A truly independent film made on a minuscule budget, “Paranormal Activity” first created a buzz at Screamfest in Los Angeles, then languished for nearly two years until Paramount Pictures decided to pick up the project and slightly change the ending.

Rumor has it that Steven Spielberg enjoyed this movie and even helped shape its ultimate ending.

The main characters are few. Katie and Micah are a young couple having minor relationship struggles, but they are clearly in love and supportive of one another.

The couple relocates to a home in San Diego which they start to think could be haunted. As time passes, Katie explains her belief in the occult, and suggests that a poltergeist has shadowed her for many years. She even intimates that the ghost may have played a role in her sister’s demise.

This idea does not seem realistic to Micah, so he devises a plan to get to the bottom of the occurences. With the help of his video camera he begins to record the home at night.

Eventually, Micah captures some curious and inexplicable activity on video. At that point, he is persuaded of the presence of the poltergeist, which he succeeds in provoking further.

They decide it may be a good idea to enlist the help of a specialist. Unfortunately, the paranormal expert that came to the home said the ghost was to evil for him to help with.

As the movie continues Micah proceeds to aggravate the ghost in any way. Micah even decides to get a Ouija board to see if the ghost will begin to communicate with them. All of these activities lead to a dramatic ending.

It is very impressive that this simple, independent film could intrigue so many audience members. This shows that audiences are not only impressed by big movie budgets, but by the content of the movie itself.

Overall I found Paranormal Activity very entertaining and quite scary at times. This is definitely a film worth seeing if you’re in the mood to be scared.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief is finally on DVD. This movie really has a Harry Potter vibe to it, but that is probably related to the fact that director was also the director in the first Harry Potter movie. This movie was based off the book series by Rick Riordan, which could mean there may be future movies. This movie had a doable plot, enjoyable characters, and an adventure through history with a modern element. Don’t miss out on your copy today.

The plot is about the main character Percy who is a demigod and his best friend and his protector who happens to be a satyr. They journey with Athena’s daughter and they are looking for pearls that can teleport them anywhere since Percy’s mother was taken to Hades. So now you can watch this tape and find out if they get a chance to rescue his mother or not, and who Percy’s father really is.

The characters in the movie are ones that can be liked by adults and children. Percy appears to be the average guy, Athena’s daughter is a know-it-all with attitude, and the satyr is the type of fun loving, loyal friend that anyone could want. The three simply bond really well and you truly want them to succeed. And because of all the mythological creatures, children actually get a ancient Greek mythological lesson.

Although there are fun fight sequences in the movie in many ways its like a big history lesson. The movie talks about such creatures of myth like Medusa, Zeus, and Hades. Part of learning about the myths is finding out how demigods are born. But instead of traveling back in history, they find the answer in the United States.

If you are looking for a new series that is good for the children and the family don’t miss this one. This would be a 4 out of 5 for me. Good movie with a fun adventure, mixed with mythology.
