PBS series raises family questions
Through an online registry, Marsh was able to discover other children of Donor 150, her half siblings, all close to her own age, five of whom also appear in the film. A newspaper article in
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — The family has always been a more elastic body than the defenders of its narrowest definition would like to admit, and as science changes the face of procreation, and the Internet increases the flow of information, that body is stretching in new and unexpected ways.
Directed by Jerry Rothwell (who made the equally open-hearted, unsentimental 2008 documentary "Heavy Load" about a developmentally disabled British pink band), it begins as the story of Joellen Marsh, who originally knew her father only as Donor 150. Marsh, around 20 when we meet her, is an ebullient, erudite and attractive young woman, and she provides the spine the story hangs on — even as it gathers from half a dozen other directions into a tale of mutual discovery and shared DNA.
"Donor Unknown," which airs Sunday on PBS as part of "Independent Lens," looks at a particular group of people in a particular time — the half siblings anonymously fathered by a single sperm donor — but it's also a story of the general future: "And it's the beginning" are the last words spoken here.
which she and half sister Danielle Pagano were featured came accidentally to the attention of their biological father, Jeffrey Harrison, a self-described "beach bum" living with four dogs and a pigeon in a semi-operational RV along Southern California's Venice Beach. After some thought, he made his identity known.
The film follows Marsh as she goes to meet Harrison and some half siblings. Rothwell holds back some information — that Harrison believes that a "ruling elite" controls the weather, for instance — until late in the story so that you like him before you judge him. He's unconventional and perhaps a little lost, but he isn't crazy, nor is his hodgedge spirituality particularly radical.
"This earthly life is transitory, and the joys of this world are ephemeral," he had written on his donor profile, moving to tears one couple who bought his DNA. "Keep your mind open, and if sincere, great fortune will come."

Box office domination
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
The gold standard for this is "Saw," which, for seven straight
It was also the highest total for any October opening in history and a number that — heavens to Betsy — equaled the amounts for all the other films in the box-office top 10 ... combined. "Paranormals" ticket receipts this weekend put it on pace to easily top the $85-million cumulative total of the second movie and almost certainly the $107-million total of the first film as well. Many sequels lose steam by their third go-round. But Americans (and plenty of other people around the world) are seemingly more eager than ever to plunk down money to watch Katie get haunted, spooked and tormented.
LOS ANGELES — By any measure, the numbers this weekend for "Paranormal Activity 3" were impressive. The low-budget horror prequel took in a whopping $54 million, the biggest debut in more than two months.
Of course, this weekend only tells a small piece of the story. The larger play for "Paranormal" producers and studio Paramount Pictures lies with morphing the brand from a one-off, out-of-nowhere discovery two years ago into a long-running, durable franchise that serves as the holy grail for any movie studio. (Although there's no official word of a fourth movie, you can bet your last VHS tape there'll be one.)

Certainly "Paranormal" would seem well-positioned to carry on the "Saw" mantle: It has the brand name, the fan base and, now that "Saw" has wound down its run, the Halloween period to itself. Already the series is on track to take in a good deal more than the first three "Saw" movies.
Octobers beginning in 2004, was one of the most popular of modern movie franchises. It was a triumph of the slow-but-steady variety — no film grossed more than $90 million, but, save for the sixth one, took in at least $45 million each time out, a solid feat in an era when big franchises often fly too close to the sun and burn up.
But there are also some big distinctions between the showy splatter of Jigsaw and his victims and the haunted-house creeps of Katie and her family. Perhaps the
biggest one is that "Paranormal" relies on the novelty of a format
With "Saw," there was something ritualistic, even cathartic (in that torture-porn, excessive-violence sort of way) about watching characters get brutalized, a kind of cinematic candy corn. But "Paranormal" relies as much on narrative and the conceit of individual films, which is a lot less easy to churn out every year.
That "Paranormal" is flourishing, particularly in the recently struggling world of horror, is a marvel. But creating a seven-film mainstay is hard, and one weekend, no matter how stupendous, is no guarantee that marvel will continue.
— found footage — and novel formats tend to wear out their welcome pretty quickly, especially as the knockoffs start to fly.
