  Leatha Accidents (2011): Dir: Nicholas Kinsey / Cast: Kristin Wallace, Virginia Leigh, Rene DeFazio, Thomas Daniel, Brad Carmichael: This film is one big stupid accident on its own. It stars Kristin Wallace and Virginia Leigh as a couple suburban house wives who plot a scheme to kill each others husband so that they can remain together. Frankly, this concept worked so much better in Horrible Bosses, while this sitcom exercise in idiocy is low budget trash. Director Nicholas Kinsey made the far superior Killing Ruth: The Snuff Dialogues the same year. Both are about women who want people dead. One is done intelligently while the other is a farce in the worst way. Wallace seems a little too over the top while the extremely stunning Leigh goes through a personality change that is too sudden and makes no sense since the scheme was her idea. Rene DeFazio plays Leigh's husband who has an affair with Wallace. Thomas Daniel plays a mail carrier who discovers the plots after one goes through successfully, and attempts blackmail. These scenes are awkward particularly his forceful manner with DeFazio who was fixing Wallace's sink. Nobody uses their brain in this film and therefore we do not give a rat's ass what happens, although the ending is a pitiful resolution at best. We are even given an explosion that is about as fake as anything else in this film. It is about the lowest excuse for a special effect. Lighting a match by someone's ass before they break wind would provide better visuals. This is a true embarrassment that appears to be one big accident in Canadian filmmaking. Score: 3 / 10
