And I say theoretically because they also had to find a way to completely ruin The Marked Ones by, somehow, without any explanation or thought put behind it, tying it to the events that are happening in the main franchise. The Marked Ones, while I wouldn't call it a good movie, was a moderate success because it, theoretically, shifted away from the contrivances of the main franchise and nonsensical plot developments. It's hard to maintain the quality of a franchise when you put out a new movie every year. A lot of it is also the fact that, until The Marked Ones, the films were released on a yearly basis. It's just a matter of fact, simply because a lot of it felt like repeating the same scares that were established in the first movie. Every sequel in this film, minus the Marked Ones, has been worse than the one that came before it. Ever since then, however, the film has seen a steep decline in quality. The first film was really good, the second movie was good, but it fucked with the timeline so much that it really hurt that second installment a lot. I was gonna start off this review by saying how the mighty have fallen but, let's be fair, the Paranormal Activity franchise was never mighty. I would only recommend this movie to those who wish to make sarcastic remarks about its terrible quality, as I did. Rather than thinking about negatives to bring my rating down, in this film I've grasped at straws to find shreds of affirmative elements of this monstrosity. To conclude, I am officially saying that Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension is the worst movie I have ever seen, and I've seen some garbage. It did expand on Katie and Kristi's intriguing story, and left me yearning for an end to their tale, for the sake of closure and cinematic quality. And that wasn't the only moment where the plot turned silly.Īlthough idiotic, the connections to the old films is at least half positive. Unlike its predecessor, The Ghost Dimension tries to relate back to the same world as the rest of the Paranormal Activity series through the tapes, an old set, and time travel. The final thing I want to mention is the connection to the previous films. No deeper meaning either, this film is one dimensional along with its characters. The only genres you'll find here us flimsy attempts at horror, thriller, and comedy. The characters themselves were one dimensional with hardly any back story. The only incident where I felt any emotion from these characters performances was a pleading look from Brittany Shaw as the last line of defence from keeping Leila from the demon. It's almost as if there was a competition for the worst possible actor. Murray, Michael Rawic and Ivy George join old faces Chloe Csengery (young Katie), Jessica Tyler Brown (young Kristi), Hallie Foote (Grandma Lois), and Aidan Lovekamp (Hunter Rey). New faces Olivia Dudley, Brittany Shaw, Don McManus, Cara Pifko, Dan Gill, Chris J. With a small low budget film of course comes a small low budget cast. This movie should be rated PG-13 for no sudden jump scares, no invincible antagonists, and no reason to fear anything in this film. And without any spoilers what is seen is by far the most ridiculous thing and quite possibly the worst executive decision ever made in a film.Īnother element that was excised was the actual horror in this horror film. The 'evolution' of this demon culminated at this films' conclusion. At parts during the film, this mass was given a hideous face that stunk of cheap CGI and was almost comedic to look at. It looks like some sort of black liquidy mass darting around the room not posing any legitimate threat to its victims. Now with the magical camera, we can actually see the demon, and it's not a good look. The invisible entity unleashing chaos, murder, and destruction everywhere it went was a credible threat. Along with that, Gregory Plotkin (who is not known for any decent work) removed all elements that made this saga engaging. There was a point in the movie where two characters were having an in depth conversation about Santa Clause and I knew that there was nothing the movie could do at that point to redeem itself. Often in the script you can see the writers killing time. The sheer boredom of this movie is unbearable, and 90 minutes was far too long. The plot itself has been recycled TOO MANY TIMES. It is evident that the writers have run out of ideas this time. This is the Paranormal activity series' 6th film and is by far the worst installment. I want to start off by saying that this movie is disappointing in every sense of the word. I destroy every hedge the enemy has put over my blessings to prevent me from receiving them in my lifetime, in Jesus’ name.I break in pieces every horn scattering my blessings, in the name of Jesus Christ.I uproot and destroy from my life by the Holy Ghost fire every obstacle to my miracle, in Jesus’ name.I remove from my life by fire every barrier to my breakthroughs in Jesus’ name.LORD, restore my wasted efforts, money, health, strength and blessings, in Jesus’ name.Oh LORD, restore my wasted years in Jesus’ name.Fire of God, consume the evil clock of the enemy that is working against my life, in the name of Jesus.I command seven-fold restoration of everything the enemy has taken from me, in Jesus’ name.(pick from the under listed) to be repaired, in the name of Jesus. I command all the damages done to my life by.I recover all the ground that I had lost to the enemy, in Jesus’ name.I retrieve back from the hands of the enemy any of my possession that I unknowingly misplaced, in Jesus’ name.I paralyze every activity of physical and spiritual parasites and devourers in my life, in the name of Jesus.I command all evil unknown forces organised against my life to be scattered, in the name of Jesus.I bind the spirit of depression, frustration and disillusionment in my life, in the name of Jesus.I bind and cast out every strong man in my life, family or environment who refuses to release my blessings, breakthrough, miracle, promotion or prosperity in Jesus’ name. Powers denying me my due miracles, receive the stones of fire, in the name of Jesus.Every person or personality who has taken what belongs to me I command them to release it in Jesus’ name.I receive the anointing of restoration in Jesus’ name.Lord, open doors of opportunity to me through this prayer, in the name of Jesus.I decree that every word that come out of my mouth as I pray today must be fulfilled in Jesus’ name.Touch your lips and confess this: “my mouth is anointed with the power of God Almighty”.Confess and repent of all sins, known and unknown.Thank God for His goodness, mercy, love and provisions.I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the Shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together: That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it. I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. 