Best movie in years!

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2005)

I just saw "War of the Worlds" today and I have to say, it was a home run for me. Best movie I've seen in years. It's not often there comes along a movie that I want to go right back into the theater and see again that very minute. "War of the Worlds" is one of those movies.
Despite all the negative publicity around Tom Cruise, Spielberg picked him well. He carries the part beautifully as a two time loser, who is determined he won't strike out keeping his two children alive, and returning them to their mother.
The movie has terror, chills, grisly horror, and most important, the movie has heart. I'm not going to elaborate because to do so would cheat you of all the fun I experienced.
Suffice it to say if you see one film this year, make it this movie.
The movie of the year!
