War of the Worlds

For over 100 years, H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds inspired just about every scary and/or schlocky sci-fi flick imaginable, from The Day the Earth Stood Still to Mars Attacks!

Screen Reviews

But our resident bumbling husband to a brainy, enchanting beauty isn’t quite sold on Nora Ephron’s latest concoction. In his review, Steve Stav attempts to explain his vague dissatisfaction with Bewitched.
