named 'Alien' bails them out.
This film basically highlights what is wrong with America and society in general. Awful film.

Come September - 1971


A nice easy going film. Rock Hudson plays a wealthy playboy who retreats to his beautiful mansion in Italy for one month in September a year. During this time he meets up with his gorgeous fling Lisa then goes back to America with no ties or restrictions. This time however, he comes to Italy early, and finds that his girlfriend is on the verge of getting married, and his mansion has been transformed into a hotel. Things are about to get a lot more chaotic than he could ever imagine.
Very funny, Rock Hudson is always good for a laugh.
