Movie Review: Paranormal Activity 3

It boggles my mind that there are websites that will give the recent The Thing prequel a negative review for repeating the beats of the John Carpenter original, but will give Paranormal Activity 3 a positive review.  Now don’t get me wrong, Paranormal 3 brings a good amount of scares and jumps, and is mostly successful, but the movie rips off everything from the old BBC TV movie Ghostwatch (worth seeking out) to Poltergeist, Halloween:The Curse of Michael Myers, and even the first two movies in the franchise.

The thing about PA3 is that it’s largely effective as a scary movie.  Until the last fifteen minutes, the film actually does a good job of racketing up tension and throwing a good jump scare at you every couple of minutes.  The problems with the movie actually don’t come from the acting or the scares, but from the very basics of the story and the direction.  It’s hard to go into too many details without spoiling things, so let’s talk a bit more after the jump, shall we?

Remember…SPOILERS AFTER THE JUMP!

Star Trek: Aegean – Episode 3 – Starships and Storyhooks

This time around, we decide on class of starship and name as well as kick around a few storyhooks.  One thing we mis-state all through the episode is the class of starship we settle on.  Excelsior not Excalibur.

Sorry about that.

The Avengers Trailer!

The official Avengers trailer is now online…and pretty badass.  I’ll save snarky nitpicks until after the trailer.

So…it does bug me a little that the first 30 seconds of the trailer make this seem a lot like a Transformers movie.  I was hoping for a better look at the Hulk, but I guess we’ll see more in the next trailer.  I mean, we’re still a while away from the film being released.  Oh, and the song selection, despite being a great song…really could have been something a little more recent.

Nitpicks aside, I’m actually pretty impressed by the trailer.  High hopes for this one.  Watch in HD at Apple.
