The Resort (2021)
Stupid Stupid Stupid
Only reason why it gets 2 stars instead of 1 is because it looks like Michael Vlamis was actually putting in an effort.
The characters are so stupid they don't bring a map or any supplies to this mysterious haunted island. Lex gets mad at her boyfriend (?) because he doesn't bring her backpack with them. Why didn't she remember her own dang backpack? And then they worry they might die but another character argues no we got flashlights. Oh and they have to spend a bunch of time at a waterfall even though their own point of going was to see the resort for their friend whose birthday it was but she doesn't get a vote.
Nothing is explained and it's just random sexual innuendos and cliches thrown together to try and make a movie and they can't even stretch it out to 90 minutes.
In the Heart of the Sea (2015)
Very well done. Worth the price of the ticket even if the second half got choppy.
I enjoyed it. I like Chris Hemsworth and it looked like an exciting story. And it definitely was. It got my heart pumping and made me cry out once or twice during the storm scenes when the ship was being thrown around. I liked the cabin boy (thomas) quite a bit and was even sympathetic towards the Captain who knew he wasn't doing his best at times but determined to prove himself. Chris Hemsworth is a very heroic actor and so he plays that part of the character well but there were two scenes (when saying goodbye to his friends and then when he thought he saw his father) when he came off a little too wooden and sounded awkward. But besides that he held up and I was swooning quite a bit at his looks. I cried when the first whale was killed and gagging when Thomas went into the whale carcass for more oil. With that said I feel like the second half dragged and while I want to watch it again maybe later today I'll probably only watch the first half and then skip the second. Bravo for the diversity as well. There were two black characters on the ship and only one died! I can't remember his name but to be fair I remember Owen and Thomas and that is about it.
No Surrender (2011)
Bad but not terrible
This is a generous two because I appreciate that they were trying to bring awareness and a sense of survival to domestic abuse and because the sex scene is hot. Otherwise I found the acting bad, the plot a little hard to believe, dialog cheesy and characterization eye roll worthy. The best friend is the bad guy. There was no hint of that whatsoever and for a twist her motives were not a hundred percent clear. Her husband threw a lamp at her so technically she did kill him in self defense. It was nice that they portrayed the fact that women do abuse men but it should have been done better. But is was a TV movie so it is my fault for expecting more.
