Signs (not a movie review)

Again, not gonna do a review (at least not now - who knows, maybe someday I'll get back to reviewing this and "The Village"). I watched it this afternoon, and I had forgotten how spiritual it is. With the whole faith, and reasons behind things, and trusting thing - it's really good. Granted there are aliens and whatnot, but hey, the Bible never says that GOD didn't populate other planets.

Ok, so this is kinda turning into a review. I may as well finish it.

I like this movie. (And not just cuz it's pretty, what with Joaquin and Mel.) It's a little suspenseful, but not scary (I like to compare M. Night Shyamalan to Alfred Hitchcock as far as that goes). Yes, it's about aliens attacking (they're kinda corny looking, but Didder is scared of them), but mostly it's about a pastor losing his faith when his wife dies, and how he gets it back. I like how it portrays the family, too. The acting is good, and there are some parts that are so funny that I can't imagine trying to keep a straight face while filming them.

So yeah, it's a good movie. If you haven't seen it - where have you been the last 5 years? I didn't know there were still people out there who haven't seen it. We'll have to watch it sometime.
