Hotel Desire (2011)
8/10
Just the right amount
5 November 2023
I watched this movie with my wife as we wanted something to put us in the mood. Hotel Desire fit the bill for a couple of reasons. First, it's not a lengthy film at all at just 40 minutes. Second, it's actually a sweet story of a day in the life of a maid. The day doesn't start out as sweet, in fact it's anything but. Whatever can go wrong does for her. But the last bit of the film (I wasn't checking the time so I'll guess 15 minutes?) things turn around for her as she has a sexual encounter with the other main character. Finally, what made this the perfect "date movie" for me and my wife is that it has just the right amount of sex. The act wasn't portrayed as dirty, the female was not degraded in any way, and any shots of genitals were brief. It wasn't as graphic as porn you'll find online but it was beyond Basic Instinct. It was, as my title says, just the right amount. I wish there were more films like this. Enjoy!

Jaws (1975)
10/10
Still the best
4 August 2023
This is the greatest shark movie ever made even after all this time. The story and acting are top notch, and there still has never been a more believable looking shark than this one. Add in the musical score and you've got one intense movie. Robert Shaw's telling of the USS Indianapolis is as gripping as the jaws of a great white shark.

Throw in Roy Scheider and director Steven Spielberg and you've got a classic monster movie. As a bit of historical trivia, Scheider ad-libbed the iconic line, "You're going to need a bigger boat." Forget the rest...this remains the best shark movie ever and a top 10 movie of all time.
