Only watched two films so far this week. First is the new sci-fi film The day the earth stood still. Don't think that the writers were considering to have any coherance in the plot. First it was about one thing, then another and at the same time it was trying to tackle some of life's big questions. Parts were enjoyable but most of the time I was annoyed by the poor plot and poor dialogue. The idea is great though, and I hope that it will be remade by somebody with an interest in the story rather than the turnover. This led me to watch K-PAX for the second time, which I think is excellent. A convincing story about an alien visiting earth simply to learn about it's being. Brilliantly shot and great performances from Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges. Watch it. Should leave you pondering some interesting questions. Also saw Four christmases, which at parts had me in stitches. It wasn't funny very often but when it was it was hysterical. Fairly well executed this film, though a lot of comedies seem to forget that it is comedy they are writing, as many comdies of recent end up being too serious towards the end. Guess this is to bring across the moral of the story and the like, which works. Go and see this for a laugh, should let you think of some interesting premesis of your own if nothing else.
