A Family Lost (2007)
Like an expert fisherman, this one delivers a fine cast!
On its way to Alaska, a small plane crashes in the wilderness, leaving a mother, daughter, and creepy stranger to fend for themselves until help arrives. But the girl is diabetic and out of insulin. And the stranger seems nice, but...is he? Some form of help eventually arrives but is it really the kind of help they were looking for? You will notice many familiar faces and superb actors. You have the beautiful Cynthia Gibb (Short Circuit II!!!!), the talented girl actor Nicole Munoz, and also the amazing Daniel Roebuck (Cliff from Matlock!!).
The characters are built at a palatable pace, through dialog sprinkled with humor, wit, and drama. The facial expressions too are well-delivered, which is important in a movie where you aren't sure who to trust. Recommended if you like Lifetime movies. 8 out of 10!!
Holiday in Handcuffs (2006)
Clarissa Goes S&M
A desperate young waitress named Trudie takes a handsome stranger hostage, with the intention of flaunting him as her boyfriend at her family's snow-covered cabin for the holidays.
Sprinkled with clever quips, and hilarious bits of tastefully placed adult humor, this movie succeeds in highlighting many of the deep archetypes of your typical family with grown-up "kids" - who are in their 20's and so are really adults, yet have to answer to the ever-appraising (and ever-loving) eyes of their parents.
The direction of the plot plays out like the tried-and-true holiday storyline, but it is variegated with modern flourishes and hilarious dialog. Altogether, this is a heart-warming and knee-slapping enjoyable watch.
