Disturbia. Bad Name for a So-So Movie.
So I was listening to my new favorite movie reviewer, BDK and he recommended going to see Disturbia starring Shia LaBeouf. By the way, you can check out BDK’s website here at www.bdkreviews.com. I tend to listen to what he says, because unlike most critics, he tells you how you should be watching the movie as opposed to how good the movie is or not. It may sound stupid, but I think a lot of critics get so bogged down in trying to review a movie relative to GREAT ones, that they forget about the simple “entertainment factor” for individual flicks.
So long story short, BDK said this movie was going to be a sleeper hit for the year, and you should definitely see the movie in theaters. Well I did, and let me tell you. … KINDA disappointed. See, here’s the thing…The first 15 minutes – GREAT. The last half hour – GREAT. Everything in the middle – TRIFFILIN BORING. The story just took SOOOOO long to build up to anything. But oh well. In fairness, BDK said that make w/ the sound in the theater, the movie would really come alive. Unfortunately, the theater I was at kinda sucked, (especially the sound).
So I’M sayin…Great rental, especially with a decent home theater setup.
