I can't think of a director who made two very different movies that were so damn good.

Sarah Paulson may go by "Sally" but I've never heard that. Maybe gromit and she are closer than we knew.

...But now a film has come along which really is the best so far. Disconnect is an instant classic and the finest movie yet about the internet and the way it affects our lives. It's a horror story of sorts, with three overlapping stories telling terrifying tales about things that can happen in the cyber age. A great cast including Jason Bateman, Hope Davis, and many other less well-known but equally astute actors (notably Frank Grillo and Alexander Skarsgard) are directed brilliantly in his fiction film debut by documentarian Henry Alex Rubin (Murderball), and the result is a movie that will be talked about for years.

Don't want to discuss the story details because you should experience it clean. Just plunge in. You won't be sorry.

I'm noticing that some early reviews of the movie are bashing it for being unsubtle. This is true, but despite a few melodramatic excesses, the film has a cumulative power which leaves the audience shaken and moved. Far from complaining, I can scarcely wait to see Disconnect again.

Billy - he did, in many ways, show tough love. But there's a scene where he is micromanaging the kid and sort of showing off how alert and vigilant he is. The kid is putting leftovers away in the kitchen, and Dad is anticipating every error - it wasn't bad parenting, but I thought the scene showed how maybe he (Dad) was trying too hard to maintain control. He is always showing off his X-Ray vision, e.g. are they actually doing homework, aha, but rarely just asking the kid how it's going. Admittedly, parenting is a delicate balance between control and letting it go....really, I'm just saying Grillo does a great job showing the struggle.
