They are finally here! D'oh!
Simpsons fans can now rest easy. After like an eternity of waiting, our favorite family from Springfield has finally arrived on the big screen. (Yes, with loads of laughter, wit and sarcasm in tow).
I hope I need not do any introduction on the family (if I must, then please click on the extreme right corner for PC users and the extreme left corner for Mac users). So let me go to the story straight.
Springfield is on the verge of an environment meltdown and just when things are starting to look up, Homer (of course its Homer, who else?) puts the future of Springfield on the line with his selfish act. Can he redeem himself and save Springfield? Or will he fry Springfield like a piece of donut?
Though not as tight as a regular episode, The Simpsons easily make the audiences laugh hysterically with their straight talking and no holds barred sense of humor.With a good mixture of crass and intelligent humor, this movie justifies the admission ticket.
Snacks to be consumed while watching: Donuts, what else?

Disturbia (2007)
There is a voyeur in all of us
You feel bored at home. You don't want to do your work. You are sick of watching the re runs on TV. You light up your cigarette and stare outside the window. Then, a moment of eureka. Who needs TV when you have so many families 'playing' out their daily lives for you? This is reality without the TV and this is happening around you.
What if you witness something sinister?
Something dark, something dangerous. What if you see murder?
What if...
What if the killer is staring back at you?
What would you do?
Shia LaBeouf (Transformers) stars as Kale, a student under house arrest after punching the living daylights out of his Spanish teacher. With nothing to do at home and all of his favorite activities being restricted by the law and his mum (Carrie-Anne Moss, The Matrix), he resorts to voyeurism. After a few days of surveillance, he suspects one of his neighbor, Mr. Turner (David Morse, 16 Blocks), is a wanted serial killer. His suspicion heightened after a chain of events led Kale to believe that Mr. Turner is indeed the serial killer. Is it a case of paranoia or is it the truth?
Another teen slasher movie? Not quite. Disturbia cleverly mixes voyeurism and the sense of helplessness. A good plot and cast adds credibility to this movie. With suspense at every corner, you might just want to give up your hobby of looking at the opposite apartment already.
