My Thoughts:
I always liked the Paranormal Activity films... and while I did like this one... it just caught me as more of the same. Maybe I wasn't truly in the mood to watch this one today or something but I just found I didn't enjoy it as much as I normally do.

My Rating:

My Thoughts:

Every time a person in Hollywood with limited film making skills calls in a bunch of favors a truly abysmal movie is born!  :redcard:

Stories Of Lost Souls is the perfect example of that. Seven short vignettes, all vying to be the worst. Yeeesh! A remarkable cast including Hugh Jackman, Cate Blanchett, James Gandofini, Keira Knightly and others give face time, some of them not even uttering a word as two of these shorts had no dialogue whatsoever. The Illeana Douglas short was particularly stupid and included... wait for it... Jeff Goldblum! Shocker! Every time someone tries to turn film into art there he is spouting out random gibberish. :voodoo:

I did find the last short with Gandolfini mildly entertaining as it was the only one that at least made sense at the end but for the most part this is a complete waste of time that only eccentric artists and stoners might find entertaining.  :thumbdown:

The 2013 Pilot Review, a review by DJ Doena


The Goldbergs

The Goldbergs @ IMDb
The Goldbergs @ Wikipedia

Synopsis: A retro comedy that reflects the "best" and worst of the 80s. The story is shown through the home-video camera of son Adam who is a reflection of the real Adam Goldberg, creator of the show.

My Opinion: I suppose this is the 80s counterpart to That 70's Show but it just doesn't work for me and I am about the same age as the creator! If I want to remember the 80s America, I remember MacGyver and Mr. T and Michael Knight, not some suburban kid with a video camera.
