I was actually not all that impressed with War of the Worlds. Great visual effects, acting and characters are lackluster IMHO. Not sure if I'd spring for a CD once they come out.

Took my son the other day to see Herbie Fully Loaded. For those who may have grown up watching Herbie movies, it was pretty good. I just wish they had Dean Jones and Suzanne Plushette (?) make an appearance. And I think Buddy Hackett died a couple of years ago. Overall, a good family movie that is actually worth taking the family to see.

I'm going to try seeing Batman and WOTW hopefully this weekend.

Did the original Herbie blatantly defy the laws of physics and engineering (with a vengeance!) like can be seen in TV preview ads?

I went to see Crash last week. I thought it was really, really good, but that might just be because I happen to live in Los Angeles, so I kinda "get" a lot of what happens in the movie. It basically follows several different characters of varying ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds, as their stories intertwine over a two day period in Los Angeles. There is a trailer and a clip of the movie over at http://www.apple.com/trailers.

I'm pretty sure it's a limited-release kind of movie, only showing in the bigger markets, plus it's been out for about a month and a half now I think, so it may be hard to find. But if you see it playing somewhere, I highly recommend you go see it. Caveat is, it's not a "go with the family" kind of movie, and I would say that you'd have to at least be in your late teens to get much of anything out of it; besides, there's brief nudity, violence, and racial overtones throughout.

--edit: Oops, it seems apple doesn't have the trailer any longer. It is still on the movie's site, http://www.crashfilm.com/, but I don't think the clip is anywhere now.
