Trying to pigeonhole Crawl is difficult. Kaya S. plays a collegiate swimmer who receives a call from her sister worried about their father, a martinet swimming coach. Florida is facing a Category 5 hurricane and everyone is supposed to evacuate. However, their father went back to their childhood home and is now trapped in the crawlspace with shock from an alligator bite. Now father and daughter must battle farm-raised alligators. I am pretty sure that building a drain pipe near an alligator farm in storm-threatened Florida was boneheaded as was having both male and female gators. The movie never really addresses the eggs Kaya finds except for one scene with a baby gsator that possibly nips her. One doesn't go to a creature feature expected highly intelligent characters or plot so overall the film entertains and leaves the audience joyfilled.

Roma (2018)
2018 | Drama
Good looking but slightly soulless arthouse drama courtesy of the good people at Netflix, who have obviously decided they need some awards credibility what with Disney Plus being on the horizon and all. The travails of a maid in Mexico City circa 1970; her employers divorce, she gets impregnated by her boyfriend who promptly absconds, swimming trip nearly ends badly, and so on.

Not very much happens, but does so extremely beautifully - beautiful cinematography is coupled with some formal, rather alienating camerawork. You almost never forget you're watching a movie, except perhaps during one gruelling sequence near the end. It's very difficult to shake the sense that this film was made solely to win awards - it has the right kind of mixture of technical proficiency and socially-engaged storytelling. I couldn't really engage with it except on a superficial level, but it is very pretty.
