Movie Review...War of the Worlds!

[DT4EMS]

Has anyone else seen this? The special effects were awesome! It is the first movie I have watched in a while that made me jump. It sucks you into the plot. You feel helpless and your heart pounds.

I just think it was a very entertaining movie.

Well unfortunately I dispise Tom Cruise. My mother in law and my brother have gone to see it. They said it was really good, but not a buyer. I have no desire to see it (I love Sci-fi but very particular about it). My husband wants to so I know I'll get stuck watching it anyway. I'm dying to see The Constable, now that looks awesome.

I liked the original better.

I guess I have been a little busy at work, because I have heard several people saying Cruise has lost it.

I caught a snip on the news that he was saying something about Brooke Shields and Scientology but that's it. I still liked the movie.

Nope, don't go to movies in the theaters. I wait for them to come to satellite. Cheaper that way.

He basically came out and said that psychiatry and antidepressant medications are all a hoax and that Brooke was wrong to take them to treat her postpartum depression (an experience she's written a book about). Scientology takes a very strong stand against the entire field of psychiatry (going back to L. Ron Hubbard's personal beliefs on the matter).

This was part of what Cruise said:

""Psychiatry is a pseudo science. She (Shields) doesn't understand the history of psychiatry. She doesn't understand in the same way that you don't understand it, Matt (Lauer). You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do."

Of course, I liked her response:

"While Mr. Cruise says that Mr. Lauer and I do not 'understand the history of psychiatry,' I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Mr. Cruise has never suffered from postpartum depression."

And just to add...haven't seen it yet either and not sure I'll get a chance to see it in the theatres, but will probably rent it if I don't. We don't get to many movies anymore with the baby, but the in-laws will be visiting next week and we may take advantage of the free babysitting.
