One film

I paid for seeing one film in 2008, the new version of The Day the Earth Stood Still, and it was well worth it. that single movie was the only truly great movie last year. It reached and even exheeded my expectations.

We don't own the Earth. It belongs to itself, to nature, to the Universe. We have hurt it, hurt ourselves and we're not its caretakers, but its enemy. That's what we've become. We're about to ruin The Earth, our home, and we have to stop.

In the film there are beings powerful enough to stop us. We throw everything at them, and they just shrug and move on with their task, and they're the heroes and it's good, and when they're done The Earth belongs to humanity no longer.
