[Movie] Sinister

[Bridge]

Honestly, I think Paranormal Activity gets a looooot more praise than it deserves, though I still think all around it's a good movie. If you want a movie that's good and is done in that format, check out Chronicle (though considering you seem to be a serious film buff I doubt you haven't either seen it or heard of it already). Still, I think totally disregarding a film just based on the format it's done in is kind of ignorant.

Yeah I saw it. I liked the first half because the performances were overall excellent and the plot was interesting. I wasn't happy with the second half or the resolution though mainly because the "main" protagonist was unlikable and boring. I really had no sympathy for him at all. But it was a memorable movie, I definitely agree the format worked very well in that case. I still don't fully agree with the idea; at best it's tolerable or not noticeable. I avoid being a cynical douchebag whenever I can so I don't completely hate on a movie for having bad cinematography, but it's such an important part of filmmaking, I find it depressing that people are ignoring its importance.

EDIT: I really lose a lot of respect for a movie if I can't remember or don't notice even a single interesting shot though. Which is why I really liked Immortals. Sure, the acting was bad and the plot was boring but man, did it have some gorgeous shots.
