Is that the version with the Tales From the Black Freighter animated story edited in? I need that.

My friend saw a midnight showing of "Paranormal Activity" 2 days ago, and says he has not slept since. Very high on my must see list. There is also one with Milla Jovovich caled "The Fourth Kind" that looks uber-creepy as well...
In the bad column: Observe and Report. I picked this up as my monthly free view from Redbox. I still feel like I paid too much! Very lame and dissapointing movie. As if the entirety of the movie didn't suck enough, there is a five minute scene at the end where you are subjected to a fat man and his penis running in slo-mo. If you come across any copies of this movie: destroy them!
To counter Sculpt Bot, I LOVED Observe and Report. It was rude, offense, and awkwardly hilarious. It's by the team who does Eastbound and Down on HBO, so if you're familiar with that show, you know what to expect.
Went to see "Paranormal Activity" today since it finally opened in a theater closer to my house in NJ (last week the closest theater was in Chicago, lol!)
While it's not my all time favorite horror film, I liked it. It didn't really scare me, not much does anymore (at least movie-wise). But the people around me in the theater apparently were pretty scared by some of the things that were taking place, lol.
I thought it was pretty good. And apparently plenty of other people have too... it's made $33M so far. Not bad for a film that cost $15K to make. Yes, you read that right... $15K. Not $15 million, $15,000. Less than the average yearly salary. And it's taken in $33 MILLION thus far. Not a bad ROI methinks.
I second that recommendation for the HBO series 'Rome'. I bought the first season for my wife for Valentine's (she's odd like that), and we burned through it in a week and could not get the second season in from Netflix fast enough. Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus are like the ancient versions of Abbot and Costello. XD
When I saw Push, I was expecting something akin to Jumper, but it is much better and I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed this movie more than Wolverine, honestly. It is definitely worth a look.

We saw "Paranormal Activity" last night, and to be honest I was a bit underwhelmed. It reminded me of "The Entity" except shot through home movie footage. I'll go ahead and recommend it, but don't go in thinking it's the greatest horror movie ever or anything.
However, we saw the original version (the screener copy that can be downloaded through the usual sources) and it had a different ending than the one in theaters. The theater ending, I can see how that would "spook" people more, but I kinda liked the original ending better.
