Automatic
Hate
The
Automatic Hate is a
drama where Davis
Green (Joseph Cross),
who is going through a
tough patch with his
ballerina girlfriend
Cassie (Deborah Ann
Woll), is approached
at a bar by Alexis
Green (Adelaide
Clemens), a woman he
has never met before,
but she runs away
before they speak to
one another. Later,
she turns up at his
house and he confront
her and Alexis says
that they are cousins.
Davis has never heard
of her family and his
father Ronald (Richard
Schiff) doesn't want
to speak about his
long lost brother and
neither does his dying
grandfather. Davis
decides to visit
Alexis at their home,
but Alexis takes him
to meet her sisters
Annie and Amanda
(Yvonne and Vanessa
Zima, more Zima
sisters!) and they
have a night getting
to know one another.
The next morning,
Davis meets their
father and his uncle,
Josh (Ricky Jay), but
he pretends to be
Alexis's lover. But
Uncle Josh knows who
he is and is
surprisingly friendly
towards him although
he has no interest in
meeting his brother as
their issues are
unresolvable. Alexis
is very keen on Davis,
a little too keen for
cousins, but Davis
follows her to a small
house at the back of
the farm only her
father goes to. There
they watch a film of
the two brothers when
they were younger and
an unknown woman and
find a bracelet that
seems to be owned by
that woman. Alexis and
Davis have sex and
Davis goes back to
town promising to see
Alexis more.
Meanwhile, Davis's
grandfather dies and
Alexis convinces the
family to go to the
burial, which will
bring the two brothers
back together. At
first, they are
reluctantly amiable
towards one another,
but as a boozy family
dinner continues, old
problems rear their
head, new ones erupt
and the terrible
secret is finally
revealed.
Intriguing movie
helped along by two
great leads in Cross
and Clemens, even
though Alexis is a
very frustrating
emotional
rollercoaster of a
character, but
Adelaide Clemens plays
her well. There's
quite a bit going on,
so the movie never
loses interest. Well
worth a look.

Creative
Control
Creative Control is a
drama set in the near
future where an ad
executive David
(writer/director
Benjamin Dickinson) is
drowning both at work
and at home with his
wife Juliette (Nora
Zehetner). He hangs
around with his
fashion photographer
friend Wim (Dan Gill),
who blatantly cheats
on his wife Sophie
(Alexia Rasmussen).
David has a crush on
Sophie and would very
much like to get with
her, but he finds the
next best way to do
so; by creating an
avatar of her in his
VR glasses. As he
becomes closer to the
real Sophie, he
intensifies his
'relationship' with
virtual Sophie, to the
detriment of his home
and work life. He's
sacked from his job,
Wim finds out about
his longing for Sophie
and Juliette cheats on
him with the yoga
instructor who took
over her job. But,
it's not all bad.
OK movie that doesn't
really overplay its
future setting, which
is probably not a bad
thing as movies tend
to overplay future
invention. Interesting
concept but apart from
the VR angle, there
doesn't seem to be
much of reason to set
this movie in the
future as the story is
timeless. Sadly,
neither the story and
characters are all
that interesting.
Also, future Brooklyn
is apparently still
full of hipsters,
surely some horrible
new trend would have
pervaded the area in
the meantime.

Guns
for Hire
Guns For Hire is a
thriller about two
women who are
brought together in
a most unexpected
way. Beatle (Michele
Hicks) is a hitwoman
and tow truck driver
who prefers to be a
loner and her only
human contact seems
to be with a
stripper/prostitute
Carla (Sarah Shahi)
and her psychiatrist
(Orlando Jones). She
is currently being
interrogated by
Detective Holt
(Raffaello
Degruttola). Athena
(Ever Carradine) is
a total screw-up
whose car has being
clamped and has to
pay $3000+ worth of
fines to get it
back. She goes to
Kyle (Ben
Mendelsohn) to get a
loan to pay it off
and borrows his car
but when Kyle's car
breaks down and
Beatle is called,
Beatle see Kyle
strangling Athena
and she knocks him
out. Beatle and
Athena get to
talking and Athena
hatches a plan for
Beatle to kill her
and she will pay
Beatle with the life
insurance money.
Athena also stays at
Beatle's place to
avoid Kyle who has
his enforcer Bruce
(Jeffrey Dean
Morgan) track Athena
and Beatle down,
tearing shreds off
Carla and the
psychiatrist in the
process. Beatle and
Athena falls for one
another but Athena
still wants Beatle
to kill her, but
Bruce is closing in
and he might just
get in first. Um,
except ...
Oh
boy! Guns For Hire
is a moderately
distracting comic
thriller with a
lesbian angle, but
then it does one
helluva switcheroo
which is so baffling
I don't even know
where it came from
and I doubt it makes
any sense to the
rest of the movie.
There really isn't
any need for the
twist, although the
movie barely clocks
an hour otherwise.
Disastrous...
