DISTURBIA
Release Date: August 7
Starring: Shia LeBeouf, David Morse, Sarah Roemer
Director: D.J. Caruso
Length: 104 minutes
I can admit when I’m wrong. A few months ago, I voiced my disapproval of Shia LeBeouf being cast in the fourth Indiana Jones movie. But after seeing “Transformers” and now “Disturbia,” I feel confident that LeBeouf won’t ruin the upcoming Indy movie. That job will be solely George Lucas‘s. LeBeouf, as he did in “Transformers,” turns in a great performance in “Disturbia,” an update of Alfred Hitchcock‘s “Rear Window.” LeBeouf plays Kale, a troubled teen under house arrest who suspects his neighbor (David Morse) is a serial killer. What is refreshing about “Disturbia” is that it doesn’t rip-off or insult “Rear Window”; it takes the 1954 movie in a new and exciting direction. And though the phrase is often used to describe thrillers, “Disturbia” truly “kept me on the edge of my seat.” It’s a first-grade thriller. Definitely worth checking out.
DVD GOODIES
Commentary by director and cast, deleted scenes, making-of featurette, serial pursuit trivia pop-up quiz, outtakes, and the music video of “Don’t Make Me Wait.”
THE MONSTER SQUAD “The Monster Squad” is back in this two-disc 20th anniversary DVD. The 1987 cult movie, on DVD for the first time, follows a group of kids who battle Dracula, the Frankenstein Monster, the Wolfman, and the Gillman. After all these years, “The Monster Squad” has been pretty much forgotten, but the movie holds up pretty well. It may be only second to “The Goonies” when it comes to kiddie adventure movies of the ’80s. Bonus material includes a five-part retrospective and a conversation with the Frankenstein monster. | $14.99
THE NUMBER 23 Jim Carrey stars as a man obsessed with a book that seems to parallel his life. Directed by Joel Schumacher. | $16.99
PERFUME Based on the best-selling book about a serial killer who hunts victims with his superhuman sense of smell. | 19.99
ZODIAC See Blogzarro’s review here. | $17.99

I‘ve spent many a night imagining what I would look like as a Simpsons character. Now, through the magic of the Internet, I no longer have to dream. That’s lil’ ol’ me in front of Springfield Elementary School. Oddly enough, I look exactly like that in real life, which makes me wonder why I spent so much time imagining what I’d look like if I was a resident of Springfield. Maybe it has something to do with the seductive Edna Krabappel.
So, now you’re asking, How did you get that illustration? How much did you have to pay? Did you have to threaten Matt Groening’s family? Actually I didn’t do any of those things. I simply headed over to simpsonizeme.com, where I uploaded a photo of myself and — voila — I became a Simpsons character (with some minor edits)…kinda like Homer’s younger, better-looking brother. Now, I’m trying to figure a way to get myself in “The Simpsons Movie 2.” Keep your three fingers crossed! (more…)