1:12: Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.Īnd I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. Job lost all but in the end everything was restored to him even in multiple-fold.Īs you pray these prayer points, power for restoration will be released into your life. God has promised in Joel 2:25 to restore unto us our lost and wasted years.Įverything lost to the devil will be restored by God. Jesus said, “I am come that you might have life and life more abundantly “(John 10:10). The good news is that what is killed, stolen or destroyed by the enemy can be restored by God. Many, through carelessness break the protective hedge God has placed around their lives and property. The Bible says, “When the hedge is broken, the serpents will bite” (Ecclesiastes 10:8). His greatest design is to destroy the image of God in man. ” It is the devil’s job to steal, to kill and to destroy. Job 42: 10: “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.” Whenever you want to ‘possess your possession’ No matter the spiritual height from which you have fallen, God is very much interested in restoring you, if only you can cry unto Him for mercy. 10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back because I have compassion on them, and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them. Have you lost your health to chronic and terminal diseases?.Is your family battered and marriage chattered?.Do you desire a recovery of past financial losses?.Were your things stolen and you desire recovery and arrest of the thieves?.Are your debtors refusing or unable to pay?.Did you notice any loss of destiny lately to evil covenant and spell?. It would have been nice to see some of the other players making kills. The only time Tag players other than Susan and Gersh appeared was when they were interacting with Susan or Gersh. It would have been better if the identity of the killer was not shown so we do not see what the killer looks like. The killer is revealed within the first 20 minutes. It not only would have made it more interesting but also more suspenseful. The movie thus should have devoted more to the game itself. The biggest draw to the movie and the real reason there is a cult following of sorts (cult following among those who actually saw it) is because of kids or teens who had dart guns and loved the concept of the game being portrayed and in fact this movie inspired the creation of such games. The acting is better than in slashers but the script ends up being lacking at times, not enough comedy and the romance angle was largely boring. They had one son together Born October 4, 1989, Dalton Abbott.)īasically a cross between a slasher film, romantic comedy and drama. They were married from Decemtill they were divorced in 1989. (Incidentally, Bruce Abbott apparently did "get" Linda Hamilton in the end after all, in reality that is. She's beautiful here, and thankfully we would see a lot more of her skill and beauty in the years to come, and still do. One can tell from watching her in TAG that she already had a good grip on her craft. Her role as Sarah Connor in Terminator (1984) was still two years away. Aside from a couple of TV roles and minor work, TAG is Linda Hamilton's first real film. After TAG, Carradine went on to do Revenge of the Nerds in 1984 as Lewis Skolnick. Zab), Robert Carradine appears in Tag as a dashing cigar smoking journalist who falls in love with the movies heroine. Having already been in a number of films before TAG, (most notable to me is The Big Red One as a cigar smoking writer named Pvt. He was also the original man behind the mask in Halloween. Castle would later go on to direct more commercially honed films (for that time period) such as The Last Starfighter, The Boy Who Could Fly, and others. Castle was involved in helping his friend, Director John Carpenter write Escape From New York, and TAG was Castle's first Directing project. TAG, was written and Directed by Nick Castle. Till then, I guess its out of print VHS tapes. I hope some day TAG gets remastered to DVD. Though I've never seen anything else really like TAG, there are a few other movies that one might like if they like it, such as Silver Streak (1976), and Foul Play (1978). It also shows that gore, tons of violence, etc., is not necessary to make a good thriller. Its ending is serious, but with a wink, and an homage to those noir films of yesteryear. The movie is a decent paced 80's film with a noir like tongue in cheek quality to it that develops into the dark and serious, contains a fair amount of suspense, and pulls it all off with nice style for a little film. The reigning champion (played wonderfully by Bruce Abbott in his first film role) gets so upset over getting tagged and losing that he decides to use real bullets instead and continue on with the game. It's all a fun pastime with a chance to meet new people. There are a few rules to this campus game (game play stops at 12:00 midnight, etc.), but that's about it. The last man or woman who hasn't been hunted down and successfully tagged in the end, wins. TAG players are given lists of targets (consisting of other players in the TAG group) that they chase after all over the large college campus with fake plastic suction tipped dart guns. At a college campus the latest pastime is a game called TAG. So, here is a little more information about this great flick. Most people who've seen this film give it decent reviews, but the reviews themselves are few and far between. A lot of people simply don't appear to know much about this dark comedy/thriller. I've watched it many times since I discovered it in the early 80's (after which I got a few people together in my high school so we could hunt each other down with rubber band guns –not recommended). TAG, The Assassination Game (1982) is a great little film that has gained a strong, though seemingly small fan following over the years. Think of something along the lines of Terror Train (1980 with Jamie Lee Curtis), except with comedy and a tongue in cheek quality to it, at least in the films first half. Tag is a dark comedy-thriller that takes place on a college campus during the 1980's. Jaded viewers imposing current film standards and expectations may want to look elsewhere, but if one has an appreciation for 80's movies and other movies of this type and pace, then it's clear that Tag has aged well for what it is. “So not only can my patients not talk to me, they are doing their utmost to hide disease symptoms.”