Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B (2014)
I am very upset.
I have never watched a movie about a musician's life that did not feature any hit songs that helped to make them popular. Did the director and writer think that Aaliyah's fans was going to over look this massive flaw? Well, I didn't. And to top it off, none of the characters looked like the people they were meant to portray. Really, you used a skinny woman to play Missy Elliot? Although the girl was pretty who played Aaliyah, someone else that favored her more should have played the role. I couldn't get past the small details that were missing. Sometimes it's the small things that can make a big difference. Also, they made this movie without Aaliyah's family blessings, and I believe this one of the major reasons this film is such a big disappointment. I am so upset. Please, someone remake this movie for the sake of her memory.
Down the Road (2012)
Who plays hopscotch in the street?
The movie starts with Hunter's (Brain Gallagher) daughter being killed by a drunk driver as she plays hopscotch on a two lane road in front of her house even though they had a drive way; Hunter witnesses his daughter's death, and now he seeks revenge. Well its not hard to figure out who the killer is, and why he is killing they give that away in the first 30mins. Since "Nobody Gets Out Alive" was not suspenseful, the movie should have had a brilliant plot, fantastic killing scenes, and decent acting...right; Wrong!
The plot had a few holes in it; for example, how the Hunter's daughter was killed, very stupid. Also I did not make a connection to the main character, Jen. I actually was more attached to Jared, who sadly played a small roll.
Out of all the death scenes, I only liked one, and the rest were very plain. The killer would of been better off using a gun; yes it was that bad. Not only were the death scenes plain, but they looked fake. The special effects were horrible.
The acting was okay at times, but it was terrible when it counted the most, for instance, during the death scenes and when they were being chased.
I rated this movie a 4 because it had potential, it was easy to follow, and some what entertaining. If the acting was more believable, and the death scenes a bit more unique it could have raise the score 3 to 4 points.

The Cloth (2013)
Was it really that bad?
I love when movies jump right into the action, and "The Cloth" did not fail me in this area. On the other hand, this film jumped so far into the action that character building was neglected. The only thing that I learned about the main character, Jason, after 45mins of viewing was that he liked to club, he liked sex, he knew a preacher, and his whole family was killed.
After 45mins I was clueless to why the main character was the chosen one to fight in the war, why did the preacher have a key to his apartment, and why was there a long drawn out exorcist scene in the beginning because they could have just shot the b**ch with the crucifix weapon. Because of the lack of character building and plot holes I stop watching at 45mins.
There were other faults like the acting, the mood, the unnecessary use of graphics; in fact the graphics seemed out of place.
I thought the sound effects where great and the music blended in well.
Although I thought the movie sucked, I think the director could have potential. I understood where he or she was going with the film, but he or she missed it by a long shot.
