Twinkie Tower

3.5 Stars

After his father's death, Kale (Shia LaBeouf) becomes sullen, withdrawn, and troubled -- so much so that he finds himself under a court-ordered sentence of house arrest. His mother, Julie (Carrie-Anne Moss), works night and day to support herself and her son, only to be met with indifference and lethargy. The walls of his house begin to close in on Kale. He becomes a voyeur as his interests turn outside the windows of his suburban home towards those of his neighbors, one of which Kale begins to suspect is a serial killer. But, are his suspicions merely the product of cabin fever and his overactive imagination?

Some predicted this to be a typical teen flick, but it became much more. It has been number 1 for a few weeks now and I see it staying there until Spiderman 3 releases. Shia was pretty impressive in this film. If some of you don't remember him he was in Holes, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, I Robot, Constantine & Bobby. He will also be starring in the upcoming blockbuster, Transformers. This is a movie I definately recommend folks to check out especially if you like suspense or thriller.

Other actors are David Morse (12 Monkeys & The Green Mile), Sarah Roemer (Asylm & Grudge 2) & Jose Pablo Cantillo (Manchurian Candidate & Crank).
