Joyce Kilhawik (sp?), of Boston's channel four news says the movie works 99 per cent for her, terrifying, great effects, but the ending is ludicrous, and the audience laughed outright. Writing in last scene is dreadful. Gross miscalculation. She's very disappointed.
Yeah, across the Mexican border.
I think that Batman will make Bale a major star, too. Apparently he has very loyal fans who call themselves "Baleheads".
He was great in American Psycho ! Nerdy, scary , hunky and funny.
Jeez---there have been so many batman movies! I'm waiting for the one that's called 'BATMAN LEAVES.'

So did you pick up on the political subtext that some are seeing in the film? I think O'Reilly was going to mention something about this on his show today. The word is that Spielberg is insinuating that we should just roll over instead of fighting the terrorists (who are of course the aliens), that things will work themselves out without a big fight. Did you see this message in there?
Hollywood's remakes are never as good as the original.Special effects are just a crutch for a bunch of no talent actors and a way of making the movie long enough to show.With so much special effects the new movies are nothing more than adult cartoons for the simple minded.
Thank you for the hunky pix of Christian Bale.
How is it humanly possible to have abs like that ? And you gotta admit, he's way way cuter than Cruise.
Yeah, but complaining about the way an eagle faces on a cap is silly.
I think Tom Cruise's career has jumped the shark.
JOyce is a real whackjob. She is easily starstruck and is really into Cruise and Spielberg. For her not to be happy you know it's bad.
Sure. It's harmless.
Roger that, RR. I liked Timmy a lot in `Jacob's Ladder', but then he met Susie in that baseball movie and woke up one morning a lefty pod-person . . & I don't need a lecture from Steve on evil handguns. (Squirming in chair a la Ebert.) Hollywood, Spielberg, Robbins, Cruise, et al. They just don't get it.
Not only is he way better looking but he's also a far better actor than Tom Cruise. Cruise plays the same characters over an over.
I've never seen "Mars Attacks". I heard it was funny. Is it worth renting?
Where did you get the stupid notion that Robbins was a pedophile? Can't you even leave your bigoted nature toward his politics out of this discussion?
He was insane from his ordeal. He simply made a comment on the basement stairs to Dakota Fanning while Cruise was sleeping that if anything happened to her dad, he'd take care of her. Cruise woke up and heard it and put her away from Robbins because he was unstable. That's all there is to that.
IMO, Cruise was not necessary for the success of the movie. It could have been an unknown. But Tom Cruise was adequate.
The star in the movie was the visual story itself.
What movie did you go and see?
Ray is told to drop his gun while one is pointed at his head...because the guy wanted the minivan. Unless I turned my head and missed it, his gun was never shot at anyone.
Just as in the book, earth's own bacteria makes the tripods vulnerable.
All in all, the movie gets 2 thumbs up from DCPatriot.
That, and $1.25 gets you a 16 oz. coffee at the 7-11.
"Mars Attacks" is definitely a movie worth renting. It's very funny.
