Joshua (2007)
Directed by: George Ratliff
Starring: Sam Rockwell, Vera Famiga, Jacob Kogan

Was watching this movie titled 'Joshua', about a bad seed with the same name.  Joshua happens to be an intelligent psycho kid whose family is rather well-off (the father's a stockbroker or something), and the movie started with the couple bringing back their newborn baby Lily. It's a case of sibling jealousy.  From there onwards, you can see the pattern of weird stuff happening - Joshua scaring the baby at night and videotaping it and also killing his grandma during a visit to a museum - and the parents only realized much later. Joshua's equally-psycho mum is forever psycho-ing in that movie, and his dad is often away. Psycho mum + Oft-away Dad equals to Psycho Kid? It's obvious that the family was well, psycho, from the start.  There's this scene where Joshua watches an old videotape of himself as an infant, recorded by his dad.  Mum was (from the looks of it) suffering from postpartum depression and keeps nagging Dad to stop filming, but Dad won't stop, resulting in having something thrown at him.

I got bored before the first 30 minutes of the movie passed, but had to stick to watching it because everyone else was doing so (was supposed to be watching 'Dirty Jobs' on Discovery Channel, one of my favorite shows).  Thumbs down for being too predictable, but I found one interesting thing: Most of the evil doings were not done explicitly (as in...you think you know Joshua did it, but you're not satisfied because you can't confirm this on the dot, because evidence either surfaces much later or is forever hidden), unlike in movies of the similar genre.  Based on my experience of watching horror/thriller movies, I won't include this movie in my "Movies To Watch When There's Nothing Else Left To Watch" list.

I end this post by quoting a reviewer:

"Watch this movie on a night when you don't think you need birth control."

A Muslim family were taken off an internal flight in the US after they were overheard having a conversation about the safest place to sit, it emerged today.

Federal authorities kicked off all eight members of the extended family and their friend after other passengers raised the alarm.

Even after they had all been cleared by the FBI of any wrongdoing, the airline - AirTran - refused to let them rebook on another flight, according to CNN. (read more by clicking here)
