The Five Provocations is a drama where Marlena (Sapidah Kian) is trying to get her restaurant finished before the opening date but has run out of money. She decides to ask her friend Paul (Tony Moclair), whose wife recently died and who Marlena had been having an affair with unbeknownst to him. But before she can ask, Paul puts up an offer involving her moving in with him and his daughter to help her save money which throws Marlena and she quite disgusted by the offer. Instead, Marlena puts up an ad for a roommate and meets Bridget (Rebecca Bower) and she moves in. Bridget has her own problems as she just found out she is pregnant and the father wants nothing to do with her. Paul is in a relationship with his nanny but can't bring himself to tell his daughter Queenie, worried about her reaction after her mother's death. Meanwhile, Clinton (Blake Osborn) is a plumber working on Marlena's restaurant and misses his daughter and is annoyed that his wife is going by herself to visit her in Paris and it comes out in an unexpected way.

OK drama that has weird interludes called provocations where women provocatively act around various characters at a crucial moment and I have no idea what the relevance is. The story itself is pretty basic and the story of the plumber feels outside of the main story and comes in at a time when the main plot is heating up which seems to make the main story come to a screeching halt. But for the most part the movie keeps interest.

Ashburn Waters

Ashburn Waters is a horror movie where a group of old friends get back together to go on an Easter long weekend camping trip. They get to the camping ground and find that it is fully booked and they forgot to book but they hear of another camping ground nearby named Ashburn Waters where a whole bunch of people were recently slaughtered by an unknown being. When they get there, it is cordoned off and the owner wards them off but they go ahead anyway. Things are fine to begin with except for a man who seems to be stalking the place but once nightfall comes, the being starts picking the friends off one-by-one and they only way out is to kill it.

Silly low budget camping horror movie, nothing new, even has the requisite nudity so you know exactly what you're getting.
