Feels like a lifetime movie


Hard to believe the two Cory's agreed to do this terrible lifetime original movie.

Also how many times do we need to see a sex scene with the same people? Literally there was a sex scene almost everytime it showed Haim and Eggert in the same scene. I mean we'd get a sex scene at night then the next scene the morning after they're making breakfast and he spills juice on her and they have sex again. Literally everything turned into sex with them.

Thats what i love about these high school girls, i get older they stay the same age.

2nd paragraph answers 1st?

Probably had some deleted scenes and redo's too. And get paid while doing it. Could be worse jobs at age 21.

Most 90's movies feel like lifetime movies. That decade sucked for film.

Disagree, I liked 90s movies far better than movies now in the 2010s Movies now are all the same with cheesy cgi effects, remakes, and mediocre actors/actresses who can't act to save their lives. The 90s was actually a great decade for movies, the 2010s is by far the worse decade for film, and music.

I'm not complaining, I loved seeing Corey Haim "in the buff" , and those sex scenes . Another thing "Blown Away" aired on HBO, not Lifetime.

Rob Zombie is one of the greatest directors today

Well, MisterBabadook, although I agree with you that much of the movie had a lifetime movie feel to it, the ending certainly did not feel that way. A lifetime movie would never ever ever have a woman repeatedly shot by the police at the end of the movie like that. Also, have you ever seen a lifetime movie where the only surviving main character was a man?

In lifetime movies, even when there is a woman that commits murder, they usually portray the woman as a victim of insanity who is not responsible for her actions. Conversely, in this movie Nicole Eggert's character was portrayed as simply evil. She knew what she was doing and there were no excuses made by the writers.

Also, lifetime movies have a formula where there is always at least one admirable female character. This movie didn't have that element. Obviously, Nicole's character was deplorable. The only other female character of significance was Darla and she definitely was not admirable. She slept with Rich's brother. How creepy is that?

Lifetime movies are riddled with gender bias that protects the images of all female characters. Blown Away lacked this gender bias, so it is way different than a lifetime movie.
