Peeping Toms can save peoples lives sometimes. First up…

 

The Boy Next Door

Before having an affair with your neighbour first sign an agreement to share the cost of a new fence.

However, property lines are the last thing on the mind of the horny housewife in this thriller.

Separated from her husband (John Corbett) due to his infidelity, high school lit teacher Claire (Jennifer Lopez) raises her son on her own.

Before school starts, she has a one-night stand with her neighbour’s nephew Noah (Ryan Guzman).

When school starts, he’s enrolled in her class as a student.

But when she spurns his advances, Noah starts terrorizing her family and friends.

A contrived contribution to the obsessed ex-lover genre, BND not only suffers from an absence of overboard antics on the crazy persons part, but also from Lopez’ inability to emote or deliver dialogue in a credible manner.

Besides, first it’s sex, next thing you know your neighbour wants to borrow some flour. Red Light


 

Inherent Vice

The best part of being your own boss is you get to decide if drinking on the job is acceptable or not.

Apparently, the P.I. in this mystery doesn’t have a problem with being high at work.

After he’s hired by his ex-girlfriend (Katherine Waterston) to keep her new boyfriend Mickey (Eric Roberts) from being committed by his wife, Doc (Joaquin Phoenix) is hired by a radical (Michael K. Williams) to reclaim money owned to him by Mickey’s bodyguard.

It’s not until an ex-junkie (Jena Malone) asks Doc to locate her missing husband (Owen Wilson) does the pothead private dick put things together.

Brimming with far-out characters and a career-defining performance from Phoenix, P.T. Anderson’s interpretation of the comedy-crime novel is an instant classic that only cracks under it’s protracted running time.

The downside to a stoner detective, however, is you have to constantly remind them to solve your case.  Yellow Light

Fear

Teenage girls like to date bad boys because the nice guys aren’t rich enough yet.

Mind you, the young woman in this thriller is doing it to annoy her father.

Sent to Seattle to live with father (William Petersen), his new wife (Amy Brenneman) and her son after being evicted by her mother, Nicole (Reese Witherspoon) meets the enigmatic David (Mark Wahlberg).

Shortly after the two become an item, Nicole begins to miss her curfew – enraging her father who is already angry over David undermining his authority.

By the time Nicole realizes David’s true nature, he and his friends have surrounded her home and having begun terrorizing her family.

The quintessential crazy ex-lover movie, Fear is not only loaded with outlandish behaviour on the part of the unstable party, but it also showcases Wahlberg’s best performance to date.

Incidentally, the only guy good enough for a man’s daughter is a eunuch.

He’s a Stalk Boy. He’s the…
