Paranormal Activity (2007)
Paranormal activity? where?
This film is quite possibly the biggest pile of unmitigated arse gravy i have watched since day the earth stood still. NOTHING about this film was good, The characters where irritating and you generally have no feelings towards them aside from maybe... god i hope they die and get this piece of crap over with quickly. All through the film i was waiting for something interesting to happen 1 hour and 10 minutes in... i looked at how long the movie was. turns out there was only 13 minutes left... and still nothing scary or remotely interesting happens.
There are thumps and bumps... big deal. how is that scary? doors slam... oooh spooky! and a woman gets dragged out of bed. and all you can think is "there is some cameraman or sound man standing at the end of that hall flicking a light switch on and off"
Honestly i'm not sure how anyone found this scary it was just dull and i refuse to even rate it.
Avoid at ALL costs, stick your nuts in a vice and hit them with a hammer, it'd be more entertaining that watching this shite
Terminator Salvation (2009)
Not too shabby
I really enjoyed this film, not nearly as bad as people made it out to be, I was almost worried that it was gonna be as bad as Terminator 3. But it was really quite fun, I'm not gonna say it was great cuz there were a few things that were, for want of a better word, crappy about it.
Here thar be spoilers!!! First bit that confused me, In the first Terminator Kyle Reese states that they can only go outside at night, it's safest there. however in Salvation it is stated that you can't go out in the night cuz HK's have infa-red vision...
Also, the very badly, and I mean BADLY superimposed CG face of Arnie on the T-800 that appears late in the film, OK the body double they used was great but the face... really was very bad, probably would not have been so bad if they hadn't used close up shots.
A small detail that bothered me was in the first two films it was made to look like the whole ground was littered with skulls and twisted ruins of terminators and vehicles, however here it was just a vast desert landscape without much really to look at.
Ultimately though the film was quite good, I enjoyed it, and I would most definitely watch it again, true it tends to stray a bit from what the first two laid down as the general "rules" of the film. As a stand alone film it is really quite good, but as a part of the Terminator franchise it is a bit lacking. The acting in it in general is not too bad while there is a considerable amount of pointless and unnecessary dialogue and quite a lot of predictable sequences.

Miike Mpd Psycho
I got the entire of series 1 of this and i thought it was GREAT like a lot of Miike films it doesn't seem to make much sense until you see the end of it and also like other Miike films he has a weird habit of randomly blurring parts out. The story of MPD psycho does pan out quite considerably after the first DVD and does get very involved and interesting, i sat and watched the entire first series back to back and totally enjoyed it. Miike does tend to make films seem somewhat obscure in the way they are written and directed but thats what i find makes him so great, you spend ages trying to work out whats going on and then you're like "Oh of course it is!" and it just seems so obvious the same applies to MPD despite what other people have said i thought it was excellent
