War of the Worlds
Image via Wikipedia
I don’t know why I missed this movie for this much of time. This movie suppose to be one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. Usually I like the movie of Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise. I was there with high expectations and I was granted what I was expecting.
Movie starts with a narration…
No one would have believed in the early years of the 21st century that our world was being watched by intelligences greater than our own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns, *they* observed and studied, the way a man with a microscope might scrutinize the creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water…
Story is simple. Alien war machines invade earth. Cruise’s family is fighting for survival along with other families. Cruise takes his son and daughter through tough road and he tries to save his family. In their way they encounter different type of people, aliens, alien machines etc. Finally he reunites with his family.
The acting is extremely good, and the idea of showing the film from the perspective of Cruise’s character - so the audience knows nothing that he doesn’t know - works extremely well. The complicated son - father relationship was also well elaborated. One of the best Sci-fi movies I have ever seen!

Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows - Review
Finally I have finished the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
Usually HP stories starts in Private drive, but in this book story starts in Malfoy?s house. The whole story is dark and bloody, anyway with voldermort what else can we expect???
In this book Ron and Hermonie drop the school and join with Harry Potter to hunt the horcruxes down. In the mean while they learn about Deathly Hallows as well (I can?t talk about Deathly Hallows, since it?ll lead me to a spoiler).
Snape is also playing a key role in this story, I wont? talk much because again it?ll lead to a spoiler. However here many myths about Snape, Lily potter was revealed by Rowling.
Not like the book 5, Harry Potter and the Order (Though it?s my fav book till I read the final book) of the phoenix this book is moving on a breathless pace. Finally there is a war between death eaters and rest of the innocent wizard community.
Order, DD Army, some well wishers join together and fight against the dark lord and his armies in Hogwarts school. Anyway you can easily predict the end of the story, Hats off to Rowling for this fantastic book.
All in all it?s a wonderful book!
Let?s talk about the movie OOP movie. It?s indeed a total disaster. Movie is nothing compare to the book. Many scenes that I have expected are either cut-off or narrowed down. So sad so sad.
May be it?s a problem when converting books into movies, but Lord of the rings is a good example how to convert a book into a movie.
Though you?ll watch this movie for sure, it?s not worth watching this movie.
