Paranormal Activity (2007)

Ignore all the hype; Paranormal Activity is a major let-down

[3/10 · 18 October 2009]

I'm a huge horror movie buff and it takes a lot to freak me out. So I was pretty excited when reviews said this movie would terrify even the most hard-core horror movie fan. Was I disappointed. The action is slow paced, and when there is something "spooky" it's not nearly as scary as the trailers lead you to believe. I'm not sure what movie that test audience was watching, but it surely could not have been Paranormal Activity.

I also had a hard time caring for the female character. I thought she had no redeeming qualities. Is it bad I was rooting for the ghost?

Paranormal Activity is a pretty tame horror film and completely miss-able. Go see Zombieland instead.

Kings and Desperate Men (1981)

A pretty bad movie

[2/10 · 9 October 2000]

I saw this movie, hoping to expect something fairly decent, since Patrick McGoohan was the star. How disappointed I was. It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Patrick McGoohan totally overacts, and that's just one of the many things that ruins this movie. His overacting sometimes got a little embarassing to watch.

Many conversations going on at the same time and weird camera angles also make this movie hard to watch. And it was overly long. I never thought it was going to end.

If you're a Patrick McGoohan fan, you should see it just because he's in it. That's why I saw it. But I'll never watch it again. I could never sit through this movie one more time.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964–1968)

If you want entertainment, watch Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea...

If you want to be really entertained, then watch Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. With a wide variety of monsters, aliens, and special guest stars, you'll want to watch this show again and again. I personally think it was one of the most clever shows and it should always be remembered.
