My Fake Fiancé

This was an ABC Family original movie about two strangers--a guy (Lawrence) who owed $15,000 to some dude for gambling and a female (Hart) who had all of her belongings stolen while moving into her new house--who meet at a wedding that decide to get married for the money and presents. I watched this 'cause...well, she was Sabrina. I didn't like the movie. Some of the problems it had:

-ABC Family movie says it all, really
-"Whoa" guy a.k.a. Joey Lawrence
-Bald Joey Lawrence
-Baldy's eyebrows are mad weird looking
-They said "cliché" quite a few times in the movie, in regards to how "cliché"-ily goon the two "goons" looking to get the money owed from Lawrence were
-The fact that not only did the bookie want to be called "the monkey," as though that were better than his real name (Eugene), but he also met with Lawrence at some sort of place where there were mad different monkeys and apes living together in a zoo-like setting but not fenced-in or separated as far as I could tell and/or remember
-The "goons" and the bookie they worked for were mad goofy
-You always know what will happen in these movies, but the fact that Lawrence proposed at the altar was sleazy
-The part where they went to Hart's parent's house and there were mad pictures of Hart's sister and her children and the father said to Lawrence he was going to show him some picture of Hart's sister from her yearbook. It was in a box in the same room which might have been the living room. While rummaging through a box with the father, the mom was all, "He doesn't want to see that. He'd rather see Jennifer's (Hart) yearbook. ... Where is that, anyway?" Father, "Oh, we put that in the attic." Hart then picked up a 4" x 6" frame with a picture of her and sort of showed it to Lawrence, saying, "Here's a picture of me graduating from Harvard." Man, that was cheesy. I mean, good golly, Miss Molly. So bad. Gross.

Killing Me Softly

What caught my eye was the title as it shared the name with a song which I quite like (the Fugees' cover). The movie was about a woman (Graham) that leaves her boyfriend for some random dude who she later realizes may have killed his ex-girlfriend. I didn't like the movie. Some of the problems it had:

-It was cheesy
-Bad acting
-It wasn't really clear as to who the main guy's alleged "sister" exactly was to him. I think in the second scene with her, while Graham was climbing one of those indoor "rock" walls, the "siblings" were kissing in an inappropriate way for siblings to. It was hard to tell and the scene switched right after they appeared to kiss. It was never clarified who she was to him. In the end, he told Graham that they "knew each other as children" or something. Actually, now that I think of it, I think the guy even said it was his sister. Why?
-Graham finally realized through receiving notes and other hints warning her to stay away from him that he was probably dangerous and had possibly killed someone, but went back to their home anyway. Though scared of him, she allowed him to tie her up on a table. He non-forcefully put each limb into a knotted rope and she could easily have fought him off, but she didn't. It looked as though she could have untied herself, but she instead asked him to untie her. Eventually he did when she told him she was confused when he wasn't around or some junk.
-The ending with her going down an escalator and seeing the guy (a renowned mountain climber) going up the escalator was cheesy. She thought, "I'm a flatlander, I guess I can't be up at those altitudes." It was brought up a time or two that she was a"flatlander" and he was a mountain climber. "Who knew a flatlander would land a mountain climber?" "She probably hasn't even climbed stairs." It was weird.

Big Stan

My brother recommended and gave us this one to watch. It was literally about a guy (Stan) on his way to prison for fraud whose fear of being raped there led him to get training in the six months before serving his sentence to fight men who tried to off. I didn't like the movie. Some of the problems it had:

-It wasn't funny
-Dr. Cameron from "House" was Stan's bimbo wife. Considering the excellency of the series "House," I figured she doesn't have a sense of humor and figured the movie would make a lot of money as Schneider's movies usually do. I am certain it didn't because I'd never heard of it before my brother gave it to us and it's like two years old.
-Vulgarity doesn't necessarily equal humor. I'm not sure it ever has.
-Schneider is distractingly unattractive
-When Stan arrived at the prison, he fought the "toughest" guy and a bunch of other guys to show he was tougher so no one would mess with him. It happens all the time in fight scenes, but you have to hate the fact that opponents come up one at a time when it's one guy against a group of people.
-The prisoners were gathered up outside for some reason on bleachers while Stan spoke to them. Stan decided that he would help others not be raped by threatening that he would fight anyone that did. He told them that they couldn't rape anymore, explaining that some people were only there for not-so-bad things. One of the guys asked, "What about rapists?" Stan agreed that it seemed fair and said that was okay. Another guy asked, "How about child molesters?" Stan said that was okay. That was great, but then he ruined it a minute or two later by saying that they couldn't because they had to quit cold turkey.

