Watch the sky
Signs is by far the most likeable, and worthwhile alien film ever made. It had more of a plot than any other movie with Aliens in it has. It sure dominates "It came from the sky", and beats "The day the earth stood still", but I have to admit, both of those were pretty good for their times. This one sort of left the aliens in the shadows until it really needed to bring them out, and reveal their true nature. Then again, that's the purpose behind M. Night Shyamalans genius.

Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) is living a pretty strange life after his wfie is killed in a mysterious car accident, but it is now the present time 6 months later. His children (Rory Culkin, and Abigail Breslin) are like robots. His little girl, Bo, only drinking half a glass of water then saying it's contaminated. His brother of very few words (Joaquin Phoenix) tries to help by moving in with him, but maybe it's only making things worse. The matter changes when a mysterious crop circle appears in their corn fields. One day later, over 50 crop circles appear all over India. It seems that someone is trying to prove a point by playing this perfectly exicuted prank, but the problem doesn't stop there. 14 aircraft lights appear, and hover right above Mexico city, Graham has two close encounters with the "visitors", chopping ones fingers off, and each day, more and more people find the strange creatures wandering around their homes. Time may be running out for earth if the humans don't hurry up and figure out what to do.

The acting in this one was great. The DVD was certainly entertaining escpecially with the deleted scenes. I always like to see DVD's with special features like that. Even M. Night Shyamalans first scary movie that he ever made when he was a kid. Definetelty a movie to pass up. It's out of this world!

M. Night Shyamalan's Atypical Religious/Sci-Fi Pic
M. Night Shyamalan has been hailed as the next Spielberg with such writing/directing/producing credits as The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs & his new venture, The Village, and rightly so, in my humble opinion. This film is generally unlike The Sixth Sense & Unbreakable. That is precisely why Signs received mixed reviews from critics at the box office.

Mel Gibson stars as the newly widowed ex-reverend/father Graham Ness. Along with his younger, ex-baseball hero brother, Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix) and two young children, son, Morgan and little daughter, Bo (Rory Culkin, Abigail Breslin), the recently faithless ex-minister & his family experience accidents, death, crop circles, extra-terrestrials, and much more while director/writer/ producer Shyamalan pursues a spookfest with great (thank you, H.G. Wells) "War of the Worlds" undertones.

While the whole Ness clan re-evaluates their spiritual past, present and uncertain future, Graham & Merrill debate/discuss what kind of people they really were while growing up, what kind of people they are now and what the experience that they go through in the film makes them out to be in the end. There are many a spiritual idea/moral to this odd story by Shyamalan & certainly worth a look-see. Does the Ness family perceive a phenomenal occurrence as a series of spiritual signs and heavenly portents, or do they only believe in fate, chance, luck and divine providence?

Watch this oddly, extraordinary film and find out for yourself.

Happy Watching!

THE GREATEST FILM IN HISTORY
I mean, come one, it makes perfect sense. An advanced alien race comes to planet earth and tries to take it over. The only problem is that they are allergic to water and even thought they can make spaceships that fly all throughout the universe, they are apparrently unable to make suits that make them impervious to water (even though we have been able to make suits like that for the last hundred years).

By the way did you guys know that Shyamalan uses the old Hitchcock adage that "what you don't see is scarier"? Well, he does! In fact you "don't see" so much that I was scared out of my tiny little mind! Show more, Shyamalan, I'm freaking out!

I guess the scariest thing about these aliens is that they are so brave. See, they're allergic to water, but they traveled to a planet where over 70% of it is covered in water. Not to mention that water shoots out of the hoses on most everybody's lawns, faucets, squirt guns, balloons, and genitals! Give those aliens some props! Did I mention that I can spit water? That's right! I actually SPIT water out of my mouth with relative ease! Bring on the aliens, I think I have a fighting chance!
