This is a unique movie. It's about a kid that's troubled for no obvious reason. Parents seem nice, siblings are well adjusted..... yet the brother is getting arrested, and threatening to burn the house down. I'd guess most of us knew a kid like this, when we were young... so it's an interesting premise for a movie.

This family dynamic is autobiographical. I guess through this movie the director is trying to put together the pieces of what happened in a different time-- a couple decades ago. I won't say what does happen, but it's a lot to witness as a child.

At first the story is witnessed through the eyes of a small child, then we cut to her as an adult... making this film about her brother and family. It's an interesting premise... that was a little confusing. There's time shifts and characters that look a lot alike, but that doesn't ruin it at all.

I liked Screen X more than I thought I would. It was cool and fun for the Michael Jackson movie.

It's basically three huge screens. Some scenes don't utilize the side screens. Other scenes stretch the picture to fit the side screens. I guess someone has to edit the movies and make these decisions.

The light from the side screens has a really cool way of lighting up the theater and making you feel more like you're there. I don't feel like it's vital to sit in the center, but I would not sit too close to the screen in front.

The sound is good too... better than a regular theater. I don't know if this new format will drive crowds to theaters.... but it's worth trying out as an a-list-er
