The Valet

  • Title: The Valet
  • IMDb: link

Valet is an odd film for a romantic comedy. Rather than having two people fall head-over-heels for each other, the 2022 film is about how the time two strangers spend together teaches each of them to stay away from the people that are wrong for them. We start, not surprisingly, with a contrived situation in which, to protect her secret tryst with a married man (Max Greenfield), Olivia (Samara Weaving) convinces a valet named Antonio (Eugenio Derbez) to pretend to be the starlet’s new boyfriend in hopes of putting the paparazzi off the real story.

Zombie-adjacent, 2017’s Mayhem is a balls-to-the-wall action-horror that offers the opportunity for mass carnage over 86 minutes (while also taking a few pointed jabs at corporate culture). Steven Yeun stars as mid-level exec Derek Cho and Samara Weaving as desperate client Melanie Cross whom he rebuffs. Shortly after that interaction, Derek’s bosses throw him to the wolves to protect their own asses. However, before either can be escorted out of the building, the offices are locked down for a viral outbreak of “Red Eye.”

R.J. Decker – Pilot

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: R.J. Decker – Pilot
  • IMDb: link

The “Pilot” episode of R.J. Decker feels every bit a mid-season replacement that was taken out of the oven a bit too soon. A bit overstuffed, the episode introduces us to former news photographer R.J. Decker (a scruffy Scott Speedman) who is sent to jail after attacking an influential rich man’s son attempting to rob him. His trip to the big house is hastened by the the man’s sister Emi (Jaina Lee Ortiz) whose perjury seals the deal. Although all of this is referred to, the only pieces we see on-screen are RJ’s last day in court, sleeping with Emi, and seeing her testimony send him off to prison.
