War of the Worlds

8/10 I bumped the rating up to an 8 from a 7.5 because of the amazing special effects. They were close to flawless. The acting was great; although, I don't know how wrong you could go with a cast that includes Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, a… more »

No Fame Or Fortune...Just Cool Points

I get this feeling when I am acknowledged by those I respect or when I affect the bigger picture. The effects of this feeling are a beaming smile and a slight shiver. You might call it "giddy," for lack of a better (read: more masculine) word. Following… more »
