No wonder Cruise latched onto Holmes

Rating: 3/10 (4 July 2005)

After watching "War of the Worlds" on Saturday I wondered if all the talk about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes was a publicity stunt.I'd seen "Batman Begins" already with our 12 year old boy while the better half was watching our three year old.Grandma was watching both the kids on Saturday until Sunday so the better half and I could see a movie and enjoy some one on one time.Before we even saw "War of the Worlds" I told her I'd go see "Batman Begins" again because it is that good.But she bought into the hype and wanted to see "War of the Worlds".As we walked out of watching that waste of two hours piece of garbage in the theater next door was "Batman Begins".I said I'll still watch it again.So before picking up the kids on Sunday we took in "Batman Begins" and she loved it.I guess the moral to this story is that if you're like us and have few chances to take in a show together.Cut the fat, don't waste your valuable time with "War of lining your pockets", i.e. Cruise and Spielberg.All the hype created by Cruise and Spielberg is to sell a bad product.
