video review : The Housemaid

video review : The Housemaid

This movie, even with its cliché concept and jarring song selection, is decent during the first half. The rest is a mess. It’s a 1990s-style romance thriller that goes from The Hand That Rocks The Cradle to Misery in the most awkward of ways. The big plot twist marks a major betrayal not just for the main character but us viewers as the verisimilitude of the story shatters like “mom’s good china”.

video review : Supergirl

Helen Slater is pretty enough as Supergirl; Superman’s younger cousin; but it’s her nemesis Selena who gets the beauty (butterfly) lighting for what seems like every scene she’s in. That’s just part of what makes this movie; a big-budget fantasy adventure; as campy and silly as it is; traits you’d have to embrace to fly anywhere near enjoying it.
