Wasily apparently super loosely based on the King-short story. Funny thing is it’s a drumming monkey instead of one with symbals, because the latter is copywrighted by some toy company.
Minority Report (2002). More Spielberg for me. First time watching since I saw this in the movie theatre when it was released. The plot is full of holes, and the ending is so sappy it gave me a chuckle, but man the guy can direct action. The first chase scene is incredible.
The other Cruise/ Spielberg collab War of the Worlds is similarly flawed, but is even more awesome in it’s set pieces. Also both still look really good for CGI-heavy films from 20 years ago.
