"Eagle Eye" looks good

Okay, I am one of those people that doesn't mind Shai LeBeouf. Ok, "Transformers" may have been a bit cheesy, but I genuinely liked "Disturbia." The film "Eagle Eye," which comes out 9.26, looks really good. Action packed. It is done by the same people as "Disturbia."

RE: "Lakeview Terrace"

Personally, anything with Jackson is bound to be good. This is a premise that has been done before but I think the cop element is a twist. I am surprised at how much flack I am reading about there being an interracial couple! It's the 21st century people! Concentrate on the film. It looks like a good movie to me.
