Femme Fatale
Femme Fatale, released in 2002
was not received well, despite a few high-profile critics giving it a great
review. Starting out with a exciting heist and double cross, the story takes a
weird turn towards doppelgangers and stolen identities. Our femme fatale and self-proclaimed
'bad girl' of the title was full of intrigue. If the film had continued towards
an actual conclusion and not the cliche dream switch at the end, this could
have been a hit. 2/5
The Broken Hearts Gallery
As Rom-Coms go, this wasn't too bad. It was something different in the sense it was about a woman who wanted to open her own gallery and the main guy was trying to open a boutique hotel (whatever that is), both creative, both entrepreneurs. Also the love interest angle could be seen a mile off but wasn't fully addressed until their relationship had reached the 'greats friends' milestone. The main reason to watch this is for Geraldine Viswanathan who is a delight, despite her character being very annoying and pathetic to begin with. 3/5
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile
After watching a few documentaries on Netflix about serial killers I naturally gravitated towards this film. Thankfully this wasn't a gruesome play by play of Ted Bundy's crimes. Being based on Elizabeth Kloepfer's memories this was a very different look at the lead up to Bundy's arrest and trial. Zac Efron is superb as the killer, he got the charismatic unsettling psycho just right. Its insane to think how long the trial took and that he was allowed to represent himself, but there it is, in the real footage at the end. 3/5
