The Pregnancy Pact - 2010 ***

 

One of the scary things about this movie is how acceptable it was becoming for teenage girls to get pregnant because of a supposed pact. Thora Birch, now an up and coming reporter goes back to her old school to research and discover the truth about why there have been a sudden increase in pregnancies amongst a group of girls without any good reason. It's quite a well done film, obviously based on true events at Gloucester, but it's disturbing the lengths teenagers can go to when it comes to being a part of a gang.

The Never Come Back - 1932 *

 

I think Dorothy Sebastian is the only thing that vaguely contributed to this otherwise dire film. The other actors were wooden and unemotional, the plotline was rubbish (a boxer getting injured then having to go back to fighting to help a struggling young starlet) and the production values left a lot to be desired. I wasn't expecting much from this mediocre piece, but I still hoped to be vaguely entertained. I was not.
