Watched Paranormal Activity 4, got it from Netflix. It wasn't any better or worse than the first 3, just more of the same. The problem with this franchise is that, after the first movie, they where too predictable. All 4 contain the same general stuff, and they all pretty much end the same way. I also think they should have gone a different direction than the old "evil demon" thing. Early on in PA 1, they start in on the whole "It's a demon!" line, at which point it becomes too predictable. I would have kept the nature of the entity a secret, made it really weird and unpredictable. I'd have it do some really bizarre, freaky, unexpected stuff. Because in my opinion, the unknown is a lot scarier than the known.
And why was "Toby" so small in this one? I always got the impression that this demon was quite tall, but in PA 4, he appeared to be like child sized. Maybe demons shrink with age the way people do? I don't know, but I do hope we've seen the last of the PA sequels. They're cheap and easy to make, but enough is enough.
I did go see "The Croods" at the discount theater the other day though, and it was quite good! I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised by the movie. It was cute, funny, and had some interesting fantastical flora and fauna. It was the sort of movie both kids and adults can enjoy.
Trader Joes has the most delicious mango lemonade! I tried a sample today and loved it so much I ended up grabbing a bottle of the stuff. When you take a sip, you get this really nice sweet mango flavor that is followed by a pleasant lemony taste at the end. It's just a yummy, refreshing, unique lemonade.
