It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

... View Morefirst of all this actress Emily Browning got the looks & skills this film does show it all shes given her best her the bad thing is the burden she had to take while making this because the story was good but execution was way wrong the ending is completely dark with no use of light i guess someone likes to ape Christopher Nolan but ends up failing the fight sequence between Browning & Xavier Samuel is shot in a bad way you cant see anything until browning shoves a water pipe into his throat.the plot:Haley is a rock star her brother dies & shes married to Carter, have 2 kids life is going great until she meets a new guitarist Enzo who changes her world upside down.Haley was acting like a teenager rather then a mature mom of two kids all the time it was her fault letting another man come close to her when she got pregnant again as she is struggling to write new songs but what about the family she dint care at all doesn't she know its called cheating shes married to a good guy.the cast:all the actors did their best but Emily Browning looks cool enough here for one to watch this shes the only great actress.Emily Browning is recently making wrong choices when choosing scripts & this was not even a big budget film does she want to become a direct to home release actress like others she has reached her careers lowest point its a straight flush of loss then a plush its a half good half bad film nothing more.Overall if you are a fan of Emily Browning then do see Plush 2013 my rating is 4/10.
... View MoreMaybe I am just getting too old, but this seems like a flick for moody teen wanna be rock stars. Cam Gigandet and Dawn Olivieri are the only people that add any substance to this disaster. Their contributions are drowned in a sea of dark infant edginess. Elizabeth Pena and Francis Fisher play such small roles that they are not allowed to really support them. It is almost sad to see two veteran actresses get caught in this web and have to take a backseat to immaturity. The film made less than $3,000 from what IMDb says. Apparently I am not alone in not liking this movie. IMDb says this review has to contain at least 10 lines of text but I find myself having trouble writing any more. I have liked Catherine Hardwicke's other works but this one seems juvenile and underdeveloped. Maybe she can stop living in the past and user her vision to evolve into something more.
... View MoreI read the short synopsis of this movie and really had no idea what to expect, in other words, I didn't really expect much. But HOLY CRAP was I surprised. Plush takes you through a weird downward spiral movie that keeps you guessing at each turn as it descends into a creepy constantly changing mystery. I was never quite sure of what direction the movie was going to take (which is what I assume put off most viewers, and since the movie can't be categorized into one specific genre), but whew, it kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time and and has easily become one of my top 5 movies to date. Regardless, everyone should give this movie a try! It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you're into thrillers filled sensual danger and downright creepiness you'll absolutely love Plush. It's like a scary movie without all the gore. And lastly, people hated on the music in this movie but I thought the original songs were actually super catchy! WATCH PLUSH!
... View MoreOverall, 'Plush' was executed nicely and paid homage to the artsy horror genre, without unnecessary gore and clichés. The camera work was easy to follow and the cinematography was innovative and visually interesting. Costumes and set was realistic and creative. The plot was highly dramatic and ridiculous, yet believable, which made the movie enjoyable and not cringe-worthy. The use of foreshadowing was implemented and served as a clever way to give audiences a chance to work out the twist before it was exposed at the end of the film. On a down-side, I found that the casting for some roles was slightly unbelievable: Cam Gigandet and Emily Browning had sparse chemistry, and I found their relationship as husband and wife a bit unfeasible. Otherwise, casting was accurate and all actors played their roles effectively.The film was highly sexual in some scenes, which put me off slightly, but was still necessary to the plot, which made the nudity and sex scenes bearable. Points:2 points for actors and casting2 points for cinematography and visual components. 1 point for realistic and natural script.
