Dirty Little Secret (2022)
Were they trying to mimic What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
Now I've seen Lifetime movies imitate Single White Female, and now they're taking elements from What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Girl (Lucy) has a mother who can't stop hoarding, causing her to be distant from having a life of her own, and won't let anyone know about it. That sounds a lot like Gilbert Grape to me.
I hate to say it, but Lucy is pretty dumb to not call 911 out of fear of the secret becoming public. At least Lucy prevented her mother from being a joke to the world by setting their house on fire. I wonder where they got that from.
I love Melissa Joan Hart, but I think she can do better than this one.
Trance (2010)
"Just say no to drugs" does not apply.
I was searching for movies On Demand one night and found this one. It seemed interesting and I decided to check it out.
Four friends are picking out their Halloween costumes, when they're invited to a rave by a very beautiful girl named Laura, played by Dominique Swain. Laura gives them a drug that turns them into psychotic killers. The drug only works on women though. There's not much else to the story. If there is, I won't spoil anything (not that there is anything interesting to spoil anyway). I just think that things could have been better, such as added depth.
The acting was mediocre. That, along with a lot of the scenes were just dull. From the way the killings were executed, I figure that they were trying to mimic what was in Zombie Strippers, only without people turning into zombies.
Despite how dull most of the movie was, I actually think it's worth seeing. Is it decent to watch around Halloween if you have nothing to do? Yes. Is it an Oscar winner? Not even close.
