CHINATOWN

This movie is a little bit older, but it is still a good one. Chinatown was one of my favorite Jack Nicholson movies. This movie was made in 1974 and took place in the 1940's. When you watched Chinatown you really feel like it is the 1940's. Nicholson did a great job of playing a private-eye in this film. This movie set a standard for private-eye movies. After Chinatown, many movies of the same type have tried to copy from this movie unsuccsessfully. If you havn't had a chance to see this film yet, you need to. For those of you who saw this movie and liked, you should check out the sequel, The Two Jakes. Below, I have included a little information about the movie.
