Gerald's Game (2017)



While trying to spice up their marriage in their remote lake house, Jessie must fight to survive when her husband dies unexpectedly, leaving her handcuffed to their bed frame.

Well-made, imaginative psycho-thriller delivers the goods with some twists, but is mainly watchable for Carla Gugino's appropriate performance.

Elizabeth Harvest (2018)



A brilliant man marries a beautiful woman and shows her his home, stating that it's all hers - except a room she can't enter. First chance she enters and discovers what might be human cloning. When the husband returns she pays the price.

Beautifully photographed and with a competent cast (Abbey Lee fits the title role very well), but the plot is too messed up to create any suspense or excitemment.

Every Day (2010)



A New York City couple find themselves in romantic and family crises.

More melodrama than comedy, this movie is competently directed and lives through its excellent cast, but packs in a few problems too many and loses on credibility.

Maltin**1/2: "Well-cast film...Director Levine's screenplay offers no revelations, but it's reasonably credible and the performances are solid."
