The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008, USA)

Wow, so that was a big ol’ waste of time. Not that I expected greatness, but I thought it might be good to help while away a sick-day afternoon. Not so much. It’s incredibly dull, and not even the presence of some of my favorite television actors – Jon Hamm, Kyle Chandler and Robert Knepper – really made this worth the hour forty-five. And that Jaden Smith kid? Makes Keanu look like a master emoter, even when he's playing an emotionless alien. That's BAD.
