Paranormal Activity 3 Has Over Played It's Hand
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3
Directed by HENRY JOOST and ARIEL SCHULMAN
Starring CHLOE CSENGERY, JESSICA TYLER BROWN,
LAUREN BITTNER, and CHRISTOPHER NICHOLAS SMITH
Somehow I don't think the filmmakers intended for most of the audience to laugh their way through Paranormal Activity 3. Admittedly I was in a college theater with a primarily college-aged audience, so perhaps the audience laughed when they weren't supposed to? The more likely scenario is that the audience got it right.

The Thing Prequel Is An Utter Disappointment
THE THING
Directed by MATTHIJS VAN HEIJNINGEN
Starring MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD, JOEL EDGERTON,
and ULRICH THOMSEN
Before rushing to the theater to see The Thing, the alleged prequel to John Carpenter's classic 1982 film, you should know that The Thing (2011) is not really a prequel, it's a remake. Excluding the final few scenes, The Thing is a mediocre homage to Carpenter's film rather than an addition to the storyline. If you're a die-hard fan save it for the $1.50 theater. It's a mess, a hot mess. In order to remember the 1951 and 1982 versions with fondness, do yourself a favor, and skip it.
