About the blog:

Well, hello! Thanks for stopping by to read my opinions about movies that I see. Some are older and most are new. Some I go to see in the theaters (both live performances and movies) and some I watch from the comfort of my own couch and even more, I will watch from the amazing Netflix app. Of course, these will be my personal thoughts about the targeted item, however, it will give you an idea of whether it's a colossal waste of time or worth a shot!

STORYLINE
The skeptical psychologist Dr. Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) and her assistant Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy), are specialists in disclosing fraudulent paranormal phenomena. When the famous psychic Simon Silver (Robert De Niro) reappears to his public after many years of absence, Tom becomes singularly obsessed in determining whether Silver is a fraud or not.

MY REVIEW:
This was yet another good call by a friend at work. This was a thriller with some weird supernatural twinges, but is at least smart enough to build some sensibility in character development and let the scenes ruminate before letting some of the weird creepy stuff into the deal. Subtle references to some classic horror pieces such as the Omen and such. The casting was awesome. Sigourney Weaver and Cillian Murphy play paranormal debunkers looking into Robert DeNiro's character.

Suspenseful, interesting, and full of twisty-plot goodness!
