Disturbia . . . . A Review

I had the privilege exactly one week ago today to see the much anticipated movie Disturbia one day before it's release. The following is the story of that event:

So I received an email from my friend with a print out for two free movie tickets to see Disturbia the night before it opened. I was eager with anticipation. Disturbia as you all well know stars lovable actor Shia LaBeouf, who starred in my favorite TV series Boy Meets World. His first major film role was based on one of my favorite books 'Holes'.

We arrived to the theatre in anticipation and excitement one hour before the showing. A long line had formed, and I was amazed at the caliber of people who would be attending this free event along my side. Evidently the homeless community is well connected to the interweb, because it would appear that many of them also received free tickets in their inbox as well.

The doors were opened and the seats were quickly filled. Luckily the movie that was supposed to start at 7:00 didn't begin until 7:30, because the host of the event z90 had some fun contests for the audience to participate in. My anxious desire to win a free pizza caused me to enter the 'best scream' contest. My competition ended up being a 12 year old girl, who played the sympathy vote more than Chris Richardson did on American Idol this week. I could see Simon's eyes rolling as the audience got caught up in her youthful charm. Anyways long story short, I took second place in the contest, even though the guy sitting behind me told me I got jipped when I sat back down. I didn't win the Pizza, but I did take home an awesome transformers Movie T-shirt, which I am donning at this very moment. I soon realized that the Pizza would have only brought me temporary happiness, but this T-Shirt will be around for years to come.


Anyways on to the movie. I give this movie 2.5 stars. I was entertained, but I won't be anxiously waiting to see the movie again. The thrilling scenes were for the most part thrilling, but the rest of the story was just a little too sappy for me. I did enjoy the fact that an iMac had a key role in the film along with iMovie. One thing that did stick out to me was towards the end I began to feel like I had seen this movie before. I soon realized that the movie felt a lot like the movie 'Red Eye' starring Rachel McAdams. Of course it didn't take place on a plane, or involve a lacrosse stick, but it too was a thriller with a chase scene in a house at the end. Now that I am writing this I realize that it isn't like Red Eye at all, but that I just think Rachel McAdams is hot and deserves some time on my blog.

In summary (for those of you still reading), go and see Disturbia since it is still entertaining, and then go and rent 'Red Eye'. Thanks you for your readership.

What 2 Tip

I paid $25 for a haircut yesterday. I really don't know why. I have been in withdrawl of my hair stylist in Salt Lake 'Jini' at Salon Heatherwood. No one seems to cut my hair, give me a shampoo head massage, clean out my ear hair, or trim my eyebrows quite like she does. I had been to Great Clips a couple of times and just wasn't quite satisfied, so I decided to try this Salon next to my house. I ended up getting the exact same 'Great Clips' haircut for almost $20 more. Due to some payment confusion and my sticker shock at the price I failed to leave a tip (really was an accident). However it got me thinking about what kind of tip we should leave in different situations. Honestly other than tipping 15-20% at restaurants I always feel like I am guessing. I decided to turn to my friend the interweb to answer this question. I found this very useful site: www.what2tip.com. I am now fully satisfied that I finally know what to tip my clown and what to tip at a funeral. I hope you find it as useful as I have.

Senor De La Jolla

As many of you have heard through various media outlets Judd and I recently competed head to head in a prestigious Man Pageant. It is known as Senor De La Jolla. Judd walked away with the crown, but more importanly he captured our hearts. We were pretty impressed with our performances so we thought that we should share them with the blogging community. As you watch the videos you can wonder, as we constantly do, why we are still single. Enjoy!