The Forgotten

This movie seemingly had an interesting concept: everyone a woman (Telly) knows has forgotten her son except her and thinks she is crazy and making him up. I didn't like the movie. The movie begins with her talking to her psychologist about her son who died in a plane crash fourteen months prior. In the following scenes, she is led to believe she is forgetting things, like where she parked her car and whether or not she'd been having coffee while speaking to the psychologist. When she got home, she found that books which presumably had pictures of her son were empty and video tapes which had footage of him were also blank. She blamed the husband, thinking he was trying to force her get over the loss of their son. The husband claimed they'd had no son and later her psychologist came over and told her the same. She ran away, came back later and spoke with their neighbor who'd taken care of her son a couple times. The woman told Telly she didn't know what she was talking about.

Telly ran away to the apartment of a man (Ash) whom she had spoken with earlier on a swing set. She mentioned to him how her son and his daughter were friends and that they had died in a plane crash on the way to camp. I have never heard of kids going somewhere on an airplane without their parents, and certainly not for camp. Ash said he didn't have a daughter. She showed him the room which had been his daughter's, to find that it was now a room for his hockey stuff. He thought she was out of her mind, but I guess since he was drunk, maybe he figured he wasn't thinking clearly so he told her they would have to talk about it the next day and allowed her to stay. She went back in the room while he slept and noticed blue paint behind a tear in what looked like some fabric wallpaper. She picked at it and pulled away the wallpaper to find blue walls covered with a child's drawings. The next day she showed him the walls and told him his daughter had drawn them. He told her they were there from previous tenants before he moved in and said he was going to call the cops to have her to escorted out. She said she would leave if he just said his daughter's name, Lauren. He did and then told her he would need a minute. She went in another room and he came and told her that he had called the cops because she needed help. She was taken away by cops and outside they met with the NSA, who took her. Ash went back to the blue room and found he was able to visualize seeing his daughter drawing on the walls and doing other things in there. He ran down to get Telly released because he realized she wasn't crazy. He told the NSA to let her go, but they refused and when he tried to talk to her, the men were fighting him off. Ash told Telly that he remembered and he broke the driver's window, unlocked the doors and told her to run. Not handcuffed, she made a break for it and one of the two NSA men followed her. She quickly managed to lose him. I kept wondering how the movie would end until Telly saw something in the sky. It was a giant ring of technical nothing, indicating that there were aliens. I was upset to say the least. I don't watch movies that I know involve: aliens, vampires and some other things I can't think of right now. Because they are stupid. Always.

Telly and Ash joined forces to find out why everyone forgot their children. She told Ash that she suspected it had something to do with aliens. Because of something someone said, they realized their children might be alive. They set out to find out if their children actually were alive. They hit a man with a car because he wouldn't get out of their way and the NSA was after them. At one point, Telly went to speak with her husband. He didn't recognize her. She tried to get him to remember by telling him to say "Sam," their son's name, since Ash suggested she try that since it worked out for him. "You lost me," he said, and walked away. Later, Ash left the motel they had been staying in in the middle of the night to capture some man. He knocked him out with a fireplace poker from the fireplace in the motel, tied him up tried to get him to tell them what happened with their kids. The guy being questioned told them they were going to make things worse. Telly told him to tell them where their kids were and promised that no one would know he did, to which he responded, "They're listening." Moments later the top of the motel blew off and the man disappeared.

