You have waited for it to come to theatres and you have heard about it. Now it is finally here. Scary Movie 3, starring Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris), Tom Logan (Charlie Sheen), Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall), and many more, While paying tribute to The Ring, 8 Mile and Signs. The plot is based on The Ring. The movie starts off; the same as the original movie and later adds another satire to the movie.

While the previous two scary movies satirized only horror films. It was difficult to follow a movie that deals with horror but tries to follow a boy who wants to become a rapper, too Scary Movie 3 had several humorous scenes at once, that by the time you have recovered from laughing at one scene, another has already passed. For, this movie to be rated PG-13; it contained a lot more provocative scenes than the other two.

The objective of the movie is for Cindy Campbell who has become a news reporter, to investigate mysterious crop circles on Tom Logan’s farm. But Cindy later comes across videotape that has killed one of her friends and seeks help from a prophet, Orpheus (Eddie Griffin), who tells Cindy she must help the president (Leslie Nelson) to prevent alien invasion because she is “the one.” Cindy later discovers she has to find the little girl and put her back in the well to prevent the seven-day death of everyone who has watched the videotape.

Scary Movie 3 has several celebrities from other movies and rap artists, which made the movie very different from the first two, which did not have that many known celebrities in it. Most of the celebrities acting skills were terrible and it seemed as if the directors included everyone in the movie who asked for a role.

Even so, this was a very comical movie. Although the Wayans brothers did not help produce nor star, it still turned out well. It seems that the new directors of this film are trying a little to hard to make the movie amusing. It was a good movie, yet there were scenes when the overacting made the movie a little puzzling.

If you are expecting to see a humorous film, this is for you, but if you are planning to catch a film that you think is better than the first two, you better think again. But do not wait to long to catch the film because Michael Jackson is not to happy about a look-alike pretending to be him and Jacko gets offended by the scene, so this scene may not be in the movie for to long (Yeah Right), do not take this the wrong way, it is a funny but yet offensive scene.

Scary Movie 3, is one funny but yet effortless movie, but you are unable to judge unless you see it for yourself.

Beware, your curiosity will give you a scare. From the werewolves, vampires, boggiemans, to you being trapped away from sight of any humans.

This haunted house has it all. If you are looking for a good scare, then this is for you. For all of you first timers, this house will blow you away.

Do not let the intimidating workers frighten you. You have nothing to fear, unless you are unable to find your way out of here.

I recommend those individuals who enjoy this type of surrounding, to go out and explore this as well as other haunted houses.

This haunted house first begins with a walk up an old staircase to a room where you’re able to take pictures with spooks of all sorts. Next, you travel through a forest that is completely dark and ends with a trip down a slide to the next floor. There are so many walls so use your hands to help you feel your way through the house. Don’t get trapped-up in the mysterious room where you have to find the right door to get out, or else, the blinking lights will cause you to loose your sight. Don’t let the rooms that appear to be the same confuse you, the sceneries are different and the creatures change. There is another long slide at the end. So, be careful and lay still if you want to get out of here alive.

Be sure to check out the gift shop to pick up a creepy souvenir or your photo. And do not stay away to long, or else, the creepy workers might attempt to call you on the phone?

The cost of this haunted house is not worth its price on the weekend because it is so crowded that you are unable to be scared the same as if you were alone. The Beast will probably be a lot better on the weekday since it is hardly ever crowded and the price is cheaper. This haunted house has a two for one package deal that also includes, admission to The Edge of Hell, another spine chilling haunted house.

Catacombs may be a two in one package along with the Extreme Scream, but this haunted house is a total let-down. If you’re anticipating a good scare, then you’re at the wrong place.

The workers were either tired or just plain lazy on the night of our visit and all special effects, including costumes and environment, were cheap and disappointing. Nothing was startling about this haunted house – every attempted scare was expected by the victim.

The spooks in both Catacombs and Extreme Scream may have had a long night and possibly were just sick and tired of doing their job – of spooking – but that’s no excuse for the waste of $20. Around every corner, you’ll be confronted with spooks who are anticipating you and yet fail to attempt scaring you, its as if these spooks knew they weren’t going to scare their victims and just gave up. These houses may be better if attended early in the evening when the spooks are nothing but ready to scare their victims.

If you’re looking for a good scare you’re in the wrong place.

There are lots of reasons to be cautious in driving.
The use of cell phones can be one reason for bad driving. According to an Education on Common Objections to Cell Phone Legislation many distractions occur in the car. But none of the distractions rise to the same level of driver in attention as does dialing and then conducting a conversation. Human Factors experts target three kinds of driving distractions. The first is visual. Looking away from the roadway would be an example of this. The second is mechanism. This would include manipulation of control-such as dialing a cellular phone or adjusting a radio, and can often be associated with visual distractions. The third is cognitive. Being “lost in thought” or being in focused conversations with someone causes us to withdraw from situational awareness.
Road Rage is considered to be another type of bad driving. According to researcher the overly crowded roads are one major reason for the increase in road rage, higher levels of stress and anxiety appear to occur in daily lives, which can over-power our driving. People have become so rushed that they do not have enough patience with a slow moving car. Instead, obscene gestures and verbal abuse is used for abusing other drivers.
Drunk driving is said to be a major cause of bad driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that alcohol is involved in 3 percent of all fatal crashes and 7 percent of all crashes in the U.S.. Alcohol use and driving are like water and oil, they don’t mix. Alcohol accounts for as many as 24,000 deaths each year and three out of 10 people will be involved in an alcohol-related accident sometime in their lives.
A few signs of drunk driving would be drifting or weaving, speeding or driving slowly, or driving with headlights off in the dark. According to the National Household survey on Drug Abuse, the prevalence of driving after alcohol use was highest among drivers aged 21-34, while driving after drug use was highest among younger drivers aged 16-20.
In order to avoid a bad driver you must be aware and recognize a hazardous driver and do whatever is possible to avoid contact with this type of driver. By doing so, you can avoid an accident.
