If your looking for a change of pace type movie, you should really check out Slam.
It's about 10 years old, and we had to watch it for my English course. It's about poetry, but a guy uses it as rap to change the pschye of many people in jail/the ghetto he's from. Legit movie, I stronly suggest you rent it.
Empire Records is such a throwback, for me. I totally forgot about that movie and it's rather surprisingly loaded cast. Even if it is completely angst.
Also, Whistler, I have seen Slam several times. Saul Williams is the man. Sadly, I thought the movie wasn't that great. Saul makes the whole movie.
Location: There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

Has anyone seen "Paranormal Activity"? Is it really as scary as people are saying?
I was curious about this as well....

Don't worry, I think I'm the only one on the entire site who has probably seen all Everybody Loves Raymond episode atleast 2-3 times....By choice, not force.
I have seen almost every King of Queens 2 or 3 times by choice.

I like King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond.
Oh and I was asking earlier about what movie I should take a female(girlfriend) to. I thought hey Where The Wild Things Are could be decent. She made the call on Paranormal Activity.
She is in my bed sleeping because of work at 7:30 tomorrow morning. I however REFUSE to shut the lights off or shut my eyes. Sleepless nights ahead. The movie is worth the hype mainly because it was such a small budget. Go see it.

Where the Wild Things are was beautiful yet unsatisfying. I was definitely not alright with the movie, and I had alot of qualms with it. That said, it had its moments, and the Wild Things themselves looked spectacular. I was underwhelmed, but pleasantly so. I had huge expectations, so that was my own fault.

I saw Paranormal Activity on Friday. I normally don't pay attention, go see, or even like horror films but PA had me intrigued so I gave it a shot. I liked the movie, thought it was pretty good and its whole documentary style shooting was believable and much better than Blair Witch.
That all said, it didnt come close to living up to the hype it had as far as being terrifying. It had its moments, but i thought it was more creepy than scary. After all the reviews about people crying in the theater and trembling on the floor, I was let down.

The Exorcist was kind of like that when it first came out. Reports of grown men crying and people leaving half-way through and stuff and it didn't really scare me all that much as well. It's still widely considered one of, if not the scariest movie ever. Maybe we're just hard asses?

When I was sitting LOTR 2, the Two Towers a guy in the front row jumped up and ran laps throughout the theater yelling "Yeeehahhhhh" when Gandolf showed up. Remember the whole scene with Gimli blowing the horn, and Aragorn riding out with King Theoden?
Yeah, I was emabarrassed how stoked I was just sitting there, and this guy is full on sprinting around. That being said, I believe everything written about people reacting to movies.
I just saw PA at 12. The movie is actually really funny in the first half, the boyfriend does a great job. I liked the way it was shot but didn't find it to be all that scary. Now that I'm laying in bed right now with the lights out I'm having second thoughts.
