Here's the thing, I actually like erotica. Yes, I know, shocking!

But I have to be in a mood to read erotica. Sometimes I want to laugh, sometimes I want to read some dark stuff and sometimes I want some romance with it.

I wasn't really in the mood for something specific but I discovered that hate-fucking isn't really my thing (blackmail I'm indifferent about it, apparently).
Really stupid suspense film. The acting isn't bad, but the script certainly is. By process of elimination, you'll figure out the bad guy pretty early, I'm sure. There's a truly awful song, 'Angela' about the lead character. Just turn the sound down when it starts, so you won't be damaged for life. The score is by Brian May. I was greatly relieved to find out it wasn't Brian May from Queen! However, given his other credits (first rate Australian films), this other Brian May probably didn't show more write the awful song. show less

Jesse, a homeless orphan who spends his days evading the police, finally gets caught spray painting a whale tank at a local park. Because he distrusts adults intensely, Jesse's not too happy when authorities place him in a foster home and sentence him to clean up the tank he vandalized. Unexpectedly, Willy, the whale who inhabits the tank, takes a liking to Jesse, and the animal and child develop a bond -- a bond that also helps Jesse open up to the adults in his life, including his new show more parents and the whale's caretakers. But then Jesse learns that Dial, who owns the park, only wants to keep Willy if he can be trained to perform for an audience. Can the boy find a way to save his beloved whale before Dial plays some dirty tricks of his own? show less
