Nope. There was nothing interesting or thrilling at all about Paranormal Activity. It was an over-hyped bore of a film.Edward said:... Should I give Paranormal Activity a chance?

Miss Golightly said:I hated Blair Witch - I remember watching it in the cinema and wondering what on earth all the fuss was about - I think all the hype surrounding it killed it for me. I wouldn't compare the two to be honest - the only thing they have in common is a low budget. I would be interested to hear what you think about it if you get a chance to see it.
On the whole I love horror films - particularly of the psychological type - like the French movies "Ils" - have you seen it?

I concur on all counts--great looking film, poor storytelling. And it definitely had the look of the Fleischer cartoons.Doctor Strange said:We discussed Sky Captain back when it came out:

I still feel that it's a beautiful-looking flick that entertainingly references a boatload of 30s/40s stuff... but it's dramatically DOA. Dumb plot, terrible pacing, lame dialog, and little-to-no chemistry between the actors... It proves that they should never let somebody who's never directed a movie before, and whose skills are that of a maverick techno-nerd rather than a storyteller, helm a feature!
Ha, possibly! It is an insult to horror cinema to put Paranormal Activity in that genre.Edward said:ove and some hate.... is this the Marmite of horror cinema? lol

I wasn't going to argue with her.
The other day I saw the DVD for sale, and when debating whether to buy it or wait, the thought crossed my mind of how I love Julia and hate Julie...they should produce a special version with just Julia!Miss Golightly said:Julie & Julia - Meryl Streep was superb (as always) and I enjoyed the movie but would have preferred if the movie was solely based on her life - I really wanted to know more about her. For me the "Julie" part of the story was just all terribly dull and detracted from the story.
I have the exact same recollection.Miss Golightly said:I hated Blair Witch - I remember watching it in the cinema and wondering what on earth all the fuss was about

Spitfire said:Here it was the other way. I finally persuaded my wife to see it.
Her comment was: "OK - but too much flying for my taste"
I said: "Well it's just like a George Clooney movie - too much George Clooney for my taste"
I mean, what did she expect - should they ride bicycles?
lol
