Thriller, 2009 (Rated R)

A couple on their honeymoon in Hawaii meet up with another pair after news breaks that there has been a brutal murder on a nearby island. As time goes on the newlyweds second guess their decision to tag along and hike this rural trail together. As they travel together and they become wary of their new friends. Nick is an ex military special ops trained war vet and Gina is a free spirited sweet yet tough girl. Both couples cross paths with a strange hard edged couple that looks like trouble. If anyone killed anyone it seems that they are the likely suspects but you quickly realize that looks can be deceiving.

• I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
• There was an amazing unexpected twist and everything that led up to it kept me guessing.
• Stunning Hawaii backdrop with vibrant beautiful colors. Spending 3 days hiking through muddy trails and sleeping in tents is NOT my idea of fun but the scenery was beautiful.
• Jovovich does it again. I love her as an actress. She is as engaging to watch as she is beautiful.

The Fourth Kind

Starring: Milla Jovovich

Thriller, 2009

This movie is based on the true story of Dr. Abigail Tyler who was a psychotherapist in small town Nome Alaska . It focuses on what happened after her husband dies in 2000 while they are both in the midst of delving into some strange incidents being reported by her patients. What happens to Dr. Tyler and her family are said to be related to alien encounters of the 4Th kind. What you believe is for you to decide.

• I didn't know too much coming into this movie except that Jovovich was in it and that it looked scary. That was enough to make me want to see it.
• I found it very interesting how the raw footage from the actual events are shown in a split screen with scenes from the movie. The acting was so excellent that the movie scenes very closely resembled the real footage.
• It is especially chilling that everything in the movie is based upon actual audio and video recordings.
• This was a good movie. It had some good scary moments but when I walked out of the theatre I could only describe it as OK.
• It definitely gets you thinking about what might be out there can't be explained and that we know very little about.
