I know I'm late to the Paranormal Activity party but after watching this movie I felt compelled to write about it.

This movie is not good at all.

I found a jellybean!

It's very boring and not scary at all. Some people say its creepy in its realism, I find it to be boring in its realism. Seriously, the whole movie shows these two people talking and bickering with each other. The rest of the movie shows the guy in the house proving to himself and viewers that there is an entity in the house. DUH! We are convinced there is something there, now move a long to something else. I find a door that moves slightly, pushed by some invisible thing not very scary. In fact while watching the movie, I found it odd that people sleep with the door always open. The house felt so fake to me and the movie so boring that when they would walk through the house I would look at all the photos and no where in the house were there any family pictures. Just the two of them in photos a la Myspace.

Bringing the psychic in didn't help the movie any. "Oh ders sumtin 'ere. Ain't ghost, sumtin mo' powahfull. 'tis a deman in 'ere 'ouse. Call up de buddy." Actually it would have been more entertaining if it was said in a weird accent like the witch from Pirates of the Carribbean. Instead we got a guy who apparently was scared, said he had a friend who was a Demonologist and who could handle it. Except apparently in San Diego, there is only 1 Demonologist and he was away climbing Mt. Everest or whatever other reason for not being there. PUH-lease.

The rest of the movie consisted of the guy trying to contact the demon, the girl sleepwalking and staring, and the both yelling, "what is that!" Every time the door slammed or a noise was made or whatever. Bitch! we know what it is, its a demon, kill it or die. Do something fun!

I seriously can't believe people liked this movie. I want my money back. Like seriously. There was a petition to get this movie into more theaters, I want to start a petition to be refunded money for watching such a drool film. The only Paranormal activity going on around here is how this movie made so much money. A testament to the marketing genius of the movie and not to the substance.

I give this film 1 point out of ten and give it a thousand swift kicks to the nuts out of ten.

So, for my enjoyment and all of yours I hope, I’m going to share with you all the summer movies, mostly blockbusters that I am excited for. So without further adieu…

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

I am excited for this new X-Men movie. I do hope that too many things aren’t broken in the continuity of the time line leading up to the trilogy of the X-Men movies. Should be fun to watch.

Star Trek

Now this movie is really interesting. It wasn’t really my generation that was wholly into Star Trek. But this reboot may open it up many more people. Its clean and stylish and as long as it doesn’t get soapy then it should be awesome.

Terminator: Salvation

This is a movie I’m dying to see. I mean nevermind all the time travel paradox but Christian Bale will kick ass as John Connor and hopefully Skynet shall fall.

Year One

Haha, a lot of really funny comedians with improvisational experience will surely make this a very funny movie. Even if sometimes the improv won’t hit the head on the nail always, this is one comedy I’m really looking forward too.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Need I really say more? The last movie was great. This movie has a darker tone and seemingly more action.

2012

This movie could be fun. If only because it’ll feed on some of our fears that 2012 the world may end. hopefully this movie isn’t full of FAIL, but like a lot of disaster flicks it probably is. Still, I will watch it.

G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra

Well, as a kid, I always enjoyed G.I. Joe with their laser bullets and futuristic yet 80’s technology. Plus even when tanks and helicopters were destroyed, no one managed to die as every enemy always seemed to escape. this movie could rock being full of action and what not. Or this movie could suck ass. My bet on the latter, but I’ll still give it 6 bucks.

Those are the flicks that I will be sure to check out when the come to theaters. there are plenty of other films that I’d like to see during the summer as well but i really just wanted to bring you what I think are going to be the biggest blockbusters.

Got any that you think I missed that you’d like to share? Please do so.

Well seeing that the new Punisher: Warzone movie is coming out, Maxim put together a brief little history of the Punisher and it
is really funny. I want to see the new movie for the great one liners of, "god bless you Frank." To which Frank (The Punisher) responds, "Sometimes… I’d like to get my hands on God."

Awesome.

Check out the Maxim Punisher time line

What do you think?

  Want a movie with crisp tight action scenes, thrilling car chases and EXPLOSIONS? Then this movie is for you– er, well sometimes. Transporter 3 can sometimes drag worse than a mental patient’s feet.

Don’t get me wrong. I think its a very enjoyable movie for all the reasons described above. Don’t worry about the unoriginal plot, the cheesy dialogue, or the one dimensional characters, the fight scenes are BADASS!

Jason Statham does a great job reprising his role as the Transporter Frank Martin. His awesomeness is at its peak when he shows his mastery of anything with wheels when he BMXes to get his car back from the guy who jacked it.

The biggest problem the movie has is in my opinion is the girl Valentina played by the sexyily befreckeled Natalya Rudakova. Her character just isn’t fleshed out any and boy is her character annoying. "Vhat is carseat? Vhat you mean this optimisim? "I am not Russian, I am Ukrainian." Bitch who cares, you’re generic! The scenes between Frank and Valentina were excruciatingly sloooow and piled in between awesome action it only made you feel as if you were being teased, like that hot chick Action was giving you the Boring Blue Balls. With the sappy piano playing during these "soft" scenes I swear that if I had a gun, I would have ate a bullet.

Again, I liked the movie to a certain extent. Abridge the movie taking out the worst sappy scenes and you have one hell of a ride.

Captain America is dope and I’m sure this is to get the Avengers movie going

From the director of the movie Disturbia, D.J Caruso, comes the movie Eagle Eye.
Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) and Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan) are two strangers thrown together by a woman’s voice on the phone. Threatening their lives and the ones they love, this mysterious woman moves Jerry and Rachel around like pawns on a chessboard using cell phones, surveillance cameras and other everyday technology to prod and control their movements. As their situation becomes more dire, they themselves become the nation’s most wanted fugitives. Working together, Jerry and Rachel must figure out who is behind it, and what is really happening and more importantly, why them.

Eagle Eye is a roller coaster ride. frantic and fast, the movie does a great job making you feel how the main characters must feel. The controlling forces throws the characters around at a pace where they can never sit and speculate at what may be behind it all and so the panic of do or die translates to the audience as the action keeps them at the edge of their seat.

A wonderful action flick, the ideas that make up this movie are hardly original but this doesn’t detract from the excitement or surprises of the movie. Billy Bob Thornton who plays Agent Thomas Morton does a great job with a bit of comedy by throwing out half-jokes. However, his character is dedicated to stopping the threat to the nation. As always Shia LaBeouf also adds his bit of funny-in-a-natural-way to the movie.

Eagle eye is a well balanced movie, displaying the humor and sacrifices of the characters as well as harrowing action scenes and delectable car chases to keep the audience’s pulse pounding.
