Phone Booth

I went to Southpoint ("Southpoint - Where people come to wear the clothes they bought at Southpoint") to see Phone Booth today, and I'm really glad that I did. It nearly slipped under my radar, but I felt like seeing a movie, and it was the only one at the megaplex that piqued my interest.

Many of the reviews of the movie describe it as "taut", and that's the perfect word for it. It's only 80 minutes long, but that's exactly the right length. Too many movies today take an interesting kernel of a premise and try to stretch it way too far. Phone Booth knows its plot is a one trick pony, executes well, and then ends. I highly recommend the movie, but you had better hurry: Finding Nemo, et. al. will likely push it out of theaters next week.
