"War of the Worlds"...Just saw it

Do NOT bring the kids to see this. It is way, way too intense for kids. I mean kids under 13!

It's not the typical ' Aliens invade the Earth ' stuff so be warned. It is really, really suspenseful and has some horror scenes of mass murder that were a bit too intense for me and I thought I had seen it all.

I thought it would suck easter eggs but I was wrong. No it's not the same as the classic 'War of the Worlds' but it does have that constant, constant suspense and lurking terror.

It's more like it should be titled " Everything Else Happens When You Deal With Your Ex Wife, Why Not Have Aliens Invade Too! "

For all it's faults, and there are 'some', it makes up with Spielberg's direction. The screenplay is weak but the production values, acting, costumes, everything is super top knotched. It is well worth the two hours of spooky house ride you get.

Good popcorn summer scary stuff for sure.

The aliens look like they fell off the truck of "Independence Day" so that's my biggest beef. They even shot scenes in my hometown area so that was bugout shit to me, but I mean it. It's too intense for kids. Real family, life/death issues here.

Oh, and you get to see the trailer for the new "King Kong" movie and the trailer is:

OFF THE MOTHERFUCKING HOOK!

That King Kong movie looks like it's going to be the biggest movie if the year, I mean it. It fucking looks awesome and with Peter "Lord of the Rings" Jackson directing you know it's gotta be good. I can't fucking wait for the new Kong. I can't wait!
