huh? what?
by papoon for president

PA ends up being a thrown cat movie, like in those endless 50's movies, where nothing is happening so somebody from props throws a cat on screen. You may jump a bit but it is still only a thrown cat. PA has five thrown cat moments, the last one being the biggest. But except for the fact that this movie was filmed and produced on the cheap and doesn't fall totally apart, it is crap. SPOILERS follow. Get a priest, a wiccan, a voodoo practioner, that little woman from Poltergeist, get somebody! For all the noise that whiny a-hole makes about researching demons on the internet, didn't anyone suggest that? Ohh, that would ruin the fun. When the ghost expert takes off for the second time he promises help, what help? Evidently best wishes are in the mail. Or that would have required a fifth actor and they didn't have the money for that. Sweet jebus, doesn't the demon expert guy have voice mail, an e-mail account with Yahoo, something to tell them what to do. Naw this is 2006 and demon experts haven't twigged to the Intertubes yet And for all the stress they are under both our two lovelies look like they are getting they full requirements of sleep and regular meals. After 18 days of this stress at least stop shaving and look like demons are dragging you across the floor at night. Not to say there weren't some cheap laughs and some decent plot moments but after 86 minutes to without any buildup find that Miss Lovely is actually the demon and kills the whiner...watch out here comes the cat. MEOW, and the call is coming from inside the house, and the hook was found dangling from the door and any number of other cliched endings.

As you may have heard, the "thrown cat" ending (I like your term) was supposedly suggested by Steven Spielberg after he screened the film in '07. Alas, Spielberg has been off his game as of late (with all due respect, and acknowledging that he has more talent in his pinkie than I have in my entire body,yada, yada, yada).

The original ending was far superior, in my opinion--much less Hollywood. Maybe when the movie comes to DVD, both endings will be available. The original ending is worth a watch.

"Miss Lovely" was not the demon. She was finally possessed by it.

And I submit to you that possession is nine tenths of the law, as they say. But, lets look at this, how can she not be the demon when she was possessed by it? Demon Movies 101. And finding yet more angels or demons to dance on the head of this pin, can you say when she wasn't possessed by this demon? Woo....scarey stuff. Betcha she was already possessed when she was assuring Whiny Butt that everything was all right now. Naw, the movie still is crap, better crap than Blair Witch was but crap. I am real interested in what the real movie ending was before the professional got his wrench in the works? Anybody got a link?
