Disturbia

I finally went and saw Disturbia yesterday. It was alright. Personally, I found it pretty scary. It had me shaking in my seat. There were lots of creepy dead bodies hidden in the most unexpected places. They try pretty hard to make Shia LaBeouf's character, Cale, look like a "normal" testosterone-filled teenage boy. He plays XBox 360, half-stalks the hot blonde girl across the street, socks his Spanish teacher in the face, and would do anything for his iPod. However, even so, the film never feels dry or forced. After getting into house arrest for said Spanish-teacher-punching, Cale notices his other neighbor, Mr. Turner, the one that's neither hot nor blonde nor a girl, doing suspiciously-like-a-notorious-serial-killer-from-Texas things. So he joins forces with Ashley (his neighbor) and Ron, his best friend, to stake out Mr. Turner's house. They hit a lot of dead ends in which something that makes him look like he's a psycho serial killer turns out to be harmless. But in the end, Mr. Turner is a psycho serial killer. He has a lab for disembowelment and like I said, lots of unexpected places for him to hide the corpses. It all ends well, though, and by the end, Shia has dropped approximately infinity S-bombs. Not a movie for younger children.
