A Note...

... to our loyal readers.

Guy is in Sweden, currently, and Girl is in Canada. No, we did not split up, as one of you has commented, but we do come from different sides of the world and this tends to happen when you are stupid enough to get involved in a long distance relationship.

So! To those of you who are expecting this website to be kept up to date on a regular basis (even after the fact that this has never happened so far), you will be disappointed.

But! We will try to watch the same movies, and we will try to write reviews about them at some point, then try to post those reviews on a semi-timely basis... maybe.

Some of you may call this a stilted promise, but we just call it reality. Unlike Lindsay Lohan, we have our feet planted firmly in it.

WAR OF THE WORLDS


Guy’s Spielberg!!!


Nuff said, Spielberg can make a hell of a movie. I know a bunch of people gave this movie shit. I think these people can go and jump around somewhere and talk shit to each other. The only Spielberg movie I really have had a problem with was the latest Indy movie. I don’t blame him that much though, I actually think George Lucas was the problem in creating that peace of you know what.


I watched this movie first with my father which made it a little bit more special. There’s a scene in the movie where Tom has to choose between his son and daughter. My Dad looked over at me and said “I could never do that”(I know, awwww). So needless to say the first viewing of this movie was kinda special to me and I encourage all sons and fathers to have a movie night where they sit down to watch this epic.


Guy’s Rating: Good Sci-Fi and a good moment to have a moment with your father.



Girl’s review...


I didn’t get the father son story line. The son seems angered by the fact his father hasn’t cared or been the provider for the family, then he begs his father to let him go into danger? It seemed to me that his wants were all over the place.


Also, did anyone else feel a little cheated when just all of the sudden the aliens started to die? I felt that there was a couple scenes missing where the fight between aliens and humans grew more desperate. Although the scene where Cruise kills Robbins was full of tension and definitely a climatic moment for Cruise’s character, somehow the events that followed directly after undercut those character beats. The whole grenade up the hole thing. Maybe if that had happened before the events in the cellar, it would have been more dramatic concerning characters?


Girl’s Rating: Meh. Not high on my list of things to recommend. Read the book instead.