They found out where the guy they'd questioned lived and it had furniture covered with clear bags. "It looks like whoever lived here left, but didn't move out." There were a couple of failed attempts at being profound. They spent the night in the stranger's house, which was really weird. The next morning they tried to get out of the house, but the doors wouldn't open. Ash broke a giant window and they left. A female cop who'd been interested in Telly's case arrived in an unmarked cop car at the house just as Telly and Ash got out. The cop was there with Telly's psychologist, who earlier had insisted on helping her find Telly because he "believed Telly's story." Ash gave Telly his car keys and told her to leave, saying, "someone had to get out of there." The cop pursued the man who got hit by the car that was walking on the porch. She told him to stop and said that she'd shoot if he went further. He didn't stop and she shot him. He kept going and she shot him two other times. He kept moving, not phased. The cop then went to Telly, who was by Ash's car, and told her that she believed her. The cop was then sucked up into the sky. The psychiatrist told Telly to go with him in the cop car.

Telly insisted, for some reason, that he take her to the airport where she last saw her son. He told her he was going to take her to the police or something because they would be able to help her. They reached a stop light, and, from the passenger's seat, she put the car in park, removed the keys and told him to get out of the car. He told her he would take her to the airport. When they arrived, they went into the abandoned building and found the man who Ash hit with the car waiting inside. The psychiatrist told the man they (the aliens) should just end it because it had gone too far. The other man said it wasn't over yet and walked away, further into the empty building. The psychiatrist turned to Telly, who asked how he was involved. Basically, he told her that the aliens got help one way or another and that cooperation was the easiest way. He told her to let it go or something and she said that she wouldn't, since the man said it wasn't over, which probably meant she could get her son back.

She went after the other man and spoke with him. He told her that everyone else in the experiment had forgotten about their children (which would never happen). He said that they could measure the love or something that mothers had for their children and that they didn't understand it. He talked more about it with her and she kept asking where her son was. He told her things would be "much easier" if she would just forget. With a morphed face, he yelled, "You need to forget!" so loudly that he broke all the windows in the building and Telly fell to the ground. It was so cheesy. He then asked her to think back to the first moment she saw her son. When she did, he took the memory and then asked her what the name of the boy was. She asked, "What boy?" The alien walked away. She was still lying on the ground when she remembered her pregnancy. Then she said,"I had life inside me. I had life inside me. I have a child. I have a son. His name is Sam, you son of a b----." Chee-sy. He yelled, "I need more time!" before being sucked up into the sky.

Telly went home and yelled "Sam!" throughout the house. He wasn't there. She went to the park which was apparently next to her house. She continued yelling his name at the park. She asked a boy if he knew a Sam Whatevertheirlastnamewas and he shook his head. A boy yelled, "Hey, mom!" It was Sam. She went to hug him and then let him play some more. On the swing set, she saw Ash, who earlier had been sucked into space at one point. She spoke to him as though they were practically strangers (which they were before what they'd been through, since their kids weren't even really close friends), I guess because she figured he wouldn't remember. I'm assuming he didn't since Lauren, who was also back, and Sam clearly didn't. To Telly, Ash said, "I think we've met before." That was the end.

Indecent Proposal

The wife (Moore) was a real estate agent whose name I didn't care to catch and the husband (Harrelson) was either an aspiring or just an architect whose name I also didn't pay attention to. I didn't like the movie. I fast-forwarded through a substantial amount of the movie when I felt the scene had no relevance. I wanted the gist of things, and saw more than was necessary for that. The two met and got engaged while in high school. People thought they wouldn't make it, and they eloped at some point. It was truly irrelevant. The "footage" of them as "teenagers" was, as per usual in movies, them in their thirties, but with much longer hair and maybe some braces. From his wife's insistence, Harrelson borrowed money from the bank or something to buy land on which to build some dream house of his. Eventually, they couldn't afford to make payments and the house was taken from them. They borrowed $5,000 from Moore's father, but that was not enough to make payments for the house. They spent a little money and Harrelson conceived the "brilliant plan" of going to Las Vegas. Moore was pleased with the idea and they went.

Arriving with about $4,000, Harrelson played around and ended the night with over 500% more than what he came with ($25,000). Moore spent her day in 'Vegas elsewhere, looking at a dress she couldn't afford and stealing chocolates off of a plate in the same store. Redford, a billionaire, spotted her stealing the chocolates and the two exchanged a smile. Later, he harassed her in the same store, telling her to try on the dress she had hung over herself while looking in a mirror. She said she couldn't afford it and he said it "suited her," so she should have it, and that he'd buy it for her. She responded, "You want to buy me the dress?" He said that he did, and, out of nowhere, Moore said, "The dress is for sale, not me." She then left. At the end of the day Harrelson told his wife, who was rolling around in cash on the hotel bed, that he would play more the next day and make a lot of money.

