A quick synopsis of recent films....

War of the Worlds. Fairly lame. I expected some good entertainment, but this movie didn't work on many levels. 1) Not of one second did I ever buy into these aliens coming to earth. Independence Day was on TV this weekend and I got caught up in the movie - because you sort of buy into the whole thing that the aliens are attacking and blowing everyone up...not so with War of the Worlds. 2) The aliens were really ineffiencent. That had to shoot every single person? If they're so smart, why not use gas or bombs or something? 3) The resolution? What a cop out...

His Girl Friday - Best romantic comedy I've ever seen. Awesome.

Network - Smarter than any movie in the past 3 years. A movie about big, political issues...they don't make 'em like this anymore.

Morvern Callar - badass, arty film. Not totally entertaining, but something awesome about Lynne Ramsay.
