War of the Worlds (2005) - 2.5/5

War of the Worlds (2005) - terrifying. Extremely intense. Well told action w/ good characters and story.


WARNING Spoilers below:



I felt pretty cheated that the son was really alive. I assume they filmed that or added that based on audience reaction b/c they seemed to go out of their way earlier to show that he was certainly dead.

Mo picked up a good 'goof' - why when they are looking at that first hole did a man have a working camcorder? Everything wasn't working at that point.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) - 2/5

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) better than I expected. A difficult task to translate this book to a movie, but I believe it was originally a radio drama so using those techniques might help. My expectations were pretty low so I wasn't disappointed. Based on that, I liked it.

State and Main (2000) - 4/5

State and Main (2000) - well done. Well written and clever. I wonder just how clever it really is.

Like when the director makes the girl take her shirt off and you don't see anything except his (lack of) reaction. Also, the name "State and Main" how it relates to the movie w/in the movie.

It's about purity. The characters seem to be personifications of character traits almost.

Strong dialogue. Great characters. Excellent story.

Finding Neverland (2004) - 3.5/5

Finding Neverland
(2004) - great movie. Imagination required. Quite sad at times, but w hope.
