Killer Instinct (2005)
not atypical
At first I thought this show was going to be another rip off of CSI, the nice thing is, it's not. The lead detective Jack Hale is interesting, to say the least. His Father is a serial killer. As if his life wasn't going good enough in this respect, his partner was murdered by a serial killer Hale failed to catch. A dark show with a talented cast, including Chi McBride, who doesn't fail as the captain who like's and help's his detectives catch the bad guys. Not your Typical cop show, its one I plan on keep watching as long as FOX will play it. With it being on FOX, that means about this season only. Catch it while you can.
War of the Worlds (2005)
anything but this movie
I took a chance to see this movie and boy, was I sorry. Dakota Fanning is the true star of this lame picture as she has more acting ability in her ten year old little fingers than Tom Cruise does after 15+ years of movies. The wide blue eyes staring off "in Horror" in the distance look has been done many times in nearly every movie he's in, and it's much more convincing on a small child than a man in his 40's.
The movie is poorly done, the characters are paper thing and completely unlikable, and the aliens are a hodgepodge ripoff of ID4 aliens, Predator aliens and Spielberg's own ET.
S.Spielberg hasn't had a good movie in Years and this one does Not break his ongoing bad streak. The special effects were fun in the beginning but how many times does a massive city have to be blow up before it gets old? It was old in this one. I kept watching, Waiting, Hoping for this movie to get better, and it disappointed by not doing so. My teenagers were displeased and people next to me were actually leaving the theater.
My advice, go see Bewitched. Its actually funny and well worth an hours attention.
