Synopsis: The death of a child in mysterious circumstances, and a series of events that seem to represent biblical plagues, start occurring in, of all places, a town called "Haven", located deep in the bowels of bible-belt country in the bayous of Louisiana. A former Christian missionary—now a religious-phenomena debunker—and her top open-minded personal assistant is sent to investigate. DVD Features:
Critique: This movie received a really bad rating from a lot of top-notch critics. If there is one thing I have learned over the years, it is to almost never listen to what the top-notch critics have to say. They are in a strange class of their own, going above and beyond the call of duty to take apart every nook and cranny of every film they see - when all we really wanna know is - was it entertaining? The answer to this question, as far as The Reaping is concerned, is yes - it is entertaining. This is not the "best movie ever", however, it is suspenseful, well acted and has a definite entertainment quality. Swank does an amazing job carrying this film through a few bad lines and some hokey plot points near the very end. While it does borrow a lot from other films of the same genre, it still manages a few interesting plot twists of its own. The features on the DVD are a great compliment to the production, definitely adding a boost to the value of the entire ensemble. |

A lot has happened in 2008. Of course, it will go down in history as the year America elected Obama into office, the first African-American President. And, thankfully, the last year Bush has to ruin what's left of the country he has polluted for so many years.
