War of the Worlds is horrendously bad. Don't go see it. Especially the ending. There are, at times, moments where you do feel a little bit horrified by what's happening to the poor people on screen. But they are only moments and they are fleeting. I didn't feel anything at all for the major characters (in fact, they're so shallow you can barely call them characters), I didn't understand why they made certain decisions (especially in regards to Cruise's son) and didn't really give a hoot whether they lived or died. What was with the whole scene under the house with the fight between Cruise and whoever that other guy was. Was the resolution of that scene supposed to be dramatic? Was it supposed to be moving in an Oh-my-goodness-he-didn't-did-he-oh-he-did-the-poor-guy-now-look-at-his-internal-struggle-oh-wait-that's-just-Tom's-usual-face kind of way? And the ending? Wow. It's like someone in the studio said "right, this movie is getting a bit expensive now, so how can we kill off all the bad guys and end it really quickly?" It was like, they're fighting and humans are dying and buildings are blowing up and planes are shooting missiles and then in the very next scene, the next shot, the bad guys are all dead. Shit. Pure shit.
In fact, the movie has almost spoilt my day, and it was going so well.
I did, however, have a really nice hot chocolate at a little cafe before I saw the movie. It was in a tall mug, had about an inche of froth, a shake of cocoa powder, and some shaved chocolate on top. Uh! So nice. It was the shaved chocolate the made it. And it was a good temperature too. I'll defintely be having hot chocolates at that cafe again.
Bought a new pair of runners today too. Cost me ninety bucks but worth it. I only have two pair of shoes (work and skate) and they're both starting to wear out. I'll get new work shoes soon.
Had more to write but I'm so pissed off about wasting eleven bucks on a shit movie that I can't remember what it was I had wanted to write.
