So saw three movies this weekend: Paranormal Activity, Das Experiment, Zombieland (was home alone Friday and Saturday afternoon).

PA was ehh. Basic "ohh, scary things happening off camera, don't see monster a la' Blair Witch". Gave me a goosebump or two but not one that is gonna keep me up at nights. Also, just kept thinking - boy, the boyfriend is one dumb dude.

Das Experiment - Interesting, fictionalized account of the Stanford Prison Experiment fo 1971 (The Stanford Prison Experiment: A Simulation Study of the Psychology of Imprisonment). Professor has volunteers for an experiment: 8 prison guards, 12 prisoners. Experiment goes bad quickly. German subtitles. Fine to kill an afternoon with. If your current "list of movies I want to watch" is short, add it to the end. If it's long, put it in the middle somewhere.

Zombieland. - Overall, not bad. Woody Harrelson being Woody Harrelson. Emma Stone being hot. Teenage boy being angsty about Emma Stone being hot. Lots of zombies, not nearly as gory as it could have been put certainly a plenty o'blood. Good story - not just a shoot'em up zombie movie.
