360. Eli. I dug it! I went in blind with this one. Saw new release horror on Netflix, I said yes please. So it starts out with a Bubble Boy senario, 500 dolla!! You want 500 dolla?? Sorry. Little Eli has some issues, he has to live in a bubble, due to an auto-immune disorder. If he breathes air, he dead. Luckily his parents care and find him a doctor thats doing some off the grid experimental stuff, oh and the hospital they take him to seems to be haunted, no biggie. While there, the treatments well just seem to be making him worse, but to help him through feeling like crap he meets, this random redhead that seems to only come out at night befriends him, and supports him when he starts to feel things aren't right. Stranger Things have happened... ;) And the longer Eli stays, the worse he feels, but he also knows that something ain't right, and maybe he's not sick at all? Maybe the doctor wants to kill him, his parents?? But...why???? Pretty creepy flick. Didn't know what to expect so I liked the outcome. I say, do. Filmbufftim on FB

Plot twist

Frustratingly good.

Fractured has been sitting in the watchlist for quite sometime so after some recommendations from friends I decided to watch it. The only other thing I had seen Sam Worthington in was Avatar so I didn't really know what to expect from him. I really struggle to get into films but it's safe to say that Fractured got me hooked. Worthington plays a father, Ray, who's daughter, Perrie, is injured when she falls from a height. Ray also sustains a head injury when he falls trying to rescue her. Along with his wife, Jo, Ray takes Perrie to hospital where she is seen by the doctors and nurses and is prescribed a head scan. Jo and Perrie are taken away for the scan and go missing. Distraught, Ray sets out to find his wife and daughter.
Worthington gives a really convincing performance as Ray. I found myself getting as equally frustrated as him when he was trying to convince everyone of his wife and daughter's existence.
Compared to the beginning and middle of the film I felt the ending was a little bit weak but overall Fractured was a good watch.

Let me paint you a picture. It's day 39 of quarantine. My roommate and I are working our way through my Netflix list and he's never seen Click. I think, oh my gosh, I love this film we have to watch it. Little did I know, I forgot how it ends. So we get to the last 20 minutes of the film and Michael dies outside the hospital and I am bawling my eyes out - ugly crying, hysterical, the world is ending, I'm losing it. I call my mom to calm down but it doesn't really work that well. I'm still just CRYING like a maniac. We finish the film and I end up crying even more because he lives and it was just a dream and he gets a chance to live the life he truly wants.

Needless to say, I liked this film. Obviously it's cheesy and a bit dumb, given that it's an Adam Sandler film, but I still enjoyed it. It pulls at the heartstrings, makes you laugh, it's a feel-good that will make you feel good.
