Virtual Lies - 2012 **

'Virtual Lies' is what happens when sad, middle aged men who are bored in their marriages find solace in chatting to women online. This is what happens to Jamie when her husband Will gets drawn into the shadowy world of cyber-chatting to a woman named Allison. When his wife finds out, Will decides to stop speaking to Allison, but she has other ideas and won't let him go that easily.

Mediocre film. 

(HORROR) When the Lights went out - 2012 **

Well when the lights went out I very nearly fell asleep. I genuinely thought this might be a scary film after all the excellent reviews and praise that had been lavished on it upon it's release. I understand people want a film to show a gradual build-up of tension, but this was so slow by the time anything happened it just wasn't scary. A light kept swinging backwards and forwards and a family walk around a house swearing at each other and slapping their daughter. That's about it. Even towards the end it's so predictable. Sorry, two thumbs down from me.

(HORROR) Broken - 2006 *

 

 

'Broken' is certainly not a film to watch if you are pregnant or trying to be. It's very gruesome and can be quite upsetting in some scenes. Yet again though (like the above movie) the acting is really bad and it completely spoils the production. It was very slow as well and took about an hour to really get going. Even then nothing much happened out of the ordinary. Not worth your time. 

(NOIR) The Reckless Moment - 1949 ***

I actually thought this was a very mediocre film. It was slow and nothing much seemed to happen until the last few minutes which resulted in a bizarre and slightly over-the-top climax. Joan Bennett was very frumpy and I found her performance to be less than average. James Mason as the blackmailer turned good guy was about the only saving grace of the whole thing. A jumbled mistake that I wish I hadn't watched.
