A Note For You #1

6 months ago I was pleading for you to stay.
But you didn't.
If you did, however, I wouldn't have found out that things eventually get better.
Some days I miss you and all the good talks we had. I still love you too but I guess I just don't like you anymore. It happens.
I'm sorry.

The Last Exorcism Part II: Quick Review

I am a sucker for paranormal and horror movies, so as soon as a new thriller comes out I have to see it, regardless of the reviews. However, it has been a while since I last experienced a paranormal movie that impressed me, so I hoped The Last Exorcism Part II would do the job.

I had recently watched The Last Exorcism and found that, although the plot was clever and interesting, it was very slow paced and not as great as I had expected. Putting this aside, I still had high hopes for The Last Exorcism Part 11.

This is a 'quick review', and it contains no spoilers, so if you haven't seen the movie yet and are planning to, feel free to continue reading.

I went to see The Last Exorcism Part II last night, and overall, I must say I enjoyed the movie. The cinematic experience made the movie more thrilling, and the parts that were make you jump actually did make you jump, though I don't know if that would be the case if I was watching in the comfort of a house. The plot again was good, and quite easy to follow without being too obvious and revealing itself, and was intriguing by presenting a few red herrings. The effects on the movie weren't over the top, which made the movie more realistic and believable.

Even with all these good points, I still found the movie...lacking. Yet again I found the movie rather slow paced, and the paranormal parts of the movie weren't quite paranormal enough for me. I was looking for something that would thrill me and scare me and keep me on the edge of my seat. The Last Exorcism Part II didn't do this for me. Although the first and the second movies weren't actually similar themselves with their  plot lines, I found the feelings I had about the movie were the same: I was rather disappointed. I liked the movie, but it wasn't as good as I was hoping.

Overall, I found the movie's plot good, but they could have portrayed the movie in a much better way. If you like the softer, less frightening paranormal movie, then this is the movie for you. However, if like me, you prefer the sort of movie that could keep you awake at night, you might find this movie unsatisfactory.

Defeater

Lets talk about the old days,
lets talk about your friends,
lets talk about the summer
and how you wish it wouldn't end.

Did I forget to tell you,
how pretty you looked in that dress?
In the first time I saw you,
you cleaned the mess from my head.

And I don't mind
if we take our time
no, I don't mind.

"How Will We Ever Get Out Of This Labyrinth of Suffering?"

 This is a quote from one of my favorite books, Looking For Alaska, written by John Green.

I think this is interesting, as at first you don't know what the labyrinth is, until you find out that it is one of suffering. There are many different types of suffering, from starvation to depression, and every single person is stuck in their own personal labyrinth.

Another quote is "You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking how you'll escape one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present".  Again this is thought provoking, as it triggers the though actions speak louder than words. If you want something, go do it. The only way you can make your life better, the only way you can try and find your way out of the labyrinth is to get yourself out.

Unfortunately, Alaska's way out of the labyrinth was "straight and fast".
