Went to see War of the Worlds last night. I'm not going to spoil it for you, but I will tell you that it an interesting theory and was pretty intense at times. It was guys night out for my small group guys. We went to the Colossus where I was able to eat a Whopper, enjoy the movie, and if I wanted to, go upstairs and enjoy a cold beer before teh movie...I love Canada.
I also saw a preview for the Chronicles of Narnia and King Kong. Those are two movies that I'm pretty excited for. I hope that it's not one of those movies that are filled with special effects and no plot. When I went to see "the day after tomorrow", I left thinking, "great special effects, but why did it seem like I just saw 'Left Behind' for the environment? and why do the hippies continue to hound my use of Aqua Net aerosol hair spray cans???"
I sometimes hate when this happens in movies. Sum41 said it best on their first album title, 'All Killer and no filler'. Where's the beef? Where is teh part beyond all of the cool special effects? Where is the part of the movie that will leave me scratching my head or looking over my shoulder making sure that the aliens aren't going to abduct me and anal probe me? I love and miss those movies.

I saw WOTW last night and was disappointed. While it met my expectations of a mindless action blockbuster, I assumed there would be fewer gaping holes in the plot. Lisette and I found ourselves laughing more than anything during the movie -- it was very (unintentionally) silly at times. Spielberg seems to be losing his creative touch as the years go by.
(Kong does look cool, though.)
