Irish, you want to meet Shia. Yes? Hey, give Shia credit, he's like the Anti-Lindsay. 21 years old, incredibly talented, although his parents were admittedly a mess, much like Lohan's, yet this kid seems to be all class. I like him. True, its just I hated TRANSFORMERS and DISTURBIA. I mean, the latter was so contrived and forced, which is sad because one could have made a decent-good thriller out of that schlock.

They should've just re-made REAR WINDOW, the kid actually does have the acting chops.

I like that, Ronnie. You're quite a creative young man. When you're not too busy being a dick.

I like that, Ronnie. You're quite a creative young man. When you're not too busy being a dick.  Well, I'm a dick because I am creative. Which means, I might be the next Ridley Scott/Francis Ford Coppola/David Fincher. Creativity and positive results can excuse dickish behavior.

DISTURBIA  1/2 (First Viewing) After his father is killed in a car accident, things unravel for Kale Brecht and he is placed under house-arrest for punching his Spanish teacher. Having nothing better to do, Kale occupies himself by spying on his neighbors. But one night, he witnesses what appears to be a murder going on in Mr. Turner's house. Kale becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind these murders but, after a few unsettling run-ins with Mr. Turner, it becomes a matter of life and death. And the ominous question: Who is watching who? Before Shia starred in the blockbuster hit TRANSFORMERS, he was in the teenie bopper remake of REAR WINDOW. I didn't expect much for this movie and I wasn't disappointed as a result. How this was the #1 movie in America for a brief period of time is beyond me. I didn't find the film suspenseful at all, but rather bland and predictable. I like David Morse and I think the only reason he agreed to this film was because he was able to star in it as the villain (an opportunity he isn't afforded very often). It could also have been the paycheck, I really don't know on that one. Glad Shia rebounded from this one with TRANSFORMERS and I'm sure his next film, the 4th INDIANA JONES film will be an even bigger success.

SHAUN OF THE DEAD  (First Viewing) Shaun is a 29-year-old with no real ambition in life, much to the consternation of his friends, family, and fed-up girlfriend. With only a loyalty to his lazy best friend Edgar, a dead-end job where his employees step on him, and the good-ol' days, Shaun isn't exactly putting his best foot forward. But when the flesh-hungry undead start to rise in numbers around modern-day London, Shaun must come to the rescue of his girlfriend and mother before all hell breaks loose. With loyal Edgar at his side to fight the good fight, the two will have to pave their way through zombie-ridden London as Shaun must take on the first real challenge in his life--with comical results. Better than I expected. I'm not a fan of zombie movies and furthermore, sorry as it might be to say, I'm not a fan of British movies/television. I just never really have. There are the few exceptions (SNATCH comes to mind right now), but by and large I've never been big on British film (especially British comedies). I'm glad this film proved me wrong and I'm looking forward to HOT FUZZ. Also, the zombie part of the movie was tolerable because it was done in a tongue-and-cheek style.
