David: Movies

I saw a couple of flicks this weekend.

War of the Worlds

If you haven't already read this book, you've been missing out on one of the greatest Sci-Fi masterpieces ever. This film does a great job of bringing the story to a contemporary setting, and is the first film in years to actually scare me, or at least really unnerve me. The tripods are just damn creepy, and the sound they make brings you to the edge of your seat. I think that this is a movie that's going to lose a lot on the TV screen, as the sense of scale will be greatly diminished. If you have the time and scratch, get to the theatre to see this.

Batman Begins

Finally! A Batman movie that resembles Batman! While it's not perfect, this movie finally makes Batman real. No overly gothic Burton or overly campy Shumaker, but just a good solid film that sticks to its source. Go check it out.

I got to catch the IMAX version of Batman, and it's the first time I've seen a movie IMAX style. Wow.

I must say that the previews for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory have got me very interested. Gene Wilder's creepy Mr. Wonka will be a tough act to follow, though.
