Movie Review: The Reaping

For movies like The Reaping, I'm more than happy to wait till they come out on DVD, because honestly, it's less than half of them that are any good at all.

But I enjoyed The Reaping. It had it's lame moments of Trying Too Hard To Shock to keep the suspense up, (and someone please tell me how a hoard of locusts can kill someone,) but all in all the story was interesting, and the pace didn't let up for long, kept me guessing, and a couple good solid twists at the end.

Stephen Hopkins wisely avoided the temptation to make Hillary Swank uber-sexy by messing with her looks. Hillary Swank is a natural beauty like Milla Jovovich, who doesn't put on her makeup with a trowel like Paris Hilton. Stephen Hopkins also did not force Hillary Swank to carry the movie by stuffing the camera in her face for extended periods. Someone explain this to Peter Jackson before he tries to make King Kong 2.
