My Daughter's Secret (2007)
Watch if you have a little time to waste
For those of you familiar with the beautiful city of Ottawa, you will at least get to see some recognizable sites in this film. That is the highlight of this film for me as it was entirely predictable with mediocre acting. The character of the daughter is just downright irritating and annoying and viewers might just want to reach through their television screens and throttle her because of her stupidity. The only other redeeming quality of this film are the cameos by those outstanding Canadian actors, Sophie Gendron and Benz Antoine. As I have to add another two lines before this gets posted, I must say that I am probably being generous by giving this film 3 out of 10.
Lie with Me (2005)
Sexual titillation but little else
This movie had some titillating moments but was generally a waste of time. The male lead came across as a complete neanderthal which made it difficult to understand why the female lead was so obsessed with him. The two lead characters were not very likable which in and of itself doesn't make for a bad movie but there is little reason given in this film as to how they turned out this way or why we should care about what happens to them. The only moments in the film that provided any depth into either of the lead characters were when they were with their fathers. Unfortunately, those moments were far too few though. This movie was about the explicit sex more than anything else and that is not a formula for a compelling movie.
