Paranormal Disappointment 4

Seeing this movie without seeing the previous installments in the series was probably not a good idea in the first place, but luckily I saw it with some friends that filled me in on what was going on because I would have had no clue what was going on during the movie! From what my friends told me, it just sounded like Paranormal Activity 4 was more of the same, except this time the movie was moving into the future with a bunch of new gadgets being used this time around. There seems to be a lot of product placement in the movie since there is a Kinect and a Macbook being featured in the movie. There are also some iPhones featured throughout too! I thought all of this stuff was cool, especially the use of the Kinect as a video device that showed all of the green tracking dots throughout the living room. This stuff got old though as they continuously used them over and over again.

The movie is primarily only good for cheap scares, except I wouldn't even call them scares. I may have been startled a couple of times due to sudden noises or movements but that was pretty much it. The movie is more focused on jump scares than actual creepiness and that is clearly evident! I went into the movie thinking I may be scared a little bit, but instead I just made fun of it the whole time. People were saying that the last 10 minutes were the scariest part, but for me, it was not even that bad. It was just a bunch of running, noises, and weird devilish women...and then we don't even get an explanation or a clue to who they are! For me, the best scene was the garage scene because it was the most interesting part of the movie. That was the only point where I was wondering what was going to happen next...because the rest of the movie was also extremely predictable.

Maybe that is why I wasn't scared so much. I was pretty much spot on with my guesses throughout the whole movie. There's a boy in a bubble bath...what's going to happen next?? Oh I don't know....maybe he drowns? Or a knife disappears into the ceiling...what's going to happen next? Let's see...does it come back and almost spear someone? Like I said before, they make it way to easy!

If you are one for jump scares and quick thrills, then this may be a movie for you. Otherwise, it seems that the other movies in the series were much better than this one...or at least a little more scarier than 4. If you are looking for a genuinely scary movie to see this Halloween in theatres how about you go see a movie like Sinister or the re-showing of Halloween.

Is this Paper Wario?

Nintendo has already given Mario the paper treatment by releasing their slew of RPG's in the Paper Mario series. What if Nintendo gave the Warioware series the paper treatment? What would the game be like? Well, we don't know for sure but the iOS game Albert can give us a glimpse of what a Paper Warioware game would be like. I say this because Albert is a collection of mini games with a paper cut-out art style to go along with it! Don't let the game's graphical style fool you into thinking this is a kid's game. The mini games that they present you with can give you a challenge if you want to gain three stars.

You are basically following Albert around during his normal day. You oversee and help him do various activities that he does everyday like waking up, eating breakfast, going to school, chores, and much more. The game play is very broad and you will be doing a variety of activities that require full use of the iPad's features. You will be tilting and moving around the iPad in various directions to help you find different treasures that are scattered around in the mini games. There is one treasure in each mini game that you will go through and the game makes you work hard to find them!

The game is overall pretty fun and probably worth a look. You can get the free version or you can pay a little more to get the full version. The full version just unlocks all of the levels giving you more game play. I don't know that it is worth the money but if you are in to mini game collections, then go for it. You probably won't be disappointed with this fun little title!
