I hadn’t heard of this movie until last night when my friend Casey and I were trying to find a movie to go see. We watched the trailer online and thought it looked good. We were right.

The Jacket is one of those movies that gets you thinking and will definitely require a second viewing once the DVD comes out. The story is about Jack Starks (Adrien Brody), a man accused of killing a cop. He doesn’t remember anything and is sent to a mental institution where some of his treatments involve a jacket. I won’t go into any more detail on that. A girl named Jackie (Keira Knightley) helps Starks find the answers that he needs.

Adrien Brody played an excellent part and has to be one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. Keira Knightley doesn’t even need to say anything to look good in a film, but did a good job as well. If you’d like to see here nude, this is a film for you. 🙂

Overall it was a great flick with a suspenseful and mind working plot. I’m already looking forward to the DVD release to answer some of my questions. I give The Jacket a B+.

I’ve watched Predator and the Alien movies, so when I had heard about AVP I knew I’d watch it, but wasn’t all that excited.

When I watched AVP earlier this week I was very satisfied with the film. Whoever came up with the story did a wonderful job of bringing the two different creatures together for an exciting plot that is believable at the same time. The acting was decent, the special effects were pretty good, and the movie kept my interest.

After the opening scene of the movie, you don’t see an Alien or a Predator for quite some time, which was a bit confusing, but it quickly made sense as the story progressed. The one part about the movie that I didn’t like was their dead giveaway; I knew who would end up saving the day right from the start.

Overall, AVP is a very good movie and delivers where it’s supposed to. I give it a B+.

Last night I went to see this movie with a few friends. Coach Carter is one of the best sports movies I’ve ever seen. It’s based on a true story, so the plot is great and the movie was put together really well.

Samuel L. Jackson is always great and this movie is no exception. He plays the part of Coach Carter, a strict man looking to change the system. By the end of the film, he has changed the lives of his players, made boys into men, and become their friend. A feel good story all the way.

The movie was done well all-around. I’d never seen a lot of the actors, but they did well. Ashanti even plays a part in the film and comes through with a good performance. The basketball scenes from made me think I was actually watching a game. There were parts when I was squirming in my seat, because it was if I wanted to cheer when someone made a shot.

Overall it’s a great movie with a great story. Go see it. I give it a A.

Ever since I saw previews for the Village I wanted to see it and couldn’t wait for the DVD to be released. Even though I’ve heard mixed reviews about the movie I still wanted to watch it. I’m glad I did.

M. Night Shyamalan comes through with an amazing thriller that keeps you guessing. If you ask me, I think it’s a much better film than Signs, but not at the level of The Sixth Sense.The Village is an entirely different type of story than has been seen before and it works extremely well. Some may say it’s a little far fetched, but I’d have to disagree. In fact, I thought it was a brilliant plot.

For fear of giving away any details about the movie, I’ll stop here and let you see it for yourself. I give it a B+.

Ever since the ending of the first Resident Evil, I had been waiting for this movie to come out. After failing to see it in the theaters, I bought the DVD. Resident Evil: Apocalypse is a good movie, but definitely not as good as the first was.

Apocalypse takes place in Raccoon City, where Alice (Milla Jovovich) escapes from the medical facility to defeat the T-virus, which has been let out of the Hive. She meets up with Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory), a hot rougue cop that reminds me of the Lara Croft character, and they work together in an attempt to get out of the city before it is destroyed.

The special effects aren’t anything to get excited about and the story isn’t all that great either. I hope they improve on it for the next film. I give the movie a B.
