Waking Madison (movie review)

http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Waking_Madison/70121717?trkid=496624 

A difficult movie to review really, because technically it is excellent, the acting was superb, especially for Roemer the main character, Shue is as always top as are the rest [Patton & Conroy (6 feet under fame!)]. As for depicting the factual psychological disorder, the credibility is like swiss cheese. I suppose for the plot to be exciting some false stereotypes needed to be included? I just wish it had been done "right" instead of sacrificing truth for drama. The concept of the movie & how it was presented are phenomenal, perfectly done & viewers are better off going in cold, with no set idea or expectations (phone sex not part of movie at all, etc). No reason at all for the R rating, any teen could easily see this. No nudity, language issues, one hinted at sex scene (only see her face), all things most kids see on TV or games daily. Definitely worth the watch, rented or streamed, though not worth buying, sorry.

Review of Hide and Seek movie

Daryl Hannah did her best acting in this, as did Tilly & Greenwood, but Gallo's acting was awful most of the time. There were serious credibility issues, such as why didn't Anne take Helen's truck at the tractor store, or when she left the farm house originally, why didn't she lock them in the basement or lock herself into that van? There would be no movie if any of these questions had logical answers. The crazy ending is NOT credible or shown, we're shown one thing (Tilly shooting Anne), then something else entirely (Tilly in body bag, how, when & why?) turns out to be the end--no explanation at all? Some of Tilly's acting was OVER acted, the hospital scene definitely not credible on any level, nor were the police scenes. Yet the movie was still compelling, though I did check the time hoping it would end sooner. The movie's ending is in the last 2-3 minutes, as if someone said "Oops we have 2 minutes, better make up an ending". I doubt I'd recommend this even free on cable.
