March 4, 2003

"Half Past Dead" (2002)

This is a Steven Seagal action movie that also stars Morris Chestnut and Ja Rule. Seagal plays Sascha Petrosevitch, an undercover FBI agent who poses as an inmate at the reopened Alcatraz while trying to bring down a huge crime organization. Nick (Rule) is an actual inmate there, and Donny (Chestnut) is a corrections officer. The prison also holds a man named Lester who knows where $200 million in stolen gold is hidden. Donny and a commando group, known as the 49ers, parachute onto Alcatraz to try to force Lester to reveal the location of the $200 million and end up taking a visiting female U.S. Supreme Court Justice hostage. Sascha and Nick team up to try to rescue the Justice and bring the 49ers under control, which results in martial-arts fights, shoot-outs, and explosions.

    "Jonah: A Veggie Tales Movie" (2002)

    In this children's animated film, talking vegetables tell a version of the Biblical tale of Jonah and the whale. The Veggie Tale series has been around on video for several years, but "Jonah" is the first to be released theatrically. The intent of the series is to teach kids good moral values, but to do so in an entertaining way. In "Jonah," some vegetables are driving to a pop concert when they end up in a strange restaurant, where a tale of compassion and mercy is told in flashback: God orders the prophet Jonah to go to the evil city of Nineveh, but Jonah can't face it. He disobeys God's command and goes out to sea on a ship that runs into a huge storm. Jonah ends up being swallowed by a whale, and the prophet fears he'll die in the beast's belly. But God intervenes and gives Jonah a second chance.

    "The Ring" (2002)

    This horror movie is an American remake of the Japanese film "Ringu."

In "The Ring," Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) is a newspaper reporter and single mom raising a young son (David Dorfman). After some teenagers watch a videotape and die, Rachel decides to look into the matter, recruiting her friend Noah (Martin Henderson) to help her. Rachel and Noah watch the tape and see frightening images. Then spooky things begin to happen, and Rachel and Noah fear they may be doomed. They set out on an investigation, which takes them to a strange island where a weird man (Brian Cox) resides. As their seven days pass, Rachel and Noah try to figure out what's going on.
