Between (2015)
Gets Better in Season 2
I watched the first season of this show and I thought it was dumb. My biggest gripe would be the casting choices. They were casting people who looked way older than the ages they were playing and age was a big factor in this show. I also didn't understand how the teacher was 21 and completed her masters. Somehow she completed college, received her masters, and got a job at or before age 21. That seemed a bit weird to me. I did like how they had different stories being told and how these stories connected. I didn't like however when they would take a break from a story. Mike escaped from jail and I think it took them a full episode to bring him back into the show. The female prison guard was obviously older than 21 and they even eluded to that, but they never explained how she survived. I think the plot was a cool idea, but the casting and sometimes the writing took away from it. Season two; however, was a lot better. I enjoyed it a lot more, but they made me hate a lot of characters like Franny and Harris. Also a bit confused as to why they killed Gord off. I thought it was a good season, but the ending was a bit weird. I don't know what they are going to do in season three. I just feel like they could have ended this season better.
Shark Lake (2015)
You Get What You Expected
I came in with very low expectations and they were just about met. I was just browsing Netflix and thought I would give this a try. The reviews didn't seem good and the plot didn't seem all that great. Not the worst movie I have watched, but it was definitely up there. The story just didn't make any sense. Somehow Dolph Lundgren had a bull shark in the back of his van. At least I am assuming that is how the shark got in the lake. I don't understand how the shark was in the back of the van with no water and it seemed to be sitting there for a while. Then the first guy that was killed was killed in an inch of water. The water didn't even go up to the guy's heel and somehow the shark killed him. Basically all the shark kills, besides the BBC guy and his cameraman were in water that was way to shallow for that big of a shark to be in. Also, somehow three sharks went undetected for five years in this lake. I think they said it was like a 20,000 square lake or something, but still you would expect at least one person to be attacked by one of three sharks in 5 years. I did not like the actress. I did not think she did that good of a job. I thought the doctor might have been the best in this so I was pretty sad when he died especially because the lady detective had a gun and for some reason didn't shoot the shark that went after him. Dolph Lundgren was pretty good, the sheriff was good and the BBC guy was good for the short time he was there. I also don't understand how they caught the crime boss. They never showed him being caught so I have no clue why he was arrested. The only thing that would have made this worse is if at the end of the movie they showed another shark in the lake teasing a sequel. I totally thought that was going to be the ending. Also, does a lake like this exist in Nevada? This totally looks like an ocean and not a lake.
Four Brothers (2005)
Confusing Plot
Did they ever reveal why the mother was killed? They kept saying it was a hit, but I don't think they ever said why someone put a hit on her. Also, her death totally did not look like a hit. It looked like two guys came in to rob a convenience store and she was shot because she was there and was a witness. It seemed like the two robbers didn't know she was actually in the store until she gasped after seeing them shoot the clerk. I don't want to go back and watch the movie again to find out because it was not a movie that I would go back and re-watch. I thought the movie was good until I realized that the plot did not make a whole lot of sense. Maybe they did reveal why there was a hit on her, but to me, the movie did not make it clear enough. Probably would not have paid much attention to the movie, while watching it, if not for Mark Wahlberg and Andre 3000.
Hush (2016)
Well thought out movie
This movie was really good. Didn't expect much going into it, just saw it was added on Netflix, so I gave it a try. I would have rated it higher, but I did not like the ending. Maddie definitely should have died and should not have been able to get up and take a seat on the front steps. It would have been great to have an ending where a police officer shows up to the house and finds four bodies with two of them lying next to each other and trying to figure out what the hell happened. Good movie, I just wish the girl who lost a good amount of her blood and who had basically all of the bones in her hand broken died.
