Hotel Artemis (2018)
Surprising & Engaging
6.5/10: I love it when a movie surprises me and this one did. I went in with very low expectations because the trailers gave me a vibe that this was going to be a go nowhere, just weird film. Instead, the writing and acting drew you into Foster's character as well as Bautista's and you knew they are real people with both good and bad in them. The action was great, the tension build up appropriate and the resolution was believable. Overall, good flick!
Adrift (2018)
Annoying & Disappointing
I gave it a 5/10 and I was being generous. So disappointing. I typically love movies based on true stories because life is challenging, inspiring, and sometimes crazier than what we can make up. This movie bombed a great opportunity to tell a very inspiring story. Shailene Woodley was annoying off the charts and the writing was just stupid at times (lots of unrealistic behavior and dialogue during the dating scenes), Jeffrey Thomas unfortunately was super creepy, and I had to keep reminding myself that the story was not about him turning out to be a serial killer. Honestly, by the time stuff got real bad on the boat I just didn't care. Just poor casting, poor writing, and lacking in the depth it should have been focused on instead. When they showed the real woman at the end, it seemed very obvious to me she was a no-nonsense kind of gal and not at all like Woodley portrayed her. Cannot recommend this in the theater and on dvd only if you're desperate.
