Disturbia

We had a great Saturday night. Burke and Geo came over and we watched Disturbia. I hadn't seen it, yet. It was fantastic! Afterward, as is often my habit, I watched the special features and greatly enjoyed the director's take on the project: Say Anything meets scary movie. The tone of the film was great. It was fun and funny, it had romance, it was a coming of age film (in a subtle sense), and it was a thriller. Shia is turning out to be an incredibly enjoyable actor and I look forward to his future projects.
I was also impressed with the fact that it wasn't just a rip-off of Rear Window. They took it in a different direction with tone and character development. Well done. I give it an A+.
