The don't make them like they used to

Rating: 6/10 (30 July 2013)

I gave it a 6 for the acting; I thought Vera Farmiga and a couple of the kids stirred some emotion. Although the movie was supposedly based on a true story, I sort of doubt the accuracy, otherwise this would have been nationwide media material. Regardless, it's just a movie and if they would have had a better sense of fright, something that made you grip your chair and at least say "wow" every once in a great while, I may have added one more star. But let's just say for the sake of story telling, I left the theater once again disappointed. I think for the most part, I am satisfied once in 10 movies. The majority of them seem to be geared more toward individual glorification and computerized graphics. Sorry, but that's just who I am. My friends don't care a lot about that side of me, but I am pretty satisfied about my critical demeanor. After all, that one in ten makes me quite satisfied indeed and hopeful that there are still some good writers and directors out there. At this point in the movie industry, I have to say they are doing a pretty lousy job. As far as the money they make, well the viewers are also doing a lousy job in not being critical enough. I went to see The Conjuring based on the score on IMDb. Take it back to a 6 fellas!
