Saw War of the Worlds last night. Not a lot of plot, but it just had that trademark Steven Spielburg feel to it, which was basically the only thing making me want to see a film with this rather tired premise. I would recommend seeing it once in theaters, if only for the scope of these catastrophic images being worth a big screen ticket.

As for the actors... all I will say is that 11-year old Dakota Fanning thoroughly out-acted Tom Cruise. It's most painfully obvious in their scenes together, which are many. If Spielburg had given the same camera time and attention to her as Cruise, there could be no doubt.
