War of the Worlds
This was a pretty good movie. I actually thought it was a good scare. At first, I didn't want to see it since (due to my job) I think Tom Cruise is full of crap when it comes to his views on psychiatry and medicine. But, then again, I like Speilberg and I almost always like Cruise's movies, so I gave in and went. Not as good as Batman Begins, but a scary good movie.

Have you seen the original "War of the Worlds"? I watched it with my mom awhile back when it appeared on AMC. I don't remember too much of it, but the ending was memorable.
I'm not a big Tom Cruise fan either, so it'll take a lot for me to go to the theatre and see that. Are the special effects impressive? I might see it for those reasons.
Aside from his recent weirdness, I just don't think Mr. Cruise is that great of an actor. If I see movies with him in it, it's usually because someone or something else in the movie has peaked my interest.
The special effects were very good. They didn't detract from the story, with decent characters put into unique situations. I haven't seen the original - so I'll have to check into it. I think this one did over $100 million this weekend, but for most movies - I tend to wait for the DVD or even cable. If you get a chance - go see this one, but if you don't, wait for the DVD. I think I'd rather have seen Fantastic Four, but that's not out for another week.
