Conjuring R.I.P.D.

Initially, have no plans of leaving the house because of the rain; but, when I saw that The Conjuring and R.I.P.D. is already in the theaters, decided to go.

But first, went to The Landmark to buy some groceries.  Not panic buying.  At least, there would be something to eat in the house if we once again experience similar fury of Typhoon Maring plus habagat.

Then, bought the movie tickets at a discount (thanks to my BPI Amore).  Had brunch at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf of Salmon Scramble.  

My first movie is "The Conjuring".  It is about one of the cases of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.  The case is that of the Perrons family whose house in Rhode Island was haunted by demons.  The house's initial owner/s practices witchcraft.  Even if the Perrons are not baptized, the Vatican approved the exorcism.


Not really that terrifying; but, I would consider this second to The Exorcism of Emily Rose for it is well-crafted.  For movies like this, it is not only the thrill of being afraid but being able to present that "he (Satan) is normally happier not to be recognized but to work in a hidden and secret way--there is less danger of stirring up opposition if he is unrecognized" [Fr. Benedict Heron, OSB].  Also, "the good news is that God's love for us and His protection is infinitely more than the hatred and power of the demons towards us" [Fr. Jose Francisco C. Syquia].

My next movie is "R.I.P.D.", an action, adventure and comedy film about two cops dispatched by the Rest In Peace Department to protect and serve the living from souls who refuse to move on.  Funny.


After had meryenda of Mongolian Quickbox at Food Choices, bought bottles for Holy Water at SM Makati as well as rain boots (must be because flood water entered our house), medicines to stock at home at Mercury Drug, and cupcakes at The Vanilla Cupcake Bakery, before proceeding home.
