PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4, R ( 1 hr & 35 min )

-

I went to see this today, Sunday, October 21st, 2012, here in Vallejo, CA, at the Century 14 Vallejo for the 11:30 a.m. ( Extra Dollar Off First Show Matinee ) show in auditorium 7, 5th row, 9th column.

Quickie Review:  A weird and creepy boy, Robbie ( Brady Allen ) moves into the neighborhood with his single mom. When his mom gets taken to the hospital one day, and with no known relatives to look after him for the time-being, Alex ( Kathryn Newton ) and her parents take Robbie in, not knowing that he has a "connection" with Alex's little brother. Soon, strange nighttime occurrences take place at Alex's home, captured live by computer cameras set-up throughout the house.

I guess some people in the audience liked it because one man gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending and said, "That was the best one."

I would have to disagree. I think the third one was scarier than this. I would only recommend this to those of you out there who are fans of the first three installments of this horror franchise.

I liked how the computer cameras were set-up to monitor the house. 'Remember what I said back in August about webcams on my HIT AND RUN blog?

And I liked the night-vision scenes with the motion-capture sensors.

There is a Bonus Scene after the Ending Credits which is shot inside of a Mexican ( ? ) store.

Here are what didn't make sense in this movie:  In a situation where a child is left behind without adult care or supervision, the authorities usually have Child Protective Services take care of the child. If only Alex and her parents reviewed the videos each day, they would have had a better idea of what they were dealing with. Otherwise, it wouldn't make any sense for Alex to agree to have the computer cameras set-up to monitor her house in the first place!

*******************************************************

After the movie, I went to the Best Buy electronics store across the street from the theatre to buy a top-up card for my "pay-as-you-go" Virgin Mobile cellphone. In a cordoned-off area of their parking lot, there was an old yellow school bus named, Bad to the Bone--with gigantic tires--giving "Kool Bus" rides to children and their parents in order to raise funds for Juvenile Diabetes. I would like to ride that bus someday.

After I topped-up my cellphone, I called Hector to let him know about what I saw in the night sky last night on my way home from my brother's house in Fairfield, CA.

While I was at the Starbucks coffee shop at 966 Admiral Callaghan Lane here in Vallejo blogging about this movie, two white ladies sat immediately to my right to try and figure out how to get someplace. Since they were obviously not from the area ( I asked ), I gave them my local map. And, later, I used my computer to find the place that they were looking for: La Strada Italian Restaurant in American Canyon, CA. I showed them the directions as well as the address and 'phone number of said place. They thanked me and called me an "Angel"--Hah! if only they knew what sort of kinky stuff goes through my mind each and everyday. Heh, heh, heh.

Anyway, I'm hoping that my "good deed" for the day will let me win the California Lottery BIG TIME!!! And soon, too. Hey, I just figured out that at my current rate of pay at work, it would take me close to 21 years to make a million dollars. So, if I win the lottery big time, I will be sure to take 20 years of vacation from work for each million that I win. It's wishful thinking on my part--for now! It only takes a dollar to win, as they say ....

I've kept you guys in suspense long enough. About that "thing" which I saw last night, I called and told my brother about it as soon as I pulled into my carport parking space; and, as soon as I entered my unit, I e-mailed my eldest sister in Michigan about it. And here's what I wrote to her:


>>>>  Xxx Xxx ( eldest sister ),

I went to ( my brother ) Xxxxx's house today, Saturday, October 20th,
2012, after work, for his infant son's baptismal celebration.

On my way home, on I-80, just about a mile away from the American
Canyon Exit, at 10:48 p.m., as I was doing my Zhunti Mantra while I was
driving, I saw out in the horizon a bright blue orb fall from the night sky
at a 30-degree angle from the perpendicular in front of my car. It was
approximately one-fourth to one-third the diameter of the Moon in size.
It was visible for only one second!

I fear that it is a repeat of the vision that I saw in December of
2004 just nine days before the Earthquake/Tsunami hit Asia. Of course,
back then, the orb that I saw falling from the sky was a combination
of red, orange, yellow and blue colors. So, I don't know what this
all-blue orb means. Only time will tell.

