I discovered Sara Bareilles thanks to a free download on iTunes. This girl is talented, and her album Little Voice is excellent. In fact, with the exception of the Foo Fighters’ latest, it’s the only album I’ve listened to on a regular basis all year. If you haven’t heard her yet, give her single “Love Song” a listen:

Disturbia
Disturbia – 3 out of 5 – I haven’t seen Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, where this thriller gets its inspiration. This movie has terror and violence – two things I normally don’t have any interest in. The opening sequence with the main character and his dad was enough to make me look away. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this movie; Shia LaBeouf is great as Kale, the teen under house arrest who occupies his time by spying on his neighbors. This brings him to suspect one of them of being a murderer. That’s where the “fun” begins.

Music and Lyrics
Music and Lyrics – 3 out of 5 – a charming “chick flick”. Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore have good chemistry, and the musical performances are actually pretty good, although I could do without Grant’s dancing.
