Disturbia

Ok, this weekend I drove up to Parkersburg to stay with my non related “family”, also rented 2 movies. This entry is for “Disturbia” and I was highly “disturbed” and “disappointed” by the lack of suspense with this movie. As the trailers would have you think otherwise, this movie is like watching a plant grow from a seed. I will say the suspense was GREAT for the time allotted in the movie, which for me seemed to be only the last 30-40 minutes. Now I’m a man and of course I do not mind seeing beautiful actresses being drooled over by guys, but NOT for the entire first half of the movie!! The movie started off strong with the first 10 minutes then I think went to crap for the next 30-40. The ending was nice and suspenseful, David Morse makes a wonderful non emotional bad guy. If you want to make a nice thriller / suspense you don’t have 40 minutes of guys drooling over a girl next door. I give this movie a 5 out of 10.

Rating: 4.5 Stars

Starring Will Ferrell, and one of a more serious roles I have ever seen him perform in, was great in this movie. Once again I found myself relating 80% or more to a character in a movie. Things in common are: Smarts, Normality, Repetition, Routine, And the inability to just talk with the opposite sex, especially when we are attracted to them. However like “Harold Crick” when he and “Ana Pascal” finally got together, He was normal as could be and no longer a stumbling moron. I would almost go as far to say that he was the best guy that “Ana” ever hooked up with. Sure there was a hurdle to cross from the start but once it was defeated the relationship blossomed. I know its sad for me to think that “I” am like that but “Oh Well” life goes on and someday I will find my “Ana Pascal” that will drive me to be a better person myself, not to mention put up with my first blunderings. I will have to give this movie a 8 out of 10