Anyway, just be careful when you and your family go about your affairs
during the next two weeks or so. Because I don't know whether the blue
orb falling from the night sky is a good omen or a bad omen.

What I do know about the blue color from my knowledge of Hinduism and
through my meditation practice is that it is the color associated with
the Hindu God, Shiva, the God of Destruction ( and, consequently,
Renewal ). I hope and pray that I am wrong because countless lives
will be in grave peril if I am right.

So, be careful, once again.

Xxxxxx ( Cine-Man )  <<<<

The blue orb fell in the same vicinity of the Pacific Ocean as the one which I saw in 2004. Please refer back to my blog on HEREAFTER which I posted on October 22nd, 2010--practically two years ago! I fear that Asia will experience another Cataclysmic Event within the next two weeks.

Before going to bed last night--rather, early this morning--I prayed to God to spare the lives of innocent little children and infants. But, who am I to go against God's Will? His ".. Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven" ( The Lord's Prayer ). If innocent lives must be lost, I asked Him to take care of their souls.

When I told Hector earlier today about my vision, I mentioned that the blue color is associated with the Hindu God, Shiva, The God of Destruction. He said that he doesn't believe in Shiva. And I told him that Shiva is to Hindus what The Holy Spirit is to Christians. And I further elaborated by saying that Brahma is God, the Father; Vishnu is God, the Son; and Shiva is God, The Holy Spirit.

Allow me to rephrase a famous quote from Shakespeare's play, ROMEO AND JULIET: A Holy Trinity by any other name would still be as Divine.

Please pray that I am wrong about my "End Times" vision. Thank you ....

favorite scenes:  I liked the Suffrage scene.

I liked the Wierdest Date scene.

I liked the Meditation Class scene.

And I liked the Food Fight scene.


audience reaction:  The audience really liked this. But I didn't hear a "Hands Clapper" at the end.

recommendation:  I liked this movie, too. It's really funny. I might go see it again. Go see this if you're into Comedy Movies.

spoiler alert!  Why did they pick a Chinese, Reggie Lee, to play the part of Mr. De La Cruz, the father of Malia ( Charice )? Don't they have Pilipino actors in Hollywood? Why didn't they call on my services as Cine-Man, supporting actor? Maybe it was because I'm too good-looking to play the father's part. Ha, ha, ha. Oops, never mind ... I just found out ( on Google Search ) that Reggie Lee is actually Reggie Valdez, a Pilipino-American. After word got out in the news why a Biology teacher was doing what he was doing, I'm sure that many communities would be more than happy to chip-in for donations. In his UFC debut, Scott should have seen that first punch coming "from a mile away." Those frontal kicks were slow and should have been easily deflected and/or caught. When the other fighter wrapped his legs around Scott's neck, he could have easily gotten out of it by simply wedging his hand and forearm in-between the feet and prying himself out of it to do a counter move and gain the advantage. When he had his opponent on the mat, Scott forgot to punch him in the Liver and in the Spleen even though Niko ( Bas Rutten ) trained him earlier to do just that. Those kicks to the side of the head could have easily been blocked or dodged and countered.

fyi:  'Ever notice how someone who speaks with a British accent loses it when he/she sings a song?

Well, that's exactly what I had to do to get rid of my Pilipino accent: I learned to sing a lot of American songs. I lost my thick accent in the process But I Still Am As Bad As WILLIAM HUNG When I Sing!!! My singing voice is probably just a quarter of an octave in range--if at all! LOL

Bas Rutten plays a very amicable character which almost stole the show from Kevin James's character--who would have thought ....

This bunch of new citizens in the movie are better than the real-life bunch that I was sworn-in with back on July 11th, 2001 ( exactly two months before 9-11 ), in Sacramento, California. I wore a suit and another guy wore a three-piece suit--but the rest showed-up in jeans, shorts, t-shirts, sandals, hats, shades, etc. Unbelievable!!! Had I been the Governor, I would have sent them all home to dress up appropriately for their swearing-in ceremony. We, each, got a letter telling us all to dress-up formally for the special occasion! But, I guess, some people out there just don't give a damn ....

word of advice: Make your dreams come true.

tidbits:  I was asked to work 'til 2:00 p.m. today because somebody called-in sick in my department--and I already had planned on going to my friend Hector's place in Oakland, CA, after I got off from work, to watch the Donaire vs. Nishioka fight on TV in the evening. Since commute traffic headed for Oakland wouldn't be as bad because today is a Saturday, I decided to pick up on the extra hours.


