Paranormal seem like something I may wanna see, but probably won't.

Haha...I kinda was as well - the guy was annoying me.
It has it's moments, but for a budget movie it is rather effective. I was expecting more action, but I was quietly satisfied (but maybe I am biased for working in the field...)
Manic morning...hoping for a quieter afternoon, but I don't think we'll get one :S

Just been outside. It's freezing. Had 30 minutes to trade some stuff in (got Dark City Directors cut on Blu-ray and another £20 PSN card) and then deliver a card to the other side of town.

story (well-ish) and the story could have been credible terrified
lots of people.
The ending was pretty rubbish though!
Wasn't so much whether I believe this stuff or not more of the fact that I thought it was just such a boring,poorly made and ineffective horror film (aware you guys disagree).Why do we watch these films ?,I would say because being scared is fun,its a ride and one you shouldn't want to get off.Paranormal Activity just seemed to take forever going nowhere IMO.The leads were weak and annoying and by the end of it I really could not care less what happened to them and if that happens for me the movie has failed.I few years ago there was a film called 'Open Water' which I thought suffered from exactly the same problem.I do like a decent effective horror movie,thought the Spanish film 'Rec' was great,it created a claustrophobic and unnerving experience throughout and even though you pretty much knew where it was heading it was still a hell of a ride.By the end of Paranormal Activity I was starting to feel for the demon for having picked such dull and annoying people to haunt !.If you guys want to buy it then keep an eye out for the US Blu Ray,it's out end of this month and it's being distributed by Paramount over there (who usually do not region code their discs).Movietyme & DVDWorldUSA are probably your best bets if you want it for Christmas.

It'd be pretty scary for a lot of people and certainly had some jumpy moments even if you're not scared by the whole thing.
I found it entertaining anyway, reminded me of the BBC Ghostwatch a little. Still think they should have kept with the original ending though.

Good morning all - yes, really frosty here too!
Makes a complete change from walking to work in a monsoon. I like frosty days :)
Just demolished a 5 pack of Tesco's custard doughnuts. Feel a bit sick now - but need to hide the evidence before the office arrive...and it's the first major drawback of being bearded...Roald Dahl was right in the book The Twits - I'll be eating the remains of the doughnuts for the rest of the day ;)

Morning all,
Saw loads of people taking the ice off their cars this morning. Probably the best thing about going by bus at the moment!
Youngest is ill but still has to go with my wife to take the eldest to school as I have to go to work. Not sure how we could get around that.

Freeeeezing today, still it's already Tuesday, and it's December. Pink sky this morning, so anyone going on a boat, watch it ;P
Penguins beat Rangers again last night, (my mate 'supports' rangers, so yeh, that's 3 victories for me this season :P)
