The Big 3

I already mentioned Batman Begins and Star Wars as being must-see movies this summer. The third movie to top things off nicely would be War of the Worlds. I was afraid things would get campy and that it would be, well...another sci-fi. But the acting and dialogue are good, and drama complements the action/thrill element. The alien onslaught is progressive and the film gives you gradually a little bit more thrill factor, allowing the suspense to work its way under your skin rather seamlessly. I've seen part of the original make of this movie a half-century ago, and the 2005 version does justice to making this THE War of the Worlds.
