_**Erotic drama/thriller at a ski resort in Ontario with Nicole Eggert & the 2 Coreys**_ During the off season, two brothers (Corey Haim and Corey Feldman) work at a ski resort in the Northeast as one of them starts dating the daughter of the owner (Nicole Eggert and Jean LeClerc). Unfortunately, she has parent issues and a penchant for settling mundane problems in dubious ways. “Blown Away” (1993) is a drama/thriller with some surprising softcore thrown in (and shouldn’t be confused with the 1994 theatrical film with Tommy Lee Jones and Jeff Bridges). I say “surprising” because I wasn’t expecting erotica in a made-for-TV crime drama featured on Roku. In that respect it’s similar to “Two Moon Junction” (1988) and “Embrace of the Vampire” (1995) except that this is a different genre (but not too different). Needless to say, if bits of softcore nudity and sex turn you off, I suggest staying away. If you can roll with it, however, the Ontario ski resort locations offer a great setting for the drama and Eggert is easy on the eyes, not to mention Kathleen Robertson (Darla) and a couple peripherals. Haim is decent as the naïve coming-of-age protagonist, although what he does in a shady bar stretches credibility. Meanwhile Feldman is surprisingly convincing as the darker sibling. Haim and Feldman were of course known as The Two Coreys, real-life close friends who appeared in 9 movies together, including “The Lost Boys” (1987). Unfortunately, Haim lost his long struggle with drug addiction and died of pneumonia in 2010. Feldman later released an autobiography of their friendship in 2020 that exposed their sexual abuse as kids in the industry called “My Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys.” The movie worked for me mostly due to the excellent setting and interesting cast, but there is some questionable acting and the story devolves into unbelievable melodrama in the third act. The film runs 1 hour, 32 minutes, and was shot at Talisman Mountain Resort in Kimberly, Ontario, as well as Pickering College in Newmarket, which is about a 45-minute drive southeast of the resort in the greater Toronto area. GRADE: B-
