What a day in the cinema! I watched War of The Worlds and Batman Begins, all for RM5 at GSC Summit USJ. One was a free ticket by GSC for my birthday and the other was discounted with a student ID.

War of the Worlds is more exciting, or rather… frightening? The movie is really good. Keeps me gasping in freight and I thought NF was scary enough. I am especially touched by Ray(Tom Cruise)’s love for his daughter. But Ray’s relationship with his teenage son, Robbie, is rather hilarious at times. Especially when Robbie asks silly questions like if the strange objects (Martians) come from Europe. I would also say that Dakota Fanning who plays Rachel, has very good acting skills.

The 2nd show was not really my cup of tea. But I am quite enthralled by the multiple flashbacks that surprisingly did not confuse me for long. And some people are right, the camera is indeed too shaky during the fighting scenes. And they should’ve chosen a more wicked looking guy to play the psychiatrist role.

Good movies overall. And lucky for me that War of the Worlds was the first movie I watched or I would be too shaken to fall asleep tonight. Yes, that’s right. War of the Worlds hit me that in some unusual cases, optimism is simply not enough to survive. And in such cases, our lives become zero in value. But Love maybe? For the love of his daughter, Ray faught all his might in order to bring Rachel to her mother in Boston.

Between watching the two movies, I went downstairs to MPH and browsed the book, War of the Worlds and I decided that I will fall asleep reading it. As for tomorrow, I’ll be in genting watching Lee Hom in awe. *jawdrop* Till then…
