Catching up with my reviews here - watched these two last week and I didn't get too much written up, but here's what I've got. I've got a couple of Netflix rentals for this week I am quite looking forward too - woo hoo!
Towelhead Plot Summary - Coming-of-age story of an innocent and pretty thirteen year-old girl, Jasira (Summer Bishil), who goes to live with her strict and overbearing Lebanese father in Houston after her mom's live-in boyfriend helps her shave - um - I'm not even going to go there. We now get into a rather sexual tale of a young girl with a neighbor man (Aaron Eckhart) who lusts after her (and more), a black young man at school who she begins to see against her racist father's wishes, and a helpful neighbor lady (Toni Collette) who befriends and tries to protect her. This young girl certainly attracts a lot of attention and she doesn't come across as innocent as she appears.
Towelhead Review - Well, this is an interesting watch, the men are pretty pervy in this though - and the dad is sort of over-the-top with some of his rules (which daughter usually defies), he also hits her. Aaron Eckhart is appropriately slimy in this. The film is set in the early 90s. Rating - 8/10 stars

Pineapple Express Review and Rating - Silly comedy, has moments but not that good - about a pot head who witnesses a murder and the criminal head drug dealer connects him as the witness via the "Pineapple Express" (exclusive pot) roach he dropped on the street. Our guy goes on the lam with his own dealer, lots of violence to follow. 6/10 stars
