Supernatural footage

An homage to Paranormal Activity

To be honest, I have done a lot writing about found footage movies lately because of the release of Paranormal Activity 4, but I certainly didn't expect to write about it here. It seems the writers of Supernatural have joined found footage bandwagon in the latest episode.

The episode revolves around three students, one of which is putting together a movie. It's your typical handsome hulk, hot girlfriend and nerdy dweeb scenario and is shot using a variety of angles including hand-held and hidden security-like cameras.

Monster of The Week

Series examines complex relationship

After many, many and many more story arc episodes, it's nice to get back to the Monster of the Week even it was a little lame. The episode did touch on the subject of Sam going back to a normal life after ridding the world of demons.

It's an odd relationship with the brothers this year. They are both looking for normalcy, but it two completely different ways. Sam wants the white picket fence, dog and adoring wife that he had while Dean was in Purgatory. Dean's been in survival mode for a year and wants to get back to the only thing he really knows how to do: hunt.

Yes, it's getting better

Episode II gives us what we want.

I knew things were going to be awesome when they played FBI agents and identified themselves as Sixx and Neil. That was a sign to the fans that things were getting back to normal in the Supernatural universe.

It was a nod to naming themselves after classic rock band members, but that practice was curtailed after the Leviathans made them public enemy number 1. Last season, everything changed and no one liked it. They killed off Bobby, they made Cas crazy and there were so many lame “Dick” jokes that you wanted to change the channel.

Wait...another flashback

Supernatural returns for Season 8

I was a bundle of nerves Wednesday night as I anxiously awaited the season premiere of Supernatural. When it arrived, I knew the old Supernatural was back. Classic rock, Metallicar and the definite influence of Carver.

Overall, I enjoyed the episode and it did a great of job of setting up the season. It was great to see Kevin outsmart Crowley and I am anxious to see what happened to Castiel. It sounds like something pretty bad went down, but I know he's going to be back this season.