I bought a harness for Sylvester, the kitten, but he will just have to grow into it because it's too big for him right now.

And Hector asked, "Didn't you buy him a leash, too?" I answered, He's too small even for the harness that I got for him. The leash can wait until he's all grown-up.

As Hector and I sat down for some Coffee and French Bread, we got to talking about yesterday's news, the one about human bone fragments recovered from a well which could possibly be those of a kidnapped 9-year old girl from around 24 years ago. Actually, the bone fragments were from 3 or 4 different individuals whose bodies were dumped into the well by a pair of "Speed Freak" ( methamphetamine addict ) killers.

Hector commented, "How could people do such things to innocent people? I remember back in Vietnam when, sometimes, we were given orders not to take any prisoners alive. And those men had families; they were fathers, husbands, brothers and sons."

I said that I want to write an Anti-War novel someday. And I brought-up an interesting bit of Trivia: The Japanese pilot who led The Attack On Pearl Harbor has a daughter who ended-up marrying a US Marine Sargeant! Then I added, That would make for some very interesting family get-togethers.

What is the point of going to war when after it is all over both sides become friends and even intermarry? Why waste precious lives and resources in the first place? Yeah, "Make Love, Not War."

To change the subject, I talked about ARGO. The movie that deals with the American hostages after Ayatollah Khomeini took over as the ruler of Iran. Hector asked me who the dead ruler was whose coffin the pallbearers lost hold of during the funeral procession. I said that it was Ayatollah Khomeini. And Hector said that they probably executed the clumsy guy responsible for it!

Hector had already cooked a pot of Beef Stew for dinner. But it wasn't enough since I showed-up unexpectedly and because his daughter, Ana, and her husband, Glen, and their daughter, Dalila, were coming over for dinner. Luckily, I brought three cans of Beef Stew with me.

I wanted to make some Spaghetti, but they got fed-up with me always making Spaghetti every time I showed up for a visit. I'll do a Hamburger Helper dinner next time. We'll see how they'll like that! Ha, ha, ha.

After dinner, I checked my right wrist to see if I was retaining water because I suspected that I took-in an excess of Sodium from the food that I just ate. I used my left thumb and my left middle finger to grab at my right wrist to see how far up my forearm I could keep my thumb and finger touching at the tips. Sure enough, I was retaining water because I couldn't even make my fingers touch at the tips around my right wrist. We're talking a raise in Blood Pressure here, folks.

I'd better let Hector and his kids know how to check for water retention because they have High Blood Pressure since they use too much salt.

I sat in the living room to finish my blog on ARGO while Hector and his family gathered around me to watch WATER FOR ELEPHANTS on TV. Isma, Hector's son, assured me that even though I temporarily have Dial-Up Service, I could still use Wi-Fi without any problem because they are two different non-conflicting Internet connections.

Hector's two sons, Isma and Tito, and I watched a televised fight after Hector and his wife, Elsa, left for Pleasanton, CA, to spend the night with Ana and her family. The Donair vs. Nishioka boxing match was not that exciting to watch because Nishioka was too cautious and got the crowd booing against him.

At one point, in Nishioka's corner, somebody asked him, "Do you speak Spanish?" Huh ... WTF?!?!?! Nishioka couldn't even speak English, let alone understand what the dumb idiot was asking him!

When I got home later on in the evening, I tried to start my blog on this movie but couldn't because I couldn't get any Dial-Up numbers to get me connected to the Internet. What kind of computer expert is Isma if he doesn't know what the heck he is talking about, I asked myself.

Over a day later, I found out that the reason why any of the Dial-Up numbers didn't work was BECAUSE I FORGOT TO PLUG-IN THE 'PHONE LINE TO MY LAPTOP---Oops, my bad .... Ha, ha, ha.

