Playing at a Theater Near You...
Disturbia
The Gist: A judge sentences an emotionally troubled teenager to a few months of house arrest after the kid punches his Spanish teacher in the face. (The Spanish teacher was a total douche bag and deserved to be punched.) As a result of his home confinement, the teen becomes quite the little voyeur. With the aid of his trusty pair of binoculars and incredibly amusing Asian friend, he starts watching all the neighbors – the boring neighbors, the very hot neighbor girl, and the neighbor whom he suspects of being a serial killer. “Hmm, an actual serial killer or not a serial killer...” that, is the question.
What Would Have Made this Movie Better: Nothing, with the possible exception of another scene of the teen watching his hot neighbor. In truth, I can’t think of anything that would have made this movie better. It was brilliant from start to finish, funny, scary, with a hint of romance too!
Who Should See This: People who do not like “scary” movies should avoid this one because there are definitely some “scream-worthy” moments. For the rest of you bastards, as Hannibal Lecter told Clarice Sterling, “GO NOW!” (to a theater that is, not to check on Hester Mofet!)
The Verdict: A.
Comments
...but I LIKED Hester! *pouts* Spoilsport.
I tried to see this movie last weekend, but the theatre it was playing at was so ghetto that the film had broken and they didn't want to fix it, because you know, NO ONE in their right mind would go to the theatre this weekend and NOT want to see Spiderman 3... but I digress.
I really can't go check on Hester?!

I heard this movie got good reviews. Looks like one to check out for sure.

I saw it in a theater where police came and arrested (or at least removed) five unruly teenagers. To quote my dad's former dentist, "That's the first time anything like that has happened to me!" I have no idea what differentiated these kids from every other person in the theater, but apparently the police had their reasons! In any event, I don't think you could get more ghetto than my experience.

I respectfully withdraw from the competition. Your theater was WAY more ghetto than mine. :)

in my theater there was a mouse/rat running amuck, a crying infant in the audience, and no fewer than three cell phones rang. how's that for ghetto?

The kid sitting next to me answered his cell phone FOUR times. Multiply this type of patron by too many people to count, and even with the mouse/rat/infant, I'd say I had the more ghetto-theater-going experience!
