movie recommendations
We saw Paranormal Activity in the theater a couple weeks ago. Boyfriend gets the idea to get a video camera and try to catch the whatever-it-is on film, when spooky things start happening... again, for his girlfriend; apparently she's been stalked by something since she was a kid, so it's attached to her rather than to the house. I thought it was pretty good, and Stormy enjoyed it, too. Actually, now that I read that it was shot in just 7 days in the writer-director's own home, where middle-of-the-night "incidents" had actually been going on for years, and never initially intended to be a theatrical release, I think it was damn good. The creepiness starts very subtle and builds up, but remains very low gore. The audience really gets into it, so if you find that kind of thing fun (it was actually a little much for me, I found some of the audience noise annoying), see it in the theater. (Caveat below.) The downside? All the camera motion on the big screen (most of it is filmed with the actor carrying the camera around, sometimes running with it, a la Blair Witch) made Cern sick. Literally, actually sick. He had to run from the theater to throw up. If you're at all prone to motion sickness or have ever felt queasy watching movies or video games with a lot of motion, then don't see this one in the theater. We just saw Cloverfield, this one on dvd at home. We both liked this one. I don't know whether the camera was a lot steadier (I think it was at least somewhat), or whether it was more because it was on the small (well, smaller than theater, anyway) screen, but it didn't produce nausea like the other one. Modernized Godzilla Plus movie, from the point of view of a handful of young-ish adults who are just filming a going-away party when all hell breaks loose. We get an up-close view of what's going on at ground zero because one guy decides to go back for his girl rather than be evacuated, and the others tag along. No idea how different or motion-sickness-inspiring it would be on the big screen, but it's not playing right now anyway. Definitely worth renting or Netflixing. |