They lost all of their money at roulette and were on their way out when they saw big-shot Redford making bets on some card game with $10,000 chips. Redford spotted Moore and asked Harrelson if he could "borrow her for luck." He bet some money on a hand he had with her at his side and lost. Cheesily, he asked Moore if she liked cards, and she said that she didn't. He went, "I wish you'd told me that before." Then he asks, "Do you like dice?" To which she responds, "Yeah, I guess." They went to the craps table after he wrote a check for $1,000,000 in exchange for that amount in gambling chips. He cheesily bet it all and had Moore not only roll the dice, but kiss them before she did. He told her he needed a seven, then added that an eleven would do, and, sure enough, she rolled a seven. I assume this doubled his money. She did not ask for a cut, even though she was flat broke and he wouldn't have gotten that extra $1,000,000 without her. I would have demanded a cut beforehand. Redford offered to pay for the husband and wife's hotel stay after they said that they couldn't afford to. Redford bought the dress she had been looking at earlier and sent it to her room as a "thank you" for the $1,000,000.

They were invited to some party the next day. Redford spent his time away from the other surely well-to-do guests to be with the broke husband and his broke wife who had gotten him $1,000,000, expecting nothing, but winding up being given what looked like maybe a $40 dress as a gift, which Moore shamelessly wore to the party. The three of them were shown at a table together, chatting and laughing. In the next scene, Redford was shooting pool with Harrelson while Moore watched. Redford asked Harrelson what he ultimately needed to be happy. Moore interrupted by saying that she is happy, with a tone and hateful look that indicated that she believed Redford had it bad for her. Harrelson agreed, saying that he was happy. He then inquired what Redford needed to be happy, noting that he had so much money. Redford said he needed someone like Harrelson's wife. Moore said, "Money can't buy everything. You can't buy love." Redford contested this, saying, "Well, let's test that right now." Speaking to the husband, he asked, "Hypothetically, if I were to offer you $1,000,000 for one night with your wife, what would you say?" Moore interrupted, "He would tell you to go to shells." Then Harrelson was all, "I would assume you were joking. Then I would tell you to go to shells." Redford then said they were only saying that because it was hypothetical, but if it were real, they wouldn't necessarily react that way. The married couple left, pretending to be offended.

Back in their hotel room, the couple realized while having been in bed for presumable hours that they could not sleep, because they were both interested in the offer of $1,000,000 (an amount a billionaire has hundreds to thousands of (of course), the same amount that the billionaire in this case was literally willing to throw away on the off-chance that some poor female he'd just met was "lucky" and the same amount the poor wife technically won for the billionaire) for the billionaire to do whatever he wanted with or to the wife for one night. Personally, I would be furious on so many levels if my husband could not sleep due to his interest in prostituting me off for money. I would expect my husband to feel the same way if I couldn't sleep because I was interested in the proposition. They decided they were willing to do it. The pool table scene where Redford "proposed" something "indecent" hypothetically technically remained a "hypothetical" question at the end of that scene and the scene right after that was them in bed trying to sleep, so I am not sure why they took it seriously. Nonetheless, the offer turned out to be real and they incorporated their lawyer for some reason on the deal, to "negotiate" who care's what. Redford got his one night with Moore. They showed him taking her in a helicopter to some boat or some junk and then them hanging out on this big boat alone. Moore shamefully returned to her and her husband's hotel room the following morning and narrated as they drove home that they figured that would be the end of it.

