lol man my girl dragged me to go see paranormal this weekend. it sucked, by far the worst movie ive seen in years.

the whole movie theater was laughing at the movie. it was funny as hell. at the end half the movie theater booed.

just a bunch of "did you hear that?" or the occasional door closing by itself stuff.

to each his own, but i found the movie to be a total waste of time and money. the only good part was the bottle of wine i was enjoying.

go skins!!

To each his own is right, it's totally raking in the cash though. I think it's number one at the box office.

Just caught a Halloween classic-to-be... rent "Trick 'r Treat" if you can. Really creative film for the Halloween holiday.

Has anyone caught Surrogates yet? Is it worth watching in the Theatre or should I just catch it On Demand or something.

dmek25 · 10-23-2009, 05:21 PM

watched drag me to hell last night. one of the worst movies of all time

BDBohnzie · 10-26-2009, 10:45 AM

Watched Adventureland on Saturday night. When I first saw the previews, I figured it was just Superbad at an Amusement Park. I was wrong, and it ended up being a decent movie. Definitely worth the Redbox rental (which is where we got it from).

Saw Eastern Promises this weekend, brutal but pretty good.

I'm in the midst of my annual "The Week Of Halloween Horror Flick Fest" now. I used to watch horror movies all the time but not so much now.

Watched The Exorcist for about the 10,000th time this weekend. What a classic! Nothing like watching it at home alone, in the dark, while drinking some Saranac Pumpkin Ale. That movie still creeps me out.

Then on Saturday I went over to my sisters and watched The Haunting in Connecticut, which was not the greatest unless you like random creepy images and lots of pop-up scares. The funniest part about it to me was that I've seen specials on The Discovery Channel about the house that inspired it and they were creepier than the movie itself.
We also watched The Strangers, which was a little better than I expected. It was one of those movies that can cause your imagination to get the best of you because I guess it could really happen. It also claims to be based on a true story but I usually don't put too much stock into that.

Any, I really want to see Paranormal Activity but I don't know if I'll get the chance before this weekend.

You ever pick up on some of the hidden images placed throughout the movie? Some are pretty obvious, but a lot aren't unless you go frame by frame in some parts.

Great movie, still gives me goosebumps when watching it.

Yeah, I noticed one that I had never caught before.

SPOILER if you haven't seen this 30 year old movie

Right before Fr. Damien jumps out of the window after he lets the demon possess him there is a flash of his mother's face on the window. As many times as I've seen the movie I don't think I ever noticed that before.

yeah that's one you need to pause to see

There's one that always creeps the heck outta me, I forget which part exactly but you can see the outline of a demon standing in the shadows behind a door.

Creepiest moment in the movies ever for me. It's just a flash and you only see it for a second, but in that split second it as if all that is evil is grinning victoriously at you.

I LOVE horror films and this is the best time of the year to watch them. AMC has their horror feast run this week.

Check out Trick r Treat pretty good flick, didn't really scary the crap out of me but it also didn't make me want to throw up. Now a days horror is just about how gross can we be. I love a horror film that has a good pilot line as well not just gore. I also like to go back and re-visit older horror films and watch the begining of them when things are all still nice and think wow you guys are really in for it!

I still need to pick out my film for Sat., any suggestions? I may re-visit Polgertist.

mredskins · 10-26-2009, 12:50 PM

This is one of the scarest scenes to me in movie history. No gore was needed either.

YouTube - Exorcist III 'Legion' - Nurse Station...
