Paranormal Activity

by tss on Saturday, October 17th, 2009

For starters, up until the end of this movie it was perfect. This is how the stuff goes down. The story was accurate in its portrayal … completely and totally so. Everything I have ever read, heard, saw or experienced can absolutely happen in this manner. Demonic infestation is nothing to laugh about. This kind of paranormal activity is not all cute like they portray on TV, kids. It is ugly and painful and can hurt families and kill people.

Paranormal Activity centers on a couple. Micah is trying to figure out what is happening with his girlfriend, Katie, and their home. Apparently she hears her name being whispered and there has been knocking and scratching noises in the walls. So he begins to film. There is a psychic that gives her the phone number of a guy that may be able to help them. Because the demon has Micah thinking he can figure this out on his own (by setting up different puzzles, puzzles which are always almost solved by Micah but not solvable at all), he asks her to not call the number.

In real life, demons make you think you are in control and that you can fix the situation on your own because you are finding answers to the clues they leave which always lead to more clues and paths. In actuality you are finding no answers and you are spiraling down into their control. This film shows this to perfection and is one of the more recent films to actually stay true to this for most of the film. This is how shit goes down in the world of demons. The movie is a great example of that.

The characters in this film are corny. Probably much like you and I. There is no Hollywood polish on the dialogue and I am very happy about that because it seems quite natural. There are inside relationship jokes thrown in for good measure and Oren Peli really brought the characters to life with this … not that glitz life everyone is beginning to think is real.

Funny thing, Micah has this camera and he wants so bad to film he and his girl doing the dugout dip that he practically begs. And every time he begs she turns him down and he turns the camera off. If it was me I would have used the setting to turn the power light off so she didn’t know it was running and stream that stuff live on my Facebook account.

Out of respect for Oren and the rest of the cast and crew I will not spoil the ending of this movie. I do have to say that I did not like the ending. It felt as though it was a bit rushed. No offense to anyone involved in the project … I just did not like the ending.

I am going to say if you absolutely have to be scared and want to see something other than the mainstream horror swill this is the movie to see right now. This beat the hell out of Zombieland. Go and see it.

Couples Retreat

by tss on Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Let’s cover the highlights as speaking about the predictable plot could get tedious for me.

Faizon Love: I really dig this guy. He is the character that let soiled condoms lay around in Blue Crush (I love that movie). This guy has the two things that make me laugh the most. He is fat and funny. Nothing more to say about this dude, but I really do dig him.

Vince Vaughn: The best dialogue ever is when Vince admits to hustling one of the hotel workers in Guitar Hero. Funny stuff. Vince delivers any line as if it was meant for him. Great stuff as usual from Vince.

Jon Favreau: Oh, man, this guy is funny. Without his shirt Jon looks like a doughy Lou Ferigno. Like if Lou was to stop weight lifting and begin eating pizza full time … that is Jon Favreau. As funny as Vince is in this film, Jon trumps it in a scene where he tries to talk a hotel masseuse into giving him a happy ending. It was a thing of beauty. Though he never did get the hand-job, it was a main highlight of this film.

Kristen Davis: This chick plays a mighty fine married woman on the prowl and the wife of john Favreau. She, like her husband in the movie, also tries to get a big of digital manipulation from her masseuse. Very endorphin driven.

Carlos Ponce: This guy played the yoga instructor. Now, this guy get the award for the most perverted person in the film. He basically gets everyone into different positions and dry humps his genitals on them. When he does this he says the word, “Boom.” Then he pats them on the ass and says, “Encouragement.” I have nothing more to say about this guy.

Yes this movie was funny. Must you see this on the big screen. No. It’s a comedy and this is one you can watch almost anywhere. Hell, I could watch this on my Treo and get the same effect. Plus, watching another predictable, happy ending comedy on the big screen may just piss you off regardless if you paid matinee prices or not. Now, if you can sneak into the theater for the happy ending conversation … then you got a winner. Save seeing this movie for the couch. Until then … boom with much encouragement.
