Mike witnesses "The Day the Movie Stood Still"


We went to see "The Day the Earth Stood Still" tonight and it all stood still at the same time: the Earth, the movie, and time itself. For the record the acting was great. Keanu Reeves can play an alien better than anyone (When he was the dude in Matrix, he played the same way.) Kathy Bates made a great Donald Rumsfeld but less feminine. The movie itself lasted almost two hours, but when it stands still it really stands still! Will Smith's son plays the little boy who won't mind. I think Will should spank him. Check that: I thank Will should be spanked for letting him do it. Of course this is about the third or fourth time this movie has been made, and I continue to be amazed that with all the new technology we can now make bad movies in a real slick way.


I should have been spanked for wanting to go. You might like it, but I thought the new Star Trek trailer was better than this movie. *1/2 stars (special effects get the half star, especially when they make Keanu's lips move!)
