Paranormal Activity, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Katie Featherston Micah Sloat Mark Fredrichs Amber Armstrong Ashley Palmer Plot: YOU DEMANDED IT and now the surprise hit critics call "one of the scariest movies of all time"* can be experienced in the most terrifying place of all...your home. After a young, middle-class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be demonic but is certainly most active in the middle of the night. Especially while they sleep. Paranormal Activity builds suspense night after night all the way to the shocking ending. Roger Ebert calls it "truly scary."** Go ahead, WE DARE YOU TO WATCH IT AT HOME...at least you can leave the lights on. *bloody-disgusting.com **Roger Ebert, rogerebert.com, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES Extras: Scene Access Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes Closed Captioned My Thoughts: This is the second time I watched this one since buying it earlier this year. I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time. Before I bought this movie all I heard about it is how scary it is. Not surprisingly it didn't scare me at all. Maybe a slight chill in one or 2 scenes... possibly 1 or 2 jump scenes... but actual scares... not at all. But as I have said before... I haven't been scared by a horror movie in many... MANY years. But even so... I enjoyed the movie. After watching both endings... I can't decide which ending I prefer. Both versions had their good points. Any time I watch this again I will have trouble deciding which version I will want to watch. My Rating Out of a Possible 5 Count: Movie Count: 99 TV Ep. Count: 50 I Made It! (10/20) Other Count: 8 I Made It! (10/15) (From Month Long Horror/Halloween Marathon: 2010 on October 28th, 2010) Clue, a review by DragonfireMy Thoughts This is a really fun, entertaining movie. I remember seeing the trailers when it came out and I thought it was really interesting that there were different endings..though I thought there were more than 3 at that time. With the DVD, you can choose to see all three endings or a random ending..it seems like whenever I pick a random ending, the same one always comes up. The endings are all very different, yet they all work for the movie and what was going on. I loved Tim Curry in this. (From Dragonfire: What I've Been Watching on January 2nd, 2009) Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete First Season marathon, a review by AchimPilot (Terminator 2.5) As indicated above, I found the story line of the pilot to be rather similar to the first two movies. Nonetheless we are off to a great start! The episode starts with some quick action and then keeps a good speed throughout, only stopping occasionally to take a small breath and explain a few more things; for those few viewers who may not have seen the films and then some. The conclusion comes as a great surprise and consequently creates interest to watch more of the same. I for one am looking forward to the next episodes, hoping they can keep it up. (click to show/hide) Acting was solid. I had a little trouble to believe Thomas Dekker to be 15 years old and thought Lena Headey looked a bit two young. Summer Glau, being used to play weird outsiders, does a good job in her role as Cameron. Favorite quote (although I am paraphrasing): "You might want to put those back in the holster."
