The Bay Plot: Chaos breaks out in a small Maryland town after an ecological disaster occurs. Trailer Review: One of the best epidemic movies I've seen and THE best found footage movie I've ever seen. The Oscar winning director was able to put different recording mediums together that actual made sense, added to the story, and came from the plot rather than just using it as a gimmick. More than that, he actually works with home video camera, digital cameras, iPhones, and more rather than just using more expensive cameras than making them look like found footage. The plot is based in actual scientific facts that he acquired while filming a documentary about the Chesapeake Bay. The result is a tense, intelligent, well acted, brilliant piece a horror cinema. Why this movie didn't blow up like other indie horror gems like Paranormal Activity I will never know. This is a must see. Rating: Epic! Watch with: Outbreak & Paranormal Activity.
Playing for Keeps 2012 Heartfelt Sports Rom Com Trailer Plot: A former sports star who's fallen on hard times starts coaching his son's soccer team as a way to get his life together. His attempts to become an adult are met with challenges from the attractive soccer moms who pursue him at every turn Review: More like playing for tears. This film tried to be a tearjerker when it was better off as a comedy. Those comedic moments were the only good parts about this movie. The pacing was slow and there was no character development. This could've been a good movie if either of 3 things happened. 1. They had actual flashbacks when Biel & Butler were married so you would understand their relationships & characters better. 2. They dropped the love story with the ex wife from plot to subplot and concentrated the story on a character driven story line about an messed up former pro soccer player trying to get his life back together. or 3. Hired someone other than Biel as the ex wife. Butler was good and Biel wasn't bad at crying or anything, but it was always as if she was never really looking into Butler's eyes, like she was looking past him. He was trying, but she wasn't connecting with him at all. Rating: Stamped Out so why bother? Watch instead: Bend It Like Beckham if you want a sports movie with a little love on the side, Remember the Titans if you want a heart wrenching sports film about a great coach, or Ghosts of Girlfriends Past if you want a romance about a messed up ex finally getting his act together.
