Disturbia Review

From the beginning this movie was rolling right along, not slow, not boring, not second of being annoyed. Well except for the scenes where they decided to use home video camera, and you kinda felt a little dizzy, but that just added to the goodness of the overall effect. It was funny, sexy, scary, and surprising. The concept was old, dating back to good old Alfred Hitchcock, and Rear Window of 1954. The modern twist on it made it worth seeing. A young kid stuck up all summer long in his house, after losing his dad. His mom seeing the guy who he thinks is a killer, a hottie next door has just moved in, and his best friend is just wacky. Throw all this stuff together, add some adjectives and mix it up just right and you got yourself a pretty damn entertaining movie. It doesn't stop, not for a second. It's over before you know it, and you are satisfied.

Shia LaBeouf does a pretty good job, and is going to have a promising career. He doesn't make you annoyed by his actions or moves, but does exactly what you would expect him to do. Aaron Yoo will have you laughing threw out the movie for his silly antics that continue through out the whole thing, with a curiously funny introduction to his character. A nice relief after the disturbing beginning of the movie. Sarah Roemer does a good job at dropping jaws, and plays the perfect tease. David Morse is just downright bad ass, but makes you hate his guts with his sneaky acts. Carrie Anne Moos is just hard to imagine as a mom, but her role is really annoying, treating her son like crap after everything he's been through. The movie has its good moments, and great moments, nothing really that bad to report at all. This isn't an Oscar movie, nor a straight to video show. It is the perfect date movie. It is a movie you can watch be entertained, maybe learn a few things about technology, and just hate the government some more. 4 out of 5 for this weekend thriller.

What a Night

Phillies lose again: making them 2-8....this is beginning to look really bad. Although the game was pretty fun. The highlight came when some young kid ran onto the field, no doubt wasted, and slide head first into second base. When the first security guard fell down and missed him he got back up and ran into the outfield. He tried to climb the fence only to be pushed off but other fans and have a bottle thrown at him. He would fall once again, not on purpose this time, and another security guard fell on top of him and also couldn't wrap him up. After that though the last security guard got lucky enough to handle, and of course this is were they all think they are tough and start to punch this poor drunken fan who was just trying to give us something to cheer for, because the Phillies sure didn't. Even though they abused, strangled, and hit him the whole time they were carrying him off, he was still able to put up his hands for the fans. Something many players don't do even when the crowd is going wild. You gotta love this a fan who goes all out for the crowd. Booo Secuirty, three cheers for that crazyyyy fan. The Phillies lost 9-6 and Carlos Lee got 3 homers, one was a granny. Oh well what can you do at this point.

Phillies Blow Another

Rollins gets two homers in another lost to the Mets, and the Phillies are now 2-7. What are we to do as Philly fans, every year same old stuff. To put the cherry on top, The Flyers got the second draft pick in the the 2007 draft. Even though they had a total of 56 points, and the Chicago Blackhawks who ended up with 71 points for the season got the first pick in the 2007 draft. Do I dare mention that the previous 4 years, Pittsburgh has had two first, and two second draft picks. Whatever, so the Phillies are 2-7, the Flyers the worse record ever have lost the first draft pick, and the Sixers who had a chance to get a decent player are slowly losing that too. What are we to DO?

Funniest thing EVER

Poor fella caught in the act with an blow up doll, may I point out that he is really taking this thing to town.

Phillies Win Another

2-6, not bad, that's how they started the last 3 out of 4 seasons. Let's just hope that they are able to overcome the odds of the past. No team has ever made it to the World Series since 1945 after starting 2-6. Will the Phillies overcome it, well if I know anything about Philadelphia sports, it's that we sure like to overcome great odds, and once we do, we usually fall flat on our face. Anyway, they one a game that was gift wrapped, and handed to them on a silver platter. They had four walks and a hit batsmen in one inning. I mean a total of 11 walks should led to a win for any team. Although I'm not taking anything away from the great Adam Eaton's performance. Throwing a solid seven innings while allowing only 2 runs. I mean this is what we expect from our starters, but the real kicker came when the bullpen and Gordon didn't give up a single run since they took over. First time of the year, WOW. Let's give a HOO-RAH to that. We beat the Mets, and are now 2-6 with are only other winning pitcher (Jamie Moyer aka 60 mph fastball guy) taking the mound tonight against future HOF Tom Glavine. If we can start swinging our bats at the right time, we can possibly gain back some lost ground on team batting average and start winning. Why is Burrell the one coming through? What is Howard doing, and why in the world is this bullpen so horrible? Let's push the past 10 days aside and start fresh and new in our own mind set. Phillies all the way in 2K7. I feel it, do you?
