Today, I went to the movie 'Annabelle' with some friends of mine. I woke up late, very late actually, just ten minutes before the time we had agreed to meet each other.Fortunately, I was the one who had decided the time and I had said everyone to come earlier my half hour so that we could start at the right time. So I got ready at my own leisure when my phone rang just as I washed my face.
It was my friend. He was going to the rendezvous point when he called to check me up. I told him I woke up late and had to take lunch before joining them. He just told be to hurry and hung up.
So I had my lunch. I couldn't really eat much as I had eaten a lot the day before at the treat(it was my treat and I have already written a post on it, nothing fancy-just normal). So I met with the others and after some last minute change of plans to accommodate some people and to leave out some people we started late for the movie.
When we arrived there, the movie had already begun. I wasn't expecting much from the movie as one of the guys with us had actually watched it yesterday and said it was no good.
The movie was literally normal for a ghost movie. There wasn't much excitement. But I getting really worked up with my friends and the other audience as they cracked jokes about the ghost and the movie. I really hate watching scary movies like that.
This is what I figured from their jokes. These people are using humor as a mechanism to hide their fears supposedly. Many of the guys had come with girls. So I guess they apprently didn't want to show any fears.
But, despite a hateful first half, the second half was better. There weren't a lot of jokes being cracked and the movie got better too. There were many scary scenes. But for some reason, there weren't scary enough to make me shout, which I usually do while watching these sort of movies. May be the same theory that I stated above was the reason. I was also excited about the scary scenes that I was smiling during the run-up to the scary scenes. It was excitement laughter. Although I did not smile I had quite a lot jerks. There was also another problem with the first half. One of the scenes were supposed to be wet-your-pants scary. But I had already watched the scene on a video in fb that showed the reactions of audience while watching the movie. On the bright side, I had forgotten all the other scenes from the video and remembered only after watching the scene on the theater.
It was also a bad idea to have watched the trailer already for the same reason stated above. Well, in the end, second half is what usually matters in movie because you tend to forget the first half in comparison to the second half.
Due to the better second half, I actually ended up liking the movie and I also liked that how they had connected the movie to the movie 'Conjuring'. Despite the easy climax, it was overall a good movie and I liked it.
Later after the movie, I went to Elliot's beach with my friends and ate like a ton of food, although I don't like the impression 'ton of food'. I just ate plenty of food in the evening enough to keep me filled for the night and I satisfied myself with a banana milkshake for the night that I had asked a couple of friends to get me take away from a juice shop. I kind of feel like I'm going too much into the unnecessary details. But then, this is blog, so who cares?
That's about it. Despite the poor first half it was an above normal ghost movie and I like to be scared in a movie like that.
