Film review
The Fourth Kind
Dir. Olatunde Osunsanmi. 2009. PG-13. 98mins. Milla Jovovich, Will Patton, Elias Koteas.
The Fourth Kind is actually the oldest kind of exploitation in the book: Break the fourth wall by having actors like chipper Milla Jovovich stare directly into the lens, self-identify like newscasters and testify for the shaky video footage of Alaskan alien possession you’re about to see. Unfortunately, none of the subsequent noise is all that scary, and the striving for Paranormal Activity’s buzz is shameless. (A true horror: The actors playing the “real” people in the videos are never identified in credits.) And why is it always “abduction,” and not, say, a game of Parcheesi? Sounds like some people need hugs.—Joshua RothkopfNow playing. Find showtimes

"...and the striving for Paranormal Activity’s buzz is shameless." This movie came out while Paranormal Activity was still in theaters. You do know how long it takes to make a movie with real actors, correct? This movie was in production before Paranormal Activity was probably even thought up. This makes your entire "review" idiotic and meaningless. Kudos.
