DVR recorded movie ratings #11

Some of the following were recorded and others I just watched as they came on.

• About Cherry: Nothing special. Girl runs away from home and starts to do topless pictures, then becomes a stripper, then stars in porn. James Franco comes out in it as a coke-head lawyer. Dev Patel comes out as her best friend who jerks off to her porn, but when she finds out, she gets pissed and moves out. He has a point when he yells "Why can everyone else see you naked and I can't?" Well not the exact quote, but I hope you get the picture. 1 Daisy- girl.
• Dear Lemon Lima: Quirky movie about a girl who is half Eskimo and she gets a grant to attend the same school as her boyfriend. He is a dick. Goes away for the Summer, then he comes back and instead of dumping her, he strings her along. Only acknowledges her when she does something good, but otherwise ignored for other stuff. She gets sent to the weight room where there are other oddballs and the form a bond since no one else wants to be friends with them. Since it's based in Alaska, there are these events the school does and they form a team. TEAM FUBAR! Ya, don't think this ends on a feel-good moment, but it somewhat does. She finally comes to the realization that she can live without the boy, befriends an enemy, loses a neighbor friend, but she becomes her own person. I give it 3 Daisy-girls.
• Love Me If You Dare: This is a cutesy movie. Has to do with a boy and a girl who dare each other to do things that will pretty much get them in trouble. If you do the dare, you get to keep a carousel tin box. Well, that's what they do, but the try to outdo each other. It gets to the point where the principal, and even the parents try separating the two, but it doesn't work. As years pass on, they continue the dares and boy do they get daring. He dares her to wear her bras and panties over her clothes to her final exams, she dares him to fuck a colleague because she wants her earrings. After some time, he gets tired and says he needs a year off, so she agrees. They don't see each other, but once they reunite, the game continues. Later on, they don't see each other for I think about 10 years and when they reunite he is married and has 2 kids. He feels his life is a bored. He sees that she didn't come to see hi, but then he gets a box delivered and it's the carousel tin. He drives off, and meets up with her, a few dares here and there. They finally come together as a couple. Something that they did not want to face all these past years of knowing one another. I give it 4 Daisy-girls.
• Richard Pryor: Omit The Logic: Not a HUGE fan, but I liked him. Documentary about his comedic and private life. Lots of interviews with famous comedians and his ex-wives. Very interesting, amusing, and sad. I give it 4 Daisy-girls.
• A Better Life: Mexican dad who has been working illegally in L.A. as a gardener is trying to keep his teenage son out of becoming a loser and joining a gang. The son IS a loser. At the beginning of the movie he tells his dad he needs money. Dad pretty much tells him money doesn't grow on trees. Kid says, " I need money. Go mow some lawns."  Dad makes a BIG decision in trying to better his life for himself and his son, but they are soon shattered because his truck got stolen. The rest of the movie has to do with dad and son trying to locate the man who stole his truck, but they bond. They come across this Mexican celebration and the kid says, "What's this? A costume party?" At this point I was all what the fuck kid?!?! You're dad is illegally here, his main spoken language is Spanish, you have a damn cactus on your forehead, you live in East L.A. and you're questioning how Mexicans dress with their Charro suits and bold-colored dresses?! Are you fucken kidding me? Ugh, can't stand that kid. Anyway, they don't get the truck because it was sold to the black market, they find it, steal it, get stopped by the cops and dad is arrested. Kid goes to his aunt's house. Dad gets deported and the kid FINALLY realizes what dad has to put up with and has been going through for years to build a better life for himself and especially his son. I give this 4 Daisy- girls and not just because I'm Mexican.
