Disturbia
Well, beating out TMNT and Sunshine for our weekly cinema visit this week was the thriller; Disturbia.
I had heard very little about this film before I found out we were going to see it tonight. Reading the IMDB review, it sounded alright… “A teen living under house arrest becomes convinced his neighbor is a serial killer.”
Apart from the spelling of ‘neighbor’ which irked me slightly, the tag line sounded okay, any suspenseful thriller is worth a watch in my opinion, so ‘What the hell’, I thought and went along to see it.
I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. I had assumed it was going to be a real ‘teen thriller’ if you know what I mean - but as soon as I saw David Morse (of The Green Mile, The Rock, 16 Blocks etc..) was in it, I knew this was going to be something a little different - a departure from the usual thriller aimed at the younger generation movie-goer.
Reading about the trivia, I was unsurprised to read this little tid-bit; While David Morse (Mr. Turner) was filming a scene with Shia LaBeouf (Kale), he slammed his hand into a wall, breaking three fingers. LaBeouf said, “You could see that they were broken. They were all mangled. But he didn’t say a word about it. Everybody’s asking him what they can do to help, and he just says, ‘I’m okay. I’m okay. Let’s go again.’ It was intimidating, to say the least.”
Awesome.
It’s always a good feeling to leave the cinema knowing your money was well spent. And even better when you can add another notch to the ‘must-buy on DVD’ list. I’ve seen quite a few movies lately and with the exception of the new Mr. Bean film, I’d honestly say they were all movies I’d love to see again and own on DVD. And Disturbia is no exception.

will keep an eye out for that. Last film I had little expectation of and was blown away by was trainspotting (yes I know it’s yonks old!). Was expecting a dark and depressing film about drug addicts but from the second the beats to Lust for Life started I was hooked - and have rarely laughed and (almost) cried at a film so much, as well as bing freaked out and disgusted (in a good way) too.

Paul; Trainspotting was an amazing film.. I have to watch that again. Simply brilliant.
Kate; no bruise, but it sure as hell was sore last night
And what are you on about - there’s at least one photo of the bloke entirely by himself PLUS the poster which is just him with the binoculars! Geez! haha…
