Paul Soames (John Cusack) does not think that his coming to Shanghai this time would make it so involved in the affairs which were outside its reach. Paul just wanted to see his old friend who was in town that is now occupied by the Japanese government. Unfortunately Paul was too late. The friend he was looking for turned out to have died without any clear cause.

Paul was determined to uncover the mystery of the death of her best friend this. With her background as a spy, this investigation is not too difficult. The problem, it turns out these investigations even took him on a secret plan that is being done Japan.

There are allegations that the Japanese government plans to drop the Pearl Harbor and Paul have to look for evidence to confirm this allegation. At the same time, Paul Soames became involved in an affair with a local woman when Paul did not have much time left. Investigations will determine the fate of the world.

This film was originally titled SHANGHAI be filmed in China but at the last moment, the Chinese government decided to ban Mikael Håfström and his team go into this Bamboo Curtain country. Mikael should be forced to switch the set into Thailand. Although it must move to Thailand but Mikael apparently still capable of making this place look like Shanghai in the 1940s.

Indeed there is some awkwardness of this movie like Chow Yun-Fat who spoke English well and liked jazz music. Irrespective of the gaffe that, SHANGHAI quite enjoyable. Although referred to as the movie plays but in fact quite a lot of game action in a film released by The Weinstein Company this.

John Cusack might not be too convincing as a secret agent acting globally, but Cusack is still pretty good. Chow Yun Fat, on the other hand, it was not even having problems with his role as a mafia boss. Such roles also catapulted the name of Chow in the 1980's.

Even if there is a problem, perhaps only a matter of directing and a script that seems too forced. Like rice, this movie feels like the rice that is too long dimasak.Genre: Drama

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2 Posted by Galaxy_Zone at 8:23 PM

Synopsis
Since the robbery which happened to them, Kristi (Sprague Grayden) and Dan Rey (Brian Boland) decided to install CCTV cameras throughout their homes as well as to supervise their son who was a baby. Not long ago, some strange events began to happen in that house. Genesis is difficult to accept common sense.

Kristi and Dan do not believe that what is happening in their homes was caused by evil spirits. Precisely Ali (Molly Ephraim), daughter of Dan, who began to wonder and find out the cause of the strange events. What was originally just feels annoying slowly but surely turned into something horrible. The first victim is a dog, but Dan and Kristi Kristi was not long ago began to show strange symptoms.

When the situation has begun to out of control, and decided to ask for help on Martine (Vivis Cortez), a former aide Dan and Kristi. Unfortunately this effort seems to be too late because the evil forces that include the home of Dan and Kristi was already had his own plans. Looks like this evil plan has nothing to do with Hunter, the son of Dan and Kristi who was a baby.

Review
Not the first time made a successful movie sequel. It was all the studio would expect to rake in more dollars by exploiting the popularity of the first film. It did not matter if this sequel worth watching and it seems this is not happening at Paranormal Activity 2. The second section serves as a prequel that it fails to match Paranormal Activity reputation earned in the year 2007.

Repeating a concept with the same formula does not guarantee a success. As well as the first part, Paranormal Activity 2 is the formula-faux documentary that is usually powerful enough to involve the audience in the story plot is really just a fiction of the author manuscript. It may be that the audience was already bored with this trick. If you want to step back, it's been quite a lot of movies that 'pretend' to be a documentary like this.

If Paranormal Activity first horror movie that was so phenomenal, the second part is actually not too far from some other horror movie. Tricks using small surprises throughout the film that usually is identical to the horror film was also used here. Effective? Maybe, but not for long term. At the end of the movie, the little surprise effect is gone, although the ending of this movie is actually still an opportunity for the next sequel
