Me my self am a huge movie buff, but I have never been into TV. The only thing I watch on TV is comedies, Seinfield, Simpsons, Family Guy, etc. But I have never liked any of the dramas. Alias, 24, Buffy, X-Files. None of them have really been that good, I have never liked TV in that sense. Well a while ago my cousin told me about "Lost" I laughed, but I had heard nothing but rave reviews. So I decided to get the DVD set for the hell of it. And it was the best purchase I think I had ever made in my life. This show is absoulutley incredible on every single level. The acting, SFX, set's, characters and most of all the twisting story.
Oddly enough though it may not seem like it this is one of the scariest pieces of work I have ever seen. I feel like I am one of the survivors and I am as clueless as they are. So you feel that sense of panic. I mean from the first show, you just get hooked. And it only gets better and better.
I mean I figured after a while the show would get boring after seeing like 19 hours pure of it. But not at all I only became more hungry. I can't wait for the second season to start. *Actually starts on my birthday which is cool* I mean by the end of the show me and an entire group of friends were so addicted to it, we sat there and just talked for hours and hours about what it could be. We all loved certain characters, we loved them all but some more then others. My favorites were Shannon, and Locke.
Surprisingly, the music is superb in this show, I figured it would be lame, but man it gives me goosebumps. I mean just seeing the opening "Lost" title just gets my spine tingleing. It is that intense.
All I'm going to say is if you hate TV, you will love this, If you love TV you will love this. It does not matter what you like, you will love "Lost" Season 2 can't come soon enough.

Man, talk about one hell of a year. 2005 will go down in history in my book. Movies have been blowing me out of my seat. First being a long time fan of Sin City, they made an extraordinary movie off of it. Then Star Wars finally had a movie to be really proud of since Empire Stirkes Back. Then Batman Begins became one of my fav films, just due to its deepness. And now War of the Worlds based off of one of my favorite books just blew me away.
First people complaining about the ending, shut up. This stays faithful to the book and is more realistic, and finally something fresh and different instead of one man going in there and killing all the Aliens with his two hands. I think this was more interesting.
The movie focuses just on one family, and the struggles, it really makes you think, what would I do if aliens invaded the world tomorrow? What would happen? Where would I go? What would I do? This movie makes you think a lot, it is really deep and meaningful. It to me seems like Saving Private Ryan mixed with Jurassic Park, a true dramatic sci-fi. I'm tired of all the Tom Cruise stuff. Who cares if he's a nut in real life, his acting was wonderful in this movie and it sucked you in.
And the SFX was incredible with the short amount of time they had to finish them. And as for John Williams do I need say more? His score was superb.
This movie is a must see Final Score: 94% Highs: A dramatic deep remake of the original alien invasion story.
Lows: The ending to some was a letdown, the only thing I found wrong with the ending was a little bit of the pacing, other then that it was good and different.
Bottom Line: One of the best Sci-Fi's ever made.

Rarley anymore can I be pleasantly surprised when I leave a theater, but lets cut to the chase I came out very happy with Batman Begins. During a lot of my childhood I watched Burtons versions, as well the horrible last two Batman movies. But I remembered I never liked them, not even Burtons, they seemed to flaky, Burton's Batman seemed like a circus, and the others were just plain horrible.
But finally out of no where WB decides to re-start Batman give him a clean slate, and boy, did they start off on the right foot. Batman Begins is an excellent movie from start to finish. The story engrosses you and it focuses mainly on Bruce Wayne's inner struggle, how he becomes fear to destroy it. The acting was well done and the directing was superb.
Now some complained about the fighting scenes, I thought they were great, when you are in a REAL fight not everything is choreographed and smooth, it is very rough and gritty that is what Nolan brought to Batman I think.
I felt that Zimmer and Howards score was better then Elfman's. Though Elfman is a superb composer his theme fit a more "circus Batman" the new theme *Sounds like bat wings flapping* is just creepy, and it's kinda like Jaws theme where it gets closer and closer. It represents Bruce Wayne's anger throbbing, getting stronger.
The only nit pick I had about it was that it seemed almost that they had too much condensed into 141 minutes, minus the 9 minutes of end credits you have a two hour and 12 minute movie. But I feel that they should of stayed on some scenes a little longer, but hey maybe we will see an extended Batman Begins some day.
But hands down this is one of the best films this year, actually one of the best in many years it is now in my list of favorites. Batman Begins is excellent.
