Paranormal Activity 3...4/10

quite a disappointing film imo. Was'nt expecting much better tbh, with it being a 2nd sequel. The " jumpy" scenes were a bit too obvious coming, and the ending was'nt really in line with the film. Hope they don't make another, tries too hard to be a " Poltergeist" and fails on just about every level. Save your money and wait for the dvd if you must.

Tomorrow... Contagion.

Watched Wrong Turn 4 last night, if you can get past the p[oor acting its a pretty good bloody film. If you like the 1st 3 id recommend it.

I watched The Fall last night. Basic story - an American stuntman in the 1920s makes friends with a little immigrant girl in a hospital after being paralysed from the waist down when a stunt for a film goes wrong. He starts to tell her this story which we see played out through the girl's imagination.

Visually, it was stunning (I think it was shot in about 20+ countries around the world or something like that) and it was rare in that it featured a child performance that was cute and charming rather than massively annoying. Also, considering the premise for the film seems like a typical kids' film, it was anything but that with a fair bit of violence - think it was actually given a 15 certificate.

Did anyone see Mesrine Killer instinct on FX. ( second part this weekend) Mesrine started as a young soldier in Algeria and basically ended up in a torture unit. Leaves the army and joins up with some gangsters in paris in the late 50s early 60s.

Absolute psycho happy to rob or knock anyone off.

Goes to Quebec and joins the liberation front, robs and murders a lot of people escapes from prison. Then goes back to break out the other prisoners and offs five guards then heads back to France.
A true story about a french gangster who makes the Krays etc look like schoolboys.


Vincent Cassel plays Mesrine has to be one of the best actors around.

Superb if you missed it try and catch up with it some time

If you like that try Carlos the five hour version. Along the same lines although not as flash/heroic if you can call Mesrine heroic lol.
