Extras: Scene Access Trailers My Thoughts: I thought I'd check out this movie again if it really is as bad as Pete recently wrote, or closer to what I remember it being. For me it is still about the same as when I saw it years ago. It had a few good parts and bad parts. I have never enjoyed the juvenile beginning, and I never enjoyed the stupid end. But I enjoy the middle part of the movie. I always thought it a fun idea to have Billy repeat all twelve school years, with two weeks for each grade. He really did fit into elementary school. And the high school part started interested. Sadly the movie then chose to go into another direction which prematurely stopped the high school part. It would have been much more interesting to follow him through high school and him trying to fit in there.As for the love interest: She is really hot, but her falling in love with him just did happen much too fast. One minute she couldn't stand him. The next time she is seducing him. The school trip scene is what supposedly changed her view of him. But it would have been better if it would have only been a starting point from where she gradually gets to know him better, instead of her making a move on him the very next day. Overall I am glad it wasn't as bad as I had feared I would think of the movie this time around. Rating: (From Tom's Random Reviews on May 2nd, 2010) The War of the Worlds, a review by addicted2dvd

My Thoughts: This is the first time I ever seen this classic sci-fi. And I must say... I enjoyed it quite a bit. I liked how they did the martians... and their ships. I liked the way the story was told. And I enjoyed how the story unfolded. I especially got a kick out of the ending... what finally beat the martians. I like how it wasn't saying the martians were beat by us all-powerful humans... but rather... we humans lucked out. I can definitely see myself watching this one again. If you are like me... and never seen this move before... it is one I would definitely recommend.My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From TV Stars in the Movies: On-Going Mega Marathon on September 4th, 2011) "Due South" marathon, a review by Tom1.11 You Must Remember This (1995-01-05) Writer: Paul Haggis (Created By), Peter Lefcourt (Writer) Director: David Warry-Smith Cast: Paul Gross (Constable Benton Fraser), David Marciano (Detective Ray Vecchio), Beau Starr (Lt.
