CHRONICLE, PG-13 ( 1 hr & 24 min )

Quickie Review:  An introvert, his cousin, and their schoolmate happen upon a mysterious glowing object at the bottom of a tunnel.  For some unknown reason, the object somehow gives each of them the power of Telekinesis which develops exponentially.  But with this superpower comes super responsibility, something that none of them anticipated nor are prepared to handle.

The audience liked it.  It played well for its target audience:  Teens.

I liked it, too.  I really thought that it was going to be just another stupid movie. But the second half got my attention.  Go see this if you're into Teen Action/Coming-of-Age Movies with a supernatural twist.

Here are the things that I found wrong in this movie:  First thing, they could have come up with a better movie poster!  The Yard Lines on the Football Field were really uneven--like some f--king idiot didn't know how to measure with a Yardstick!  Didn't his father have a key to his bedroom door?  The hood of a jacket is not gonna stay put on someone's head for long if that someone is flying in the air at fast speed.  And that guy's jacket should have ballooned-up as he flew through the air. I can't believe that none of them sang, "I Believe I Can Fly," an R. Kelly song.  This is yet another movie in which the Black Guy is the first one to get himself killed!   Those three teeth were pulled from across the hallway, not downwards; so, the bully should have been yanked forward instead of straight down.  Believe me, you have to be strong to pull-out healthy teeth--some dentists can't even pull-out bad teeth because they are not strong enough ( Trust me, I know since I have it on good authority! ).  That loud, heated argument that he had with his cousin in his bedroom should have been heard by his parents.  When he landed in front of one of the four thugs that he was after, the asphalt on the road cracked--it shouldn't have happened because he was not that heavy nor did he descend from a high altitude.  Why was there a home movie camera at the foot of his hospital bed since we all know that he didn't put it there himself?  After the explosion in the hospital room, what happened to the policemen posted to stand watch outside the room?  Why did he take so long to drop his dad after the explosion?  A man falling down while his nephew is flying up to catch him in mid-air is like a head-on collision, Physics-wise: A very bad idea. Why was the girl documenting her own near-death experience, holding the video camera steadily the way that she did, instead of flailing her arms helplessly around? He had the power of Telekinesis, which has nothing to do with cutting metal objects cleanly in half; in other words, he could only have telekinetically-pulled the spear out of the statue's hand and neither had been able to cut-off the arm first nor simultaneously, for that matter.