ARGO, R ( 2 hr & 0 min )

-

I went to see this today, Friday, October 12th, 2012, here in Vallejo, CA, at the Century 14 Vallejo, for the 4:55 p.m. show in auditorium 8, 5th row, 8th column.

Quickie Review: On November 4th, 1979, the US Embassy in Iran is stormed by Iranian revolutionaries and demonstrators. In the ensuing commotion, six Americans manage an escape and hide-out at the Canadian Ambassador's residence. When the Iranian Revolutionary Guards learn of the missing Americans, they do a door-to-door search for them. It is up to Tony Mendez ( Ben Affleck ), a CIA Technical Operations Officer, to extract the helpless Americans before it is too late.

The audience really liked this movie. Some people clapped their hands when the airplane finally took-off. And a bunch of people gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending.

I liked this Suspense/Thriller Movie, also. And I almost clapped my hands when the airplane took-off, too! But I had to maintain an "objective" composure to gauge the audience reaction. I was honestly caught-up in all of the suspense ( I actually jolted in my seat when a guard shot a man to death ) unfolding before my very eyes as I watched this "based on a true story" movie . If you are into Suspense/Thriller movies, you will DEFINITELY like this movie! So, what are you waiting for? Go see this movie!

This movie is a serious Oscar contender!

Stay for the Ending Credits to see photos of the actual US Embassy workers portrayed in this movie. The casting agent did a good job of finding look-alikes for the roles. Except for one: Ben Affleck is too handsome to play the part of Tony Mendez. And there is also a "voice-over" of former President Jimmy Carter talking about this secret CIA/Hollywood joint operation.

*************************************

Yesterday, a Thursday, I came this close >-< to buying a new computer. Then, I realized that I needed that saved-up money more for my two ( 2 ) property taxes and for a new set of tires for my car more than I needed it for a new computer. So, I decided to act on a hunch that has been nagging at me for almost a month now.

I reasoned that in order for the Reveton Ransomware Virus that infected my computer in August to work, it would have to corrupt my McAfee Internet Security and my System Mechanic registry optimizer. I decided to delete both of them. And since I already deleted my ISP DSL connection two weeks ago, I had to use a Juno Dial-Up service to check if my hunch was right.

I installed the dial-up service at 5:00 a.m.

Sure enough, I was able to get on the Internet through Dial-Up! My hunch was right. I was able to fix my computer and I was able to save myself some serious Moolah in the process.

Today, after work, I went to the Chase Bank in the Target Shopping Center on Admiral Callaghan Lane to deposit some money into my checking account. And since I still had enough time to spare before this movie started, I went to the Best Buy electronics store, two blocks up the road, to shop for another internet security system and for another registry optimizer. But Best Buy didn't have what I was looking for. I would have to go to the Wal-Marts Super Center in American Canyon to check on their selections.

After the movie, I went to the Wal-Marts Super Center to see if they have what I wanted to get for my computer. Here's the thing: Because of the viral infection on my computer, I had to get rid of my ISP ( PeoplePC ), my McAfee Internet Security and my System Mechanic just to be on the safe side. I was gonna get a Kaspersky AntiVirus but my Juno Dial-Up comes with a Norton AntiVirus and I already have a Malwarbytes Anti-Malware installed in my computer. So, I just went and bought a Defender Pro PC Medic registry optimizer, instead.

I installed the Defender Pro PC Medic registry optimizer as soon as I got home. And my laptop computer started working like new once again. By the way, I like Defender Pro PC Medic better than I liked my System Mechanic. Defender Pro is easier to use and faster--and better!

And I was gonna blog about this movie. But I couldn't get to my blogsite's "New Post" page. I practically waited for approximately two ( 2 ) hours just to see if my dial-up service would get me there; it never did. Dial-Up is of practically no use in today's Internet. So, at 9:45 p.m., I had to upgrade to DSL!

I will get my wireless router sometime next week, hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday.

