Drag me to hell:

Hello Fellow curious fans of the paranormal!

I considered posting this movie in the thread of "Demons" but this is a fiction movie, not based on a true story or events that have happened. It does, however address curses that some people believe in. If you like scary, then you might like this movie.



It is scheduled to be released here locally on May 29th.

It is a story of an elderly woman, played by Loma Raver who comes to the bank and asks for a third extension on her delinquent mortgage. The loan officer played by Alison Lohman decides this time to prove herself as not being a "softy" and denies her request. The elderly woman, a Slavic, decides to put a curse on the loan officer, Lohman. Demons terrorizes her and she fights to save her soul from damnation.

Here is a trailer for the movie:

Happy scare time to all of you who dare see this movie.

Knowing:

To the fellowship of Entertainment!



I really liked this movie! It will satisfy the Sci-fi fan the UFO fan. The special effects were great! To be honest I was expecting a little different story line, along the line of "National Treasure" in which Nicolas Gage stared. This turned out to be a movie about aliens saving certain people from a disaster which will destroy planet Earth! My kind of movie!

Nicolas Cage stars in this story about a document he finds that predicts events of disaster with incredible accuracy. It is coded on a piece of paper that was found in a time capsule from 50 years earlier. Nicolas Cage plays the leading role as a professor who decodes the document and tries to prevent the disasters from happening or at least prepare the potential victims to avoid death. Then there is the "ultimate" disaster which he himself needs to avoid.

Here is a trailer of the movie:

I definitely recommend that you see this on the big screen for the special effects! It is rated PG13

The Haunting in Connecticut:

Hello fellow curious fans of strange phenomena!



Unfortunately I have been part of an Exorcism so no one has to sell me on the fact that there is negative energy out there. Sometimes we have to  battle it so the good prevails.

As to haunting or Poltergeists; I have only heard about them. There are a few TV shows about Poltergeists and hauntings.

At least this movie did not overly dramatize true events which are the basis for the movie, such as the original demon movie we have all heard about or saw, "Exorcist". I had some knowledge of these events which report that the Snedeker family moved into a house which they later learned was once a funeral home, Mortuary. What caused the family to discredit encounters originally by their son was that their son had cancer and the treatment he was undergoing was experimental and that caused the "hallucinations".

The movie reveals that the cancer disappeared after they vacated the house but not until the son "freed" the tortured soul who was about the same age as the son; and all the other souls trapped in the house  from the years of evil when it was a funeral home. I guess it suggests that it was fate that the son would have the cancer and come to stay at the house to do what he had to do.

I have to give some credit to the story in that it has been know that people having cancer can have much sensitivity to the spirit world. The movie has its own explanation as to that phenomenon.

Here is a trailer for the film:

MOVIES ON THE PARANORMAL AND XTRAORDINARY THINGS March 13, 2009 9:14 PM

1408:

To the fellow curious members here:



This movie came out in 2007 and I did see when it at the theater but what prompted me to review it here was seeing it again on Showtime on TV. It is based on a Stephen short story.

This is a movie about an author who write books on the paranormal. He visits sites reported to be haunted and then writes about them. John Cusack  plays the role of the author. Samuel L. Jackson also plays in this movie but relatively a small part as the Hotel manager where room 1408 is haunted. John Cusack as his own devils he battles with the death of his daughter. The daughter is the underlining story.

Cusack learns about this haunted room and decides to visit it. He himself is s skeptic and really does not believe in ghosts. This room, however, is nothing that he has experienced before.

The entire movie is pretty much in the room. Yet, it seems to keep you on edge for most of the movie. Especially if you are in to this kinds of experiences. Cusack, as usual does a great job acting. Here is a trailer:

Because it was a good adaptation of the book and interesting concept I do recommend renting the DVD!
