After hitting his Spanish teacher, seventeen year-old Kale (Shia Labouf) is sentenced to three months of house arrest and must wear an ankle bracelet to make sure he stays put.
After Mom (Carrie Ann-Moss) literally cuts the cord to other forms of diversion, Kale begins watching his neighbors. The cute new girl (Sarah Roemer) that just moved in the house next door gets most of his attention, but Kale also begins to notice strange happenings at the nearby home of Mr. Turner (David Morse.)
LaBouf's Kale doesn't quite measure up to the standard set by Jimmy Stewart so many years before and the frenetic pace of the film can be annoying. but "Disturbia is still a somewhat entertaining re-telling of "Rear Window" complete with bathroom humor, close-up shots of female rear-ends, and the inevitable use of cell phones and personal computers as plot devices.

I recently watched "Starship Troopers" on TV and I couldn't decide if the movie was promoting or criticizing fascism. The Orwellian world government of Starship Troopers has very little of the daily misery that Winston Smith endured. All of the characters of the film look healthy, attractive, and even happy.
Yes, there is a great deal of gore in the movie, but the violence is portrayed as fun and glorious rather than senseless and tragic.There are also a few moments of genuine satire, but overall Starship Troopers comes off as a 1990s version of the pro-military movies of the preceding decade.
