Disturbia

Has anybody seen Disturbia? I saw it yesterday, and to my surprise I must say I liked it.

The movie is some kind of modernized version of Hitchcock's "Rear Window" (which is one of my favourites), where a teenage boy (Shia LeBoef, the guy from "Transformers" and "Indiana Jones 4") is put on house arrest for hitting a teacher.

After spying on his neighbours he discovers a possible murder and together with his friend and his girlfriend he's trying to find out what's really going on...and so on, and so on

Although I can watch "Rear Window" several times without getting bored, I think "Disturbia" is one of those "only exciting once"-movies.

Also, I noticed Apple is making bigger moves. The main character in this movie has a MacBook Pro, just like "Dexter" and I think the geek guy from "Die Hard 4" had one as well.

I really wasn't expecting this to be anything more than eye-fodder to while away an afternoon, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and just how tense it was at the end. I may also have just a teensy thing for Shia Lebeouf which may have coloured my judgment somewhat.

SPOILER







Plus I do love a happy ending!
