Movie Review - "Angels Crest" 12/30/2011

·    Another review of a movie, this time Angels Crest.  Released December 30, 2011.

0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful moving all around – characters, music, theme, storyline, etc.





    Angels Crest


            “Based on the book”.  I have never read the book and had never heard of the movie until I started this quest of reviewing movies.  Anyways, this was a sad and depressing movie.  In a small town called Angels Crest, a three year old boy Nathan Denton goes missing and *spoiler* is discovered frozen to death.  So the question is whether or not his father, Ethan Denton, is guilty or not for negligence and ultimately the boy’s death.  Along the path of the movie, we find Nate’s drunkard slutty mother Cindy, a few of Ethan’s friends, the local diner owner Angie and her daughter Rosie, a District Attorney, and a few other characters.  Long story short – it kept my attention and made me cry a few times, especially to see the loss of the young boy.  The ending was abrupt but to be expected.

            4/5 – Kept my attention, made me cry a few times.  Story was very good and made me very glad not to be living in a small town.  Recommended.
