ClosingBracket

A couple days ago I checked out War of the World’s from the local branch of the library. (I am too cheap to rent from a video store or use some fancy pants Net Flix.)

Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Tom Cruise

I remember people panning this movie and I thought I would to but then I really enhored it. Besides the aliens, the movie doesn’t really match the book but that didn’t matter. The action was good (good action means less need for acting) and the special effects were believable. It really seemed like that’s how it would be if such a war. Some parts really put me in the moment.

Still, there is cheese but you can get past it. It’s a recommended rental.

I saw Eragon last night. The reviews canned the movie but I found it to be fantastic! It’s along the same lines of Narnia so if you liked that movie (which I did) you won’t be dissapointed. It’s the classec movie where a young teen is picked to become the hero of the day against the ruthless authority figures ravaging the land. Not much in plot development since the hero is thrust into his power but the story fun all the same.

My view, if you liked Narnia see this movie. If you are looking for an epic like Lor of the Rings you may be dissapointed.
