Crush (2013)
Decent movie, as good as some feature films.
I really liked this movie. The acting wasn't campy or over the top. It was respectful and didn't contain a lot of vulgarity or foul language, and it had a nice plot twist. It's worth watching.
The Monster (2016)
Seems like an allegory for the opiate epidemic currently seizing the United States.
For those of you who didn't pick up on it, remember the scene when the little girl's mom and her boyfriend grill her about something they are missing and then her mom smacks her across the head after the boyfriend grabs what appears to be pills from something sitting right next to the little girl? Has anyone else ever heard of an addiction referred to as a monster? Doesn't it strike anyone else as a little odd that n the plot of this "monster movie" is incredibly simplistic and that before killing him the monster takes a mans arm (which is where a person typically injects heroin). Not to mention that the monster kills ever adult it goes after. The only one who survives is the little girl, who is someone who we see cleaning up her mother's beer bottles and trying to get her mother up out of bed near the beginning of the movie. I really enjoyed this movie because it made me think more than most do.
