What’s really The Objective?

So I finally saw The Objective last night, and I gotta tell ya it didn’t leave me disappointed like many of the posts I’ve read online. It’s definitely a thinking man’s movie though. You’re not going to be spoon fed. Director Daniel Myrick sets up the story and lets the audience decide much like he did as the co-creator of The Blair Witch Project.

Ghost Hunters by Ed & Lorraine Warren with Robert David Chase

gh_review_v2

Not one to usually pull over for a yard sale, I spotted a sign on a stack of boxes and books reading, “cheap books,” and immediately swerved over for a closer look. After only a few seconds of digging I came across the hidden gem, Ghost Hunters: True Stories from the World’s Most Famous Demonologists (notice I give you the full title here, I couldn’t fit it in my blog title, sorry). I’d heard of this book being a fan of the Warrens but I think it’s been out of print for a while because I couldn’t ever find it, even Amazon. But for a quick five bucks now I owned my own hardcover copy. Yes, that’s right, hardcover folks!

The Shack by William P. Young

the shackI have to admit right up front, I would’ve never heard of this book if it wasn’t for my mother (and you thought she was only good for a hot meal. wrong!) and my interest in the afterlife. And now I know why, The Shack, is a self-published novel by author Paul Young, which hit the best-seller list, with 6 million copies printed since 2007. Don’t let that self-published scare you, it’s inspirational and reads like a fast paced thriller. What could be better?

The Shack is the fictional tale of a man named Mack who has to deal with a horrible family tragedy. Within a year Mack heads out to his mailbox to find an invitation from the one and only, yes you guessed it, the big man up stairs, God, to the shack where the tragedy occurred. But this is where it gets interesting, God isn’t exactly a man, or so it seems.

Review: Splinter

Splinter

It was an okay movie, and I did enjoy a couple of scenes. But would I watch it again? NO!

I had high expectations for Splinter, especially since it was an independent horror film, but I’m not going to use that as an excuse to give this film any credit. Camera work was good and steady and casting was okay. But in the end it was just another, “seen that, done that horror flick”.

Dangers of the Paranormal

Dangers of the Paranormal

Maybe I watched the Exorcist too many times or maybe it was the heavy dose of Sunday school I received as a kid, heck it could’ve even been those flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz, but part of me has always been a bit nervous delving too deeply into the paranormal realm, specifically investigations. And it seems like there are more and more cases of paranormal investigators bringing home unwanted guests.

Review: Darkness On the Edge of Town Paranormal Radio

darkness_on_the_edge_radio

For those of you who want more than the tv, books and websites check out “Darkness On the Edge of Town” Paranormal Radio. These guys are the nuts. I’ve listened to many paranormal radio shows over the years and found that quality tends to be lacking which sometimes makes listening pretty rough. But host, David Schrader and co-host Tim Dennis really have something special going. They’ve had a great mix of guests, including Lorraine Warren of Amityville fame, all the way over to ufologist Stanton Friedman.
