  The Girl Next Door 2004

  ★★½ Watched by Bruce Macoy 12 Aug 2022

  -"I like this girl".
  -"And you can still like her with your penis inside her".

  The Girl Next Door walks a familiar road, flattened by the steps of all high school rom-coms before it; only very slightly refreshed by the raunchy twist hinted by it's premise. The involvement of the porn industry as we knew it back in the late nineties, certainly makes for a couple of funny moments but can't truly exploit it's juicy, oozy potential given the genre…

  What We May Become 2018

  ½ Watched by Bruce Macoy 12 Aug 2019

  La que con niños se acuesta, meada amanece.

  Santiago (Luis Ernesto Franco, una tabla con sudadera y trencita jedi) se enamora de su maestra, Amanda (correcta Sophie Alexander Kats) lo que da inicio a una serie de situaciones que van desde furiosas chaquetas mentales románticas, propias de un puberto emocionalmente educado exclusivamente por telenovelas, a verdaderas señales de alarma para cualquier mujer con un mínimo de sentido común e instinto de auto preservación.

  Con un desarrollo de personajes mediocre tirándole…