FRANKENWEENIE in 3-D, PG ( 1 hr & 27 min )

-

where:  CENTURY 14 VALLEJO in Vallejo, CA
when:  Sunday, October 7th, 2012
show:  12:15 p.m. ( Extra Dollar Off First Show Matinee )
costs: $10.00 3-D Ticket + $4.50 20.0 oz VitaminWater Revive + $1.08 bulk Chocolate-covered Peanuts = $15.58
auditorium:  1, with a 3-D screen
seat:  6th row, 7th column

synopsis/overview: All Victor wants is for his dog, Sparky, to be back with him again, even if it meant bringing him back from the dead. When his science experiment becomes a success, the other kids in his science class decide to imitate him, unprepared for the disastrous outcome.

noteworthy scenes:  1.) Home movie; 2.) Grumpy neighbor; 3.) Spooky class; 4.) Dream; 5.) Baseball game; 6.) Frog; 7.) Pet cemetery; 8.) The attic; 9.) Waffle iron; 10.) Water; 11.) Fly; 12.) Cat; 13.) Fat woman; 14.) Baby pacifier; 15.) "Your friend is here"; 16.) Show and Tell; 17.) Dead fish; 18.) "Double top secret"; 19.) "Maybe they don't last"; 20.) Rooftop experiment; 21.) Town meeting; 22.) "You changed the variables"; 23.) "Tonight, we shall bring the dead to life"; 24.) Secret; 25.) His parents' discovery; 26.) Dutch Day; 27.) Fire Chief; 28.) Experiments all gone awry; 29.) Salt; 30.) Mob; 31.) Windmill; and 32.) Jumper cables.

audience reaction: The audience liked it. But it didn't get a "Hands Clapper" ending.

recommendation: It was okay. But it has scenes that were a little too much for a couple of brats in the audience. Leave your infants and bratty toddlers at home if you want to go see this movie, in polite consideration of the other people in the audience who will be sharing the movie-watching experience with you.

spoiler alert!  A cat's eyes are essentially fixed in their sockets. The only way a cat can visually track a moving object is by moving its head. If a gravesite is tampered with, the groundskeeper would more than likely notify the people who own the plot. The parents should have noticed the door open because outside noise would become more audible and there would be a change in room temperature. Rain didn't fall into the attic when he opened the roof window. The stitches suggest that he took his dog apart, limb from limb, but why ...? If flies hovered above Sparky, it only meant that his body was putrefying; so, people should have been able to smell him. Shouldn't they have used electric transformers? Who covered-up the grave?

fyi: This movie has pop culture references that are quite obvious to fans of the Horror/Monster genre. I would just like to rattle-off a few: Vincent Price, Gremlins, Godzilla Vs. Bambi, Bride Of Frankenstein, Gamera, etc.

I liked the bicycle and the cars that they used in this movie.

I felt sorry for the cat--hey! what can I say ... I'm a cat person.

word of advice: Consider first the consequences of your intended action.

Don't let Envy and Greed cloud your Judgment.

tidbits:  Early in the day, I went to a store to look at their computer selection. I found a good one that I liked, a laptop, for only $368.oo. I'll probably buy it in the next few days.

Throughout the movie, some spoiled-brat toddler kept crying every now and then. And his mother just "Shushed" him each time. What good would shushing do to a bratty toddler who's too young to know what kind of behavior is expected of him/her in public? Why can't irresponsible and inconsiderate parents just leave their infants and bratty toddlers at home in somebody else's care while they go to the movies? Oh, I know the answer: Because They Are Irresponsible And Inconsiderate!!!

OMG--OH MY GOD! NR ( 2 hr & 15 min )

-


I went to see this on Saturday, October 6th, 2012, in Emeryville, CA, at the UA Emery Bay Stadium 10, for the 9:45 p.m. show in auditorium 1, 4th row, 7th column.

Quickie Review: Kanjibhai ( Paresh Rawal ), an antiques shop owner, questions the reality of God and addresses the absurdity of Religion after he falls on hard times. Until Lord Shiva ( Akshay Kumar ) shows him the error of his ways.

The audience liked this movie. And some of them gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending.

I liked this movie, too, as it reinforces some of my long-held spiritual beliefs. Go see this movie if you're spiritually-inclined.

This movie has a missing piece of information: It gave a Chapter and Verse quotation from the Holy Bible yet failed to mention what Book it came from.

