In part one of our series on how to build a badass home theater, we talked about preparing your room, controlling ambient light, choosing furniture and, finally, how to convince your wife (or husband) how to let you install your dream home theater. In this feature, we are going to focus specifically on one of the biggest concerns that any of us have before we take the plunge into a major home theater: cost. The prices below for the systems we have assembled consist primarily of retail prices available at the time of the publication of this article. It is not meant as a definitive guide, but rather as a road map to building the budget for your own gear. Specific prices, tax and shipping will vary, based on when and where you purchase your gear. Anyone who has clicked through the pages of Revolution Home Theater (RevolutionHomeTheater.com) and has seen some of the world's most elaborate custom home theater installations knows that the sky is the limit when it comes to budget.Automated drapes, custom lighting scenes and motorized lifts are just some of the ways you can really run up the tab on your theater, and for those who have the coin to do this, I say go for it. If you are going the high-end route, your dealer or custom installer will have plenty of options for not only your gear, but also how to automate it, distribute your music and movies throughout the house and ultimately control it, all with a few simple commands on a touch-screen remote panel.

"War of the Worlds" is not just the best movie of the year so far, it¹s the best alien invasion movie since the original "The War of the Worlds" back in 1953. (Gene Barry and Ann Robinson, the stars of that film, have brief cameos at the end of this one.) It's so far above "Independence Day" that there¹s very little comparison. That movie was a funhouse ride, not to be taken seriously except at moments. This movie means business, and its business is very grim indeed; this is even darker than "Jaws." It's not as gruesomely realistic as the first quarter of "Saving Private Ryan," but it's a lot more movie-realistic and serious in its goals than almost any other big-audience movie Spielberg has made in many years. There are many hand-held camera shots but thankfully Spielberg doesn't resort to that rapid-fire editing that passes for action these days..

H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds Now that H.G. Wells' famous 1898 novel The War of the Worlds has entered public domain, and there¹s a heavily-publicized, very expensive new movie version from Steven Spielberg, there are now several movie versions to choose from. In addition to the Spielberg version, titled "War of the Worlds," there is, of course, the 1953 version, "The War of the Worlds," is already out on DVD, but due to be reissued in a extras-laden DVD in November. Then there's a minor movie called "Invasion" while in production, but which hastily became "H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds" just before its release on DVD. A CGI-animated feature based on Jeff Wayne's 1975 musical versionheretofore only a recording (but featuring Richard Burton)is due for release in 2006 or 2007. (Note that the titles vary slightly, probably for legal reasons.)

"Time After Time" has a plot that concerns two famous real-life Victorian-era figures the influential science-fiction writer H.G. Wells and the serial killer Jack the Ripper and the notion that both men wind up in present-day San Francisco. It's a perfectly good and well-executed premise, but what makes "Time After Time" shine is its love story. The chemistry between Malcolm McDowell as the out-of-his-element Wells and Mary Steenburgen as the modern woman who sweeps him off his feet is so undeniable that it carries along everything around it. "Time" starts in 1893 London, when a tipsy streetwalker encounters a gentleman in a top hat. Unfortunately for the woman, her new customer is Jack the Ripper.