They went home and tried to pay off the house Harrelson had been working on and found they were too late, by a few days. The guy told them someone else had bought it and that there was nothing he could do. They bawled, saying that they had asked for an extension and the guy told them that it expired or something. One day, Harrelson, to his wife, was all, "What's Griffon?" because he had found a box of matches on their kitchen counter that read "Griffon" among some of her things. Moore was like, "Have you been going through my purse?" The husband went, "No, why? Is there something worse in there? What's Griffon?" She said, "Griffon is the boat he took me on." Harrelson went in their bedroom where he saw her purse and decided to look through it. First thing he took out was her wallet. The first thing he did then was look in a pocket of the wallet where she had some picture of them as teenagers. Then he went back to the same pocket and found his wife had one of those business card-like cards that only has someone's name professionally printed on it, and whoever has it made has to write things on it, like their phone number, which is what the one in her wallet had written on it in pencil. It had the billionaire's name and number on it. The husband went into the living room to find his wife hanging up the phone. He went, "Who were you talking to?" Her, "My mother." Him, "Right, your "mom." What did she say?" Her, "Nothing. She wasn't there." Him, "Then why did you say you were talking to her?" Her, "Because, I was calling to talk to her, but she wasn't there." Man, the dialogue in this movie. I thought the acting was bad also. He confronted her about the card. She said, "Where did that come from? I've never seen it before." They realized they couldn't be with each other because he didn't trust her, I guess, so they separated.

At some point, Moore found out who bought the house, and it was Redford, the stalking billionaire who had no life. She was furious and went to some restaurant where Redford was eating and made a scene. Redford escorted her outside where she eventually told him she hated him, and he responded, "You don't hate me, you wish that you hated me." Gag. He continued to harass her and finally forced her to communicate through requesting (through her boss, I assumed) that she show him some houses. She complied and walked him through what I figured was an expensive house or two before they happened to drive by a huge house which Redford blatantly practically sat on her lap to look over at so she would notice he was looking at it. She said, "That house is at least $30,000,000." He said, "You think so?" They went to look at it and while walking across the lawn, Moore said, "I don't think this house is for sale." Redford responded, "Everything is for sale." They reached the house and were somewhere on it when she said, "This is your house, isn't it?" Him, "Do you like it?" Her, "It's missing...life. You need some dogs (and some other things) here." Him, "It needs you." Gag. Blah blah blah, who cares, they wind up dating. Harrelson somehow knew they were going to some restaurant one night and harassed them as they were entering. I couldn't tell if he was supposed to be drunk. It was raining, of course, as it does when someone wants someone back. He began a corny exchange he and the wife did at the start of the movie and two other times after that. "Have I told you that I love you?" he asked. She didn't respond. The entire thing was, "Have I told you that I love you? -No. -Well, I do. -Still? -Always." He then tried to punch Redford in the face, missing him and falling to the ground.

Eventually, Moore and Redford were at an outside auction for who knows what. The auctioneer showed pictures of a hippopotamus and started the bidding at $10,000. Redford bid and then some woman bid. I believe the two had reached $65,000 when Harrelson called out a bid of $1,000,000 from the background, the amount he'd prostituted his wife out for. He then walked over to the table at which Redford and Moore sat. Redford left them alone, but watched from a distance. I fast-forwarded, as I had many times throughout the movie, and saw Harrelson signing what I assumed were divorce papers. Redford and Moore were being driven home and sat in silence for a while. Redford broke it by asking the driver, "What do you think? She has got to be the best of the million-dollar club, wouldn't you say?" The driver agreed, ad-libbing something about how one of the members "wouldn't stop hiccuping." That was lame. Redford looked at Moore and said, "You didn't think you were the first, did you?" The driver and Redford carried on with that conversation for a minute or two until Moore told the driver to pull over. "Thank you," she said to Redford, and then left the car. I thought it was pretty funny how she just assumed he was letting her go instead of being serious. But it is a movie, so he actually was setting her free. She ran on what looked like a highway just in time to catch a bus that was stopping at a bus stop a couple feet in front of where the driver had pulled over. The driver asked Redford, "What was that about?" Redford said, "She never would have looked at me the way she looked at him."

From there, Moore went to the pier where Harrelson had given her a decent proposal years before (you know, for her hand in marriage). It was misty and there was a person at the end of the pier sitting on a bench. Naturally, it was Harrelson. She went to the bench and sat in the one directly behind his. She began the corny exchange that happened at least three other times prior from what I saw in the movie. They completed it and that was the end of the movie.
