The Shallows (2016)
OMG
I started with such high hopes for this movie. At first I thought I was going to be a serious drama. But after it pulls you in, it slowly strips you away of any suspension of disbelief you have left until you're shaking head at the end wondering you just wast an hour and a half on this rubbish.
Blake was fine. Too bad the writer and director didn't take the movie as serious.
Runaway Divas (2004)
Sad but true
As it's said at the beginning of the movie... this is based on a true story. And if you know anyone who's tried to become a model, actor, writer or anything else in the entertainment field, you probably heard a story rather similar to the one in the movie. There has popped up a sea of vultures who have made way too much money feeding off the dreams of others and this movie has finally shown a spotlight on these crooks.
I wish that Runway Divas was far-fetched fiction, but no matter how outlandish the story seemed to get, I had no doubt that somewhere... sometime just this exact situation has probably taken place. Even though the filmmakers tried to show it's humorous side, the drama always slipped through and you really began to feel for all the poor shmucks that got suckered into making idiots of themselves.
Most of my experience with independent films have usually left me bored from a slow story about somebody trying to find themselves, but this film told us a story that has not yet been covered by traditional Hollywood. And that's what independent films are suppose to do.
