War of the World. Huh?

The lights were turned up as I went "Huh?". What a disappointment for a Steven Spielberg's production. The story is so incomplete. Don't understand why do they have to bring God in for such Sci Fi show. I sat thru the movie, waiting and anticipating the climax. And I went "Huh?", I probably missed it or it was chopped at the editor's room. I don't know why the aliens want to attack Earth. I don't really know why they fail. And for a smart, technically advanced alien, their way of attack isn't really impressive or sophiticated. I was reminded of Mars Attack.

Loop holes everywhere. Sigh.. such a disappointment. [-( Stars? 1 for the effort. 1 for the actors. 1 for the director.

Give me H2G2 anytime!

Coming soon....

War of the Worlds, Fantastic Four, Sin City (really looking forward to this one).

Batman Begins

It's a great fantasy movie made so far. It is very realistic that it almost didn't feel like a marvel movie. The new batman acts pretty well too. Looks better then his predecessors (except George Clooney but he was a flop).

Finally we know what made Bruce Wyane into Batman. The movie did not leave a ? or any unexplained details. (I think.) It is exciting as well. And it feels good to see righteous deeds. This is definitely a must-see. I gives it 6 out of 5 stars.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Caught the show yesterday (my birthday :D ) night, mainly cos my wife kept asking me what I wanted to do on for bday (we were both on leave) and I couldn;t think of anything I really wanted to do.

Ok, anyway back to the show, I've had the book for like a gazillion years but never got around to finishing it. I stopped roughly around the part where the president steals the heart of gold.

The show was funny (to me at least) with the typical british wit but I found it kinda...compressed, for lack of a better word. It almost feels like the script was too long and they cut stuff out at random... or maybe I'm just getting slow.

I think I'll go finish reading the book so I know whats happening.

All in all, 3 out of 5 stars just for the laughs.
