High Energy

I was supposed to be on mandatory rest for tooth healing.
But two films in a night were too energetic for me.
It doesn't mean I was equally on an adrenaline rush as a viewer.

Gerald Butler becomes an action/thriller Hannibal Lecter, without
the Spartan heroics in "Law Abiding Citizen."

While the King of Pop is given his posthumous, oh-so-kind presentation in the
musical documentary, "This Is It."

I wonder which of the two was scarier to watch, a serial killer searching
for justice, or a dead man moonwalking?

The downer was, where's "Rock With You?" Not much from the album
"Off the Wall," I guess.

While Jaimie Foxx seems like he'll sing any moment, stuck with my
images of his "Ray" and "Dreamgirls" roles, the prosecutor was always
on defense, so his counter attack is too late, and by this time,
I was too tired.

But he will witness a mind-blowing judge, literally, instead of Jennifer Hudson's
explosive performance and plea.

I slept through some scenes from the Jackson docu. Maybe it was wrong for me
to watch it after the Butler-Foxx showdown, and it was too late at night.
The music-mentary was too repetitive for me in its flow.

Or am I sour-graping because he didn't sing "Ben", too?
That song was a Pied Piper tune inspired by the rodent and rat-filled movie,
"Willard". Jackson also did another film-inspired song, "Someone In The Dark" for "E.T."

There's more daring in Madonna's music documentary, "Truth Or Dare."

And there's more scare, and brains, too, in "Silence of the Lambs."

I should've heeded my dentist's advice, bed rest for 48 hours.

Where does wasted energy go then, now that I was a participant
to both movies?

I forgot my Physics to compute the loss in joules.
In fact, I never attended my college Physics class.
But that's another wasted energy story altogether.
