#9: King Cobra // Grape Movie Marathon

Veteran gay pornography producer Stephen battles two rival producers over the rights to his underage porn star creation, Brent Corrigan, with deadly results.

Based on a true story, of which a book has also been written, it follows Sean aka Brent Corrigan who becomes a popular gay pornstar with Cobra Videos. Upon realising he is being unpaid for the movies he makes, he decides to pursue other options which takes a deadly turn.

While an enjoyable watch, I don't feel like this movie gripped my attention as much as I'd have liked. I didn't feel the need to devote my complete attention to it which I always find disappointing but fortunately, this movie doesn't require your full attention anyway. It's an easy watch so you don't have to worry about losing track of what's going on.

With it being 92 minutes long, I just don't feel that was enough time to properly tell this story. It focused more on telling Brent's story then it did giving us details about the tragic event that happened or those involved and while Brent may be the reason for why it happened, I'd have liked more information about the others involved but instead it's crammed into the last half an hour.

Overall, I'd recommend it if you're looking for something easy to watch and the story behind it appeals to you
but I wouldn't expect too much from it.

I rate it 3 out of 5 grapes.

#7: Away We Go // Grape Movie Marathon.

A couple who is expecting their first child travel around the U.S. in order to find a perfect place to start their family. Along the way, they have misadventures and find fresh connections with an assortment of relatives and old friends who just might help them discover "home" on their own terms for the first time. 

It's a great comedy-drama, for a quiet night in. With a great story line that's easy to follow along and just as easy to absolutely love. You follow a couple, who have recently found out their pregnant and are searching for somewhere to live and raise their child. Trusting that their friends who have child and are situated around the country, they visit them to get an idea of what the area is like, and catch up with old friends.

What follows is a mixture of funny moments, as well as a few sad moments as they seemingly come to realise that maybe their friends aren't the greatest people to go to when it comes to their future home for them and their unborn child. 

The characters are also well played, with a great selection of actors chosen for the parts. With the main two characters being John Krasinki, most likely known for playing Jim in The Office and Maya Rudolph, who I know from Bridemaids, it's hard not to love them and want to support them on their adventure.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this movie and it falls into the category of movies I could easily rewatch. 

I rate it 4 out of 5 grapes.
