"Milla Jovovich is in it. It’s another one of those ones that’s based on a true story, like The Mothman Prophecies. They use a lot of found footage in it — well not found footage, but like cop car cameras and things like that. This is one of those movies that, you know, it will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. It’s horrifying."

When I learned that Michelle Hoover based this historical fiction novel on a true family story about two girls who suddenly disappeared from their rural family home, I knew I had to read it.

This classic novel of Margaret Atwood is now a televised mini-series, but I really had to read the book before I start watching it. This fascinating historical fiction novel is a psychological profile based on the true story of Grace Marks, the woman convicted of a double homicide in 1843.

Alien Invasion or family issues
I loved the Orson Weller radio drama of War of the Worlds...I even like the 1953 take on the story; but this movie. This story doesn't need a Tom Cruise type star because they are going to want the movie focused on them. Like this one. This is a story about alien invasion, not about a dead beat dad. I know the human element has to be in something like this but not in this fashion. I thought this was a very poor interpraraton of War of the Worlds. I would love to see this movie done very closely to the radio drama. That would make a good movie. As for the Tom Cruise version....it needs a heat ray taken to it and wiped off the face of the Earth.
