Movie With Pals

I have been watching lots of movies lately.

Just yesterday, I went to watch The Haunted House with Joanne, Jen Su, Ayoob and his friend and Phillip!




Malcolm and Kisha move into their dream home, but soon learn a demon also resides there. When Kisha becomes possessed, Malcolm - determined to keep his sex life on track - turns to a priest, a psychic, and a team of ghost-busters for help.


Considering Marlon Wayans’ crummy track record (Dance Flick,Little ManWhite Chicks), it’s amazing how laugh-out-loud funny A Haunted House turns out to be. 


This found-footage spoof impresses right out of the gate, because in the first five minutes one sacred movie taboo is thrown out the window and pummeled to absolutely absurd lengths. It’s actually a great way to start this fun ride, in which stretched-out gags rule the school.



Wayans is aided by his co-star Essence Atkins, whose role is filled not only with genre cliches, but ample room for wild comedic riffing -- a technique widely used by the talented supporting cast, including Cedric the Entertainer, David Koechner, Nick Swardson, and J.B. Smoove.





After the movie, we went for supper at a open-concept hawker opposite Centerpoint!
