As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

A kinda-sorta "found footage" flick about some high school kids who get jacked up with telekinesis, and what they do with it and how they deal with it.

I recently heard the idea that "The moral of Romeo and Juliet is that teenagers are going to have sex with each other even under the threat of death." I found that to be an interesting idea, I see some truth in it, and have contemplated what it means to be a teen in America to be so controlled by... or out of control because of, as it were, whatever desires come into their mind, hormone-fueled or otherwise.

That thought came to mind as I watched these kids, one of whom had a horrible home life, come into great power with very little self control, literally, figuratively, philosophically, and metaphorically.

All in all, not a terrible movie, if you take into consideration that you are watching children with the power of gods.

It is refreshingly liberating.
