Disturbia

First off, it's very creepy to go and see a movie by yourself. This is the first time I have done this in a long time and it just feels...weird. I decided to unplug myself from The Game and go out and do something. I went to see Disturbia. This will be a mini review of what I experienced.

The Previews -

Resident Evil: Extinction - This trailer started off as a Las Vegas commercial and then it started to pan back. The commercial was on the MGM grand marquee and it slowly panned back to reveal a dust covered beat down Las Vegas Strip. The further it panned back, the more it revealed of the post-apocolyptic strip. I was getting gitty, I loved post apocolytpic movies, I live for them. Postman? I loved it. It kept going further and further out until it reached space and showed a satellite. On one of the solar panels was the Umbrella logo. I about jumped out of my seat cheering. They then cut to a Milla shot of her in tight shorts and loaded with guns. A bunch of action shots followed. I'm so going to this show, even if I have to go by myself.

28 weeks later - This is a sequel to the movie 28 weeks. A zombie movie set in England. The film is kinda shot "roughly" but I enjoyed it anyway. This one looks a bit more polished, so I'm going to see this one too. Nothing like a good zombie flick.

Transformers - I've seen this trailer but it was still good. Shai LeBouf is in this and it was recently announced that he will be in the new Indiana Jones movie as well. This is a Michael Bay film so I can expect nonstop action. I hope that it overshadows the fact that Bumblebee is a Camero.

Feature Presentation - *SPOILER ALERT*

I went into this movie expecting Texas Chainsaw Massacre and I got The Hand That Rocks The Cradle. It was suspenceful. I didn't care for Carrie Anne Moss's performance, but though that David Morse and Shai both did a good job. It did take more than a while to get going and it seemed like all the big action happened in the last 15 minutes or so. There were a couple of great cut away scenes that drew views down long hallways with the bad person coming into view or a lot of bad person emerges from the shadows shots. *ULTRA SPOILER ALERT* The bad guy didn't get up for a second try. I initially felt kind of annoyed that he didn't but then again, this really wasn't a big hack/slash type movie. It is a typical suspence type move, but they didnt' pull it. Also, when you go into these types of movies, you tend to (at least I do) try to pick up on little stuff that they'll tell you towards the beginning that you'll need to know in a time of dire need. They did a good job of going back to one of these tidbits and it was good that it wasn't the ultimate "out". I personally thought that they ran the "why didn't they try this" trick in the end by glossing over an obvious "out". Let's see if you can guess what it is.

So in the end I wasn't that scared. Maybe I'm just getting more used to movies like this. I can thanks Kyle and Evan for that. I was more scared when I came home to an empty 2 story house with the wind whistling and it being dark out. Not..a...fan.