Ī heart condition will often show up during a full health exam, he added. “Wild animals will do everything they can to hide symptoms of disease until the end, because in the wild, if you start looking in poor health, you are potentially going to be somebody’s lunch, or your own group will start picking on you because that’s their social dynamic,” he explained. However, heart disease can be hard to identify even when you’re monitoring an ape every day, as de Maar, the senior vet at the zoo, told The Daily Beast. Veterinarians have been aware of this phenomenon for decades many actually banded together to form the Great Ape Heart Project, an organization dedicated to studying the issue, back in 2010. Several experts on great ape health also told The Daily Beast that the heart conditions, including the one Martha had, are actually incredibly common among gorillas in zoos. Some make it over 50 in zoos, but only with a level of medical monitoring and intervention that they wouldn’t get in nature. In the wild, most gorillas die between the ages of 30 and 40. But Martha Robbins, a leading gorilla researcher and conservationist, told The Daily Beast that, for a gorilla, Martha wasn’t young at all. Notably, some truthers have focused on Martha’s age, likely because they are obsessed with the idea that COVID-19 vaccines are causing an unprecedented epidemic of heart disease among young, healthy humans, and 32 sounds quite young. The cascade began with fibrosing heart disease, which led to renal failure.”īut just because Martha’s death was sudden and unexpected doesn’t mean that it was totally inexplicable, or even unusual. On April 27, the zoo released an official statement from their senior veterinarian, Thomas de Maar, explaining that, upon examination of Martha’s body, he and his colleagues had found “multiple organ abnormalities, which, in turn, created a life-ending cascade. In the days before her death, she was receiving treatment for a urinary tract infection, but seemed fine otherwise, according to zookeepers who monitor the Gladys Porter Zoo’s animals several times every day. The tweet ultimately linked back to a conspiratorial Substack newsletter post about Martha’s death that has circulated widely in vaccine-skeptic circles. FAUCI’S NA?I SCIENCE KILL HER,” one account on Twitter blared in a tweet posted on May 7. “TOTALLY UNNECESSARY TO GIVE THE ANIMALS THE VACCINE FOR COVID. Accordingly, it’s triggered a fresh round of digital outrage as it’s spread across fringe corners of social media. Yet for all its novel elements, this tale still appears to be grounded in long-standing truther tropes about the risks that vaccines supposedly-but in fact do not-pose to heart health and current or expectant mothers in particular. It seems to signal a new level or type of so-called COVID tyranny, and involves a uniquely tragic victim-a sweet, endangered animal. This is a compelling narrative for many in the truther crowd. Which, to anti-vax eyes, was clearly caused by the jab. Then she died suddenly and unexpectedly of multiple organ failure, stemming from an undetected fibrosing heart disease. According to a slew of COVID truther articles, newsletters, and social media posts, she was a happy, healthy mother-until zoo staff senselessly injected her with a COVID-19 vaccine. Until last month, Martha, a 32-year-old western lowland gorilla, lived at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas. But earlier this month, influencers in this space identified a totally new and unexpected alleged vaccine victim: a gorilla. After spending over a year attempting to implicate overwhelmingly safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines in as many deaths and injuries as possible, you’d think pandemic truthers would be running low on novel fearmongering narratives to peddle.

Despite knowing where to get the best vegan cream cheeses at bagel shops in Brooklyn, I don’t know much about store-bought dairy-free cream cheese. To my surprise, they were always as good as the real deal. I learned about the wonders of vegan cream cheese when I moved to New York for college and found out every bagel shop stocks plenty of plant-based options. I’ve seen it as high as $11.99 online.Cream cheese is one of the most perfect dairy products known to humanity, so it makes sense that vegans and the lactose intolerant want to get in on the delicious fun.

Kite Hill’s creamy lemon ricotta pasta recipe. It is usually used as an ingredient in many Italian dishes, including lasagna, cannoli, and ravioli. Ricotta is a kind of cheese traditionally made from cow’s milk that has been heated, run through a cheesecloth, and left to drain for about one day.

Sometimes I just use it as a dip…a dip for my giant spoon, that is □! This is the only vegan ricotta that I’ve found good enough to eat right off the spoon that wasn’t my own homemade tofu ricotta. I opened it and smelled it and thought hmmm this has potential.then the taste.no, not cream cheese. This cheese would be great on pizza, pasta dishes, or even sandwiches. I read reviews on this and got really excited about it. I would not have been able to tell any difference between Kite Hill’s ricotta and regular ricotta if I didn’t know that it was vegan. It tastes like ricotta in that it has a light, fresh flavor with just the right amount of tanginess. The texture is firm, and the consistency is creamy. Kite Hill’s ricotta is a tasty dairy-free alternative to ricotta cheese. |
