The Boy Next Door (2015)
a scary story that could happen with the boy next door
Unlike critics that have been very bad for this movie, I found it pretty entertaining but scary. this story could happen to anyone, of course most people would say they would not get trapped like that by a cute young boy but who knows. And who knows what's in the mind of someone who looks polite, gentle and is very attractive, especially if he has fallen in love, is very jealous and sees the ex husband coming back. Overall the actors do a decent job, the dialogs are not very sophisticated but they are what you could expect from this kind of mid class American neighborhood. Of course I saw this on a long flight, so I needed something easy to follow and not too violent, but I did not fall asleep !
Five Minutes to Tomorrow (2014)
nice romance between Chinese twins and a Japanese young man
The story takes place in Shanghai. A young repairman goes swimming laps regularly in the city pool and notices a beautiful young Chinese girl. While leaving the pool, shes sits next to him on a bench and starts talking to him ... The movie is a nice story about the romance between 2 shy persons with different culture, Ruo Lan (chinese) and Ah Liang (japanese). Good memories of the Shanghai atmosphere, while Ah Lang and Ruo Lan cruise the french quarter with their electric scooter at night. The plot does a good job depicting the close, ambiguous and sometimes devastating relationship that exist between twins, especially real almost identical twins. Good music too ! especially the one Ru Mei plays for dancing in their fancy apartment.
