Quarantine: Think again

By Sable Harris

Once again that time of the year has come for the spooky, scary movies. Maybe you should second-guess your decision on what or what not to see in the theaters!

The 2008 thriller Quarantine may sound chilling, but it is just another New Zealand remake. The film takes place in a cordoned off apartment building. As reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) shadows two fire men Jack (Jay Hernandez) and George (Jonathon Sehaech) as they are called into duty to this barricaded apartment building. Angela soon sees that being a firefighter isn’t just a walk up the ladder.

As the tenants, Vidal, and the fire department are all confined to the apartment by the government, the quarantined victims begin to go crazy and attack the healthy victims. They are attacked one by one by the quarantined apartment tenants.
This film is overwhelmed with action, and it begins to get a little bit boring. The constant attacks and containment in the apartment begins to get repetitive I give the movies two and a half squares.

"Secret Life of Bees"

By Germika Sanders

There are many different ways you can go about understanding the life of a lost soul. "The Secret Life of Bees" illustrates this by following a motherless child named Lilly (Dakota Fanning) and a housekeeper named Rosalynn (Jennifer Hudson) who escape from their small town in hopes of finding out who Lilly’s mom really was.
   

In the process of their journey they came across a magenta two-story house that belonged to three virtuous, kind-hearted and hardworking women.  Their names were August (Queen Latifah), June (Alicia Keys), and May (Sophie Okonedo). These women owned a honey business, which for some reason made Lilly believe she was in the right place for all her questions to be answered. The young and now blessed Lilly starts to realize who her mother was and what she was about. In addition, she experiences the dream life provided by her three guardian angles.
    

This movie by far deserves four squares. It have mystery, drama, emotional suspense and a little humor.


I personally recommend all people especially woman to go see this inspiring movie produced by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.
