Review: Paranorman

Yep, it’s starting to look like we’ve become the house of Paranorman around here, thanks to the contest…and now this review, but really- you will like this. I did. I really, really did.

Synopsis: A misunderstood boy who can speak with the dead, takes on ghosts, zombies and grown-ups to save his town from a centuries-old curse.

Now, as clear as I can make this…this is the best mix of ‘a movie the kids can see that the parents won’t get bored as fuck at’. Remember when cartoons were like that? Now they suck. This movie CAN be a bit scary at times for very little ones (which was hilarious to the Zombiequeen and I when we heard a little one squeek out ‘I don’t wanna see this movie anymore…’ during a scary scene followed by a moment of quiet.) But overall it’s a pretty safe bet that kids will like it… especially ‘spooky kids’. Enough about the rugrats, Adults will like it too… full of social commentary that is subtle instead of skull crushing, and visually beautiful, Paranorman is a hit for everyone.
I definitely approve:

The best 4 days in gaming celebrates it’s 45th year!!! Wow, that is impressive- we will be sponsoring the annual Zombie Walk again with prizes and giveaways, it’s nice to be a small part of that 45 year legacy!
We will be tweeting/Facebooking and crap, so be sure to check out those pages to keep up with what is happening along with our regular posts!

About Zombies vs. Strippers
Something is taking over Redbox video rentals. It started when the bath salt epidemic brought the “zombie apocalypse” to the forefront of media attention. Now, as the sun goes down over Los Angeles, the walking dead are making a surprise attack. Zombies Vs. Strippers is a fun, comedic horror movie with the perfect blend of “brains” and… you know. The Tough Titty has seen better days and tonight it’s gonna see a whole lot worse. How do Vanilla, Bambi, and Sugar Hills deal with the disaster? The only way strippers can. Blood and brassieres are flying – and fans are gobbling it up.

Directed by: Alex Nicolaou. Starring: Circus-Szalewski (Dead Want Women, Evil Bong), Eve Mauro (Osombie, Sorority Party Massacre), Brittany Gael Vaughn (Hair, Hairspray), and adult star Adriana Sephora.
