video review : Paranormal Activity : The Ghost Dimension

This is Paranormal Activity 6, but it seems to ignore the plot of part 5, so you can watch it after 4 and not miss a beat. The year is 2013; these movies are never present day; and the Katie/Kristi sisters are back via old VHS footage, but it’s all in vain.

The Ghost Dimension, which opens to the daughter of a new family, starts decently and gets worse as it goes on. By the end, it’s a mess of bad acting and silly visual effects, the latter of which includes a hole in a wall that looks like a huge gaping anus.

audio review : Long Live Love ( album ) … Kirk Franklin

audio review : Long Live Love ( album ) ... Kirk Franklin

He’s not referring to the cliché “love” most singers sing about. It’s even worse. Kirk Franklin is a diehard Christian, so when he speaks of Love, it has to do with his purported God; the all-loving Jesus.

“I don’t wanna love nobody but you,” the congregation, whose album this really is, declares during an early refrain; one of the better bits of an album that can’t seem to rise above mere decency.

Just For Me could reach glory if the chorus matched the rest of its aesthetic. OK is okay. Spiritual is too, though it gets a lot better as it conjures a fun jazz horn session during its final third.