Milk is toxic to the ecosystem of rivers, lakes and estuaries. Too much milk that gets dumped into such bodies of water increases the growth of algae and suchlike which use up the oxygen that the fish and shellfish need to survive.

****************************************

After I got off from work today, I went to Hector's place in Oakland, CA, to sit-in on his 1:00 p.m. Bible Study Class. The topic was the Book of Daniel, Chapters 10 - 12, which tie-in with End Times Prophecy. Anyway, it was an informative discussion that the class had on the subject.

It was also a potluck day, so everyone who showed up ( myself included ) brought food to share with everyone else. And we had a hearty meal.

Then, we watched the Oakland A's and the San Francisco Giants on TV play baseball.

Later, Hector's son, Isma, went with his cousin to watch a football game at the UC Berkeley campus.

And poor Sylvester, the kitten, got smacked by Hector for climbing up on the new drapes. Sylvester hid himself until Isma came back home later on in the night, well after I had already left for the evening. ( I talked to Hector the following day, Sunday, when he mentioned Sylvester finally coming out of hiding. )

****************************************

Years before I became initiated into Kriya Yoga ( Yogoda Satsanga Society branch of SRF/YSS ), I had a vision in which I encountered Lord Shiva, Himself, in a human incarnation.

In my vision, as I laid in bed waiting to fall asleep, I saw myself, on a sunny day, walking on a dirt path when a dark-brown skinned and long dark-haired athletic-looking handsome young man in a leather loin cloth ( think of Tarzan ), appeared out of nowhere and walked into my path from the right. He turned and walked in front of me. I followed him, all the while I felt a sense of "destruction". But I didn't know what kind of "destruction" it was, whether I should destroy him like I destroyed some ghosts using a specific technique that I learned from a Canadian psychic or whether he was going to destroy me. And if I were to destroy him, I would have preferred that he faced me. Since I wasn't clear on the matter, I just quietly followed him instead.

He stopped at the edge of a bank of a river, a lake or a big pond. I don't know which one it was; all I know was that the water was very still and it was muddy-brown in color. All of a sudden, he dived into the water--in slow motion--and disappeared underneath the muddy water.

I stood there at the bank contemplating whether I should dive in or not. But before I could make up my mind, he appeared on the surface of the water sideways ( on his left side ) and covered in all kinds of poisonous snakes! He rolled on the water surface in slow motion without a care in the world as the snakes slithered all over his body.

I decided not to dive into the water because some time ago before I had this particular vision, on December 23rd, 2003, to be exact, I was attacked by a spirit entity disguised as a small black snake after I was done meditating for the night. It struck at my left ankle and lower leg three times; and its strikes were so painful that had I not been instantly and completely paralyzed by its first strike I would have screamed and writhed in deep agony!

But another spirit entity, disguised as my beloved deceased orange tabby Manx cat killed it with a single strike of its right front paw to the snake's head. I say it was a spirit entity because no ghost can stand a chance against any spirit.

( Cine-Man's note: According to the Ancient Egyptians who built the Great Pyramid, the year 2003 A.D. was the year when the Evil Celestial Serpent would be visible in the night sky to anyone inside of the pyramid looking out through its built-in porthole. )

As I stood at the bank trying to decide what to do next, the man slowly disappeared once again under the muddy water. Presently, a huge reptilian head emerged from the muddy water; the head was the size of my Geo Metro car! Since it was just a few yards away, it was clearly within striking distance of me. I couldn't escape from it even if I wanted to! And through my years of encounters with other-worldly entities, one thing that I learned the hard way is to never run away from any evil entity, that it is always best to hold my ground.

So, I stood there waiting for it to make its move. Then, it puffed its cheeks at me. And I said to myself, Wait a minute! Crocodiles can't do that because of their skull anatomy; only snakes can do that.

Then, the vision ended.

Years later, when I read Sri Yogananda's book, Autobiography Of A Yogi, that was when I realized that I had a spiritual encounter with the Destroyer God, Lord Shiva, and the River God, Naga.

Now, before you Christians, Jews and Muslims out there start thinking that I had an evil encounter, consider these: In the Old Testament, God represented Himself as a serpent; in the New Testament, Jesus Christ symbolically represented a serpent! Read the Bible and see them for yourselves.
