Cracks (2009)
Very different than the synopsis depicts.
I am a big fan of Eva Green, so jumped at a chance to see a flick of hers I hadn't seen before. The story is engaging, and well acted on all parts, but it is not a tale of a consensual affair, and had Eva Green's character been played by a man instead, I believe the synopsis would be much different, as would the average review. This is a story about a teacher who becomes obsessed with an approx. 13 year old student and molests her in her sleep, not an affair. This is a story about child molestation. There is little to go on by the cover, one would assume that the student is late high school age at least and had consented and been seduced. No. Not at all. Were someone who had been molested to see this movie without knowing its true nature, I think it could be traumatic.
The Box (2009)
2 hour ripoff of a Twilight zone Episode
'The Box' is 2 hour rip off of a 30 minute episode of The Twilight Zone titled 'Push the Button'. Everything is exactly the same save for the dollar amount received if you push the button. The box merely upped the amount from $200,000 to a million dollars. I guess the screenwriter for 'The Box' took in account inflation, but the moral quandary is the same. You can save yourself an hour and a half of useless filler by watching The Twilight Zone episode online, and give a finger to lazy Hollywood writers regurgitating other people's ideas. I know that coming up with original ideas is difficult but it seems that they aren't even trying anymore.
