Blogging some of my past movie reviews from Facebook.  —–

Sigh. It’s true what they’re saying about “Paranormal Activity 4” (2012). It’s just no good.

It’s a lackluster story devoid of any pacing or tension. I’d give it a 2 out of 10 for one or two scary moments, but that’s it. And I loved the first trilogy. Also, if we simply film Katie Featherston standing still or walking slowly, that’s not scary. It’s adorable, but not scary.

Questions: 1) Why on earth would the family leave their “Wii Kinect” on all the time?

2) Wouldn’t even teenagers see the moral quandary of filming the entire family without their knowledge? What if their parents had sex in the living room or something?

3) What the hell is the bad guys’ master plan? It’s been four feature films already, and I just don’t see them accomplishing much. Seriously, endgame, please.

4) What’s the deal with a boyfriend violently yanking his girlfriend off her bed by her feet? That’s … funny to a teenager?

5) If a ghost is invisible, that means it doesn’t reflect light … except from a Wii Kinect?

6) Is it “Kinect” or “Connect?” Do I think too much about these things?
