I went to see this on Thursday, September 10th, 2015, here in Vallejo, CA, at the CENTURY 14 VALLEJO, for the advance screening at 9:30 p.m. in auditorium 6, 3rd row ( counting from the front ), 7th column ( counting from the left ). The price of admission was $11.25. And I bought a medium Buttered Popcorn and a medium Powerade Mountain Berry Blast for $9.90 ( $2.00 Off Special with a movie watcher e-mail reward coupon ).
Quickie Review: Two kids finally get to visit with their life-long estranged grandparents. But things are not as they seem.
The audience liked this quirky Comedy Horror Movie. But none gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending.
I liked this movie, too. M. Night Shyamalan did a good job on this one, if you don't mind the few obvious gaps in logic. Go see this movie if you like Comedy Horror Movies because it will more than likely not disappoint you.

I've been busy for over a month now "Facebooking" on politics because election year is right around the corner. I'm normally apolitical, never even having bothered to register to vote. But in my 50+ odd years, I've observed a downward spiral in American politics and culture. And I am quite alarmed! Teens who are eligible to vote but are less than a third of my age have identified themselves with the radical and liberal party front-runners solely based on Facebook memes! Don't they know history at all? Well, of course, they don't! They haven't lived long enough to do so.
Yes, the whole country is tired of career politicians who will resort to anything to garner for themselves illegal votes! Yes, the whole country is tired of an emasculated Congress that lets anyone run roughshod on the US Constitution! Yes, the whole country is tired of politicians who renege on their campaign promises! Yes, the new generation of young voters want to carve for themselves a different political identity! But the career politicians that they want to represent their generation are all old enough to be their grandparents. And how is that supposed to represent their generation?
I've reminded them more than once on Facebook that Socialism doesn't work. It failed miserably as an experiment on Plymouth Rock, not once but twice! And it's now failing Venezuela and Greece. The United States will be headed down the same way if the Socialists/Communists have their final say on the matter.
Why would someone of sane mind romanticize the idea of a socialized welfare state wherein the few productive workers must work extra hard to support the lazy, irresponsible lowlifes who feel entitled to the hard-earned wealth of the few? Socialism will only drive businesses away and impose price hikes and limits on commodities as time goes on! And these teens, with their short attention spans, who take things for granted will just end-up being forced to impatiently stand in a mile-long line to buy one measly roll of toilet paper, to use Venezuela's recent predicament as an example, if their socialist movement comes to fruition!
Of all the present presidential campaigners, Donald Trump sticks out prominently with his politically uncouth manners and the fact that he's not a career politician. But are these two things good enough to qualify him to run the country as its president? A good president is someone who has a good cabinet to delegate tasks to. That is what it all simply boils down to. Donald Trump will use his business acumen to do just that. And, of all the campaigners, only Donald Trump was generous enough to give money to the needy everyday folks years before he even decided to run for president! The other campaigners never displayed such generosity. Therefore, Trump is someone who truly cares for the people and the country. And he is the one I would like to see in office who will work to make the US great once again and not renege on his campaign promises.
I had the opportunity to warn the public prior to the 2008 presidential election but I decided not to because I naively thought that people would vote using their minds; but people used their hearts, instead. The same thing happened in 2012! But, in 2012, I tried to warn people, only to have some lowlife shut down my internet connection with a virus!
I may just register to vote in the upcoming Primaries and in the Presidential Election. And I hope that my message will have gotten across this time around.
God Bless America!
