THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (2008) - Oct. 7, 2009
A really well directed film about the fallout that ensues when a mysterious alien comes to Earth. The performances, with the exception of a somewhat grating Jaden Smith, were really good (particularly Jennifer Connelly) and Scott Derrickson's stylish and effective direction did a good job of maintaining tension. The special effects were also pretty impressive -- this was definitely a good-looking film. The movie sort of falls apart a little bit if you over-think it, but that's really a minor complaint. ***
