Disturbia
Shia LaBeouf

3.5/5

After his father’s accidental death, Kale (Shia LaBeouf) remains withdrawn and troubled. When he lashes out at a well-intentioned but insensitive teacher, he finds himself under a court-ordered house arrest.
His interests turn outside the windows of his suburban home toward those of his neighbors, including a mutual attraction to the new girl next door (Sarah Roemer). Together, they begin to suspect that another neighbor is a serial killer.

I must say, i was expecting a LITTLE more from this.......from the trailers i kinda had an idea of what type of movie i was in for, and now that i finally saw it, i guess my expectations where right. Don't get me wrong, my expectations were fine........but, everyone around me seemed to be telling me how fantastic the movie was and how thrilling it is...........and even though i did enjoy it, it really didn't give me the ORGASMIC JOLTS i expected it to.

Anyway, other then THAT i did like it.......good thriller, high point of the movie? Mr. Shia LeBouf [or however the fuck you spell it], i like watching Shia, he's a good actor, very natural, very charismatic and pretty cute too. The rest of the cast do a good job also, although his Asian friend was a bit annoying, it was good seeing Carrie Ann Moss in something new as well.

I haven't seen Rear Window [which the movie it's loosely based on], so i can't really compare the two, but as a stand alone film, it was well done.



Flashdance
Jennifer Beals
5/5


Jennifer Beals holds down a macho job as a welder by day, but performs erotic dance numbers in a club at night. It's not a strip club, so her morality remains intact. She sets out to follow her dream of becoming a professional dancer, finding love along the way.

For me, the one movie that is the EPITOME of the 80's, is FLASHDANCE! oh how i remember those days, long ago when i was a little boy, pulling my parents Flashdance VHS out of the cupboard and watching it over and over.
It's a great movie to re-visit and one of those films you can watch over and over. It was one of the first movies to be completely be aimed at the MTV generation back in the day, so......because of that we aren't really getting anything too deep and complex...........BUT.......where the movie lacks in story it makes up in great songs, great dancing and best of all........great casting.
Jennifer Beals was PERFECT in this, her face, the way she delivers the character is so simple but so sweet.........she's VERY likable in the role and really gives the movie something special.

An 80's classic and one of my all time favourites.

Jesus Camp
Starring some freaky ass kids
4/5


In the summer, Evangelist Christian kids travel to Becky Fischer's "Kids on Fire" summer camp in Devil's Lake, N.D., to intensify their devotion to the Lord. This documentary follows three kids and what they experience there.

JESUS INDEED!..................fucking hell, where do i START with this disturbing MESS!.............Firstly, i went into this ready to laugh my ass off, because let's face it..........Christians are pathetically amusing, especially the "hallelujah" types.............anyway..........i certainly WAS giggling in some parts, but for most of this documentary i was so disturbed and SHOCKED by some of the things i saw, i pretty much spent most of the film with a straight stunned face OR my mouth literally falling open!
What was intended to be an amusing 80 minutes turned out to be a pretty fucked up and twisted display of "faith" and "preaching".

Ok.......so........let's talk about SOME of the more........"entertaining" scenes that stuck out the most, firstly.............the tribal dancing! yes, that's right, TRIBAL DANCING!...........a few kids get together in front of an audience, they paint their faces, hold giant sticks and thrust their bodies and smack the sticks together to the beat of Christian music, they do all this with the audience crying and screaming with their arms up in the air, some kids even fall to the floor and have........i guess what i'd call.........SPASTIC FITS! but they like to call them........."visions", lol.............basically, they are all fucking nuts.

Secondly, the praying to a life size cardboard cut out of George Bush...............what! the fuck! was THISSSSS?................the children are advised to PREACH and SEND THEIR POWER to Mr. Bush so he may gather the strength to "FIGHT THE EVIL" in this world, for the most part i was laughing............until the camera did a creepy pan into the cardboard face which just looked too freaky and i got scared.

Thirdly, the scene where they discuss Harry Potter.............OH LAWD GIVE ME STRENGTH! the children are taught about how "no matter how good you are, if you are a warlock, you are AGAINST GODS WILL and you are EVIL".............so, basically, if they read Harry Potter, they are going to hell. In other words, they're all fucking nuts.

Fourthly, there is a scene where the fat ass people who ran the camp gather together before camp begins and they PRAY onto the chairs, the building, the computer, the power point display machine, the heater, the lights, the floor.................and the reason they do this?......."because the DEVIL knows what to do to stop these types of gatherings, he will destroy the lights and the power point machine to STOP the word of God"............................riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

The fifth and final thing which probably made me laugh the most was this FUCKING WEIRD thing they did where they would pray so hard that they would all scream "NOW, WE PRAY IN TONGUES" and they all gather together and scream "jeeefa kamaothma ghetmagothetha sdkgjbhkdgbjdfsg"...............LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!............it is SO ridiculous, i have NO IDEA how people don't burst out in laughter watching such a pathetic display of idiocy! i know i sure as fuck did.

This whole thing TRULY has to be seen to be believed, it's absolutely TERRIFYING that these are the types of people who are advisers to the U.S President and these people want "our children to DIE for Christ like the Muslim kids die for Islam".
The brain washing, the cultism, the UNEDUCATED opinions and BLIND FOLLOWING of all the people involved was TRULY horrifying to watch, at times i was left SPEECHLESS.

Highly recommended!...................seriously, see it, it's FUCKED! lol.
