Paranormal Activity (2009)

16 October 2009 12:38 PM, PDT | Pretty/Scary | See recent pretty-scary news »

Written and directed by Oren Peli

Starring Demon Off Camera, Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat

Review by Lis Fies

If you haven't seen Paranormal Activity by now, it can't possibly live up to its word of mouth and you're probably a more experienced genre-lover who is over 25. That being said, there's some good content of the Pretty/Scary nature that makes this 11k ultra-low-budget phenom a solid choice for your Halloween bucks.

As you've heard, because you're a smart horror-lover not born under a rock, the movie basically stars a girl, a boy, a camera, and an off-camera demon...

The use of the camera is fairly ingenius, and the nauseating effects of queasy-cam are kept to a minimum by the very effective use of locking the camera down on a creepy tripod shot of the couple's bedroom every night over... what did the day count end up being? A month? »

Love Happens

19 September 2009 6:52 PM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

I have not lost anyone significant in my life, not lately anyways.  The last close relative of mine who died was my grandfather in ’91 so I have not had to go through the healing process of grief in a very long time (knock on wood).  My wife, however, has not been so fortunate.  Her mother died just last year and I’ve seen the pain she’s had to go through, and is still going through, to be able to move on.  She and I saw this movie on two different levels.  Aaron Eckhart plays Burke, a psychologist whose wife died in a car crash.  As he went through the healing process, he wrote what it takes to move past the death of a loved one in a book he titled A-Okay.  The book helped many people and soon he began doing book tours and, eventually, seminars, which is where »

American Apparel Honcho Denies Playing Dirty With Woody

7 May 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Woody Allen might find a movie in here somewhere, but we're still not sure whether it's Crimes and Misdemeanors or Hollywood Ending. The founder of American Apparel is denying that he's playing up salacious details of the director's personal life to beat back a $10 million lawsuit Allen has filed against the company. Allen claims American Apparel used his image from Annie Hall for billboards and online advertising without permission. "The media has misinformed the public that American Apparel supposedly plans to make Woody Allen's personal life the central focus of our defense. This is false," American Apparel CEO Dov Charney writes on the company's blog. "It has also been reported... »

We Can't Wait #18 Whatever Works

5 February 2009 9:30 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Directed by Woody Allen

Starring Evan Rachel Wood, Larry David, Patty Clarkson and Kristen Johnston

Synopsis Aging New York City man begins romance with a much younger (what a surprise!) southern gal and has wacky encounters with her family.

Brought to you by Sony Pictures Classics

Expected Release Date Summer

Fox: I have a Woody Allen blind spot. Meaning, the man could put out crap for the rest of his life, and I would still hold out hope that the next time around would produce one of his good ones. I'm also not one to jump all over Allen's post-80s output. Not at all. I quite like many of the films he made in the last twenty years. However, personally, I can do without any more European Scarlett Johannson jaunts.

I have high expectations for Whatever Works because it has a unique comic supporting cast in Ed Begley Jr. and Kristen Johnston. »
