FEEDBACK: Did the Earth move for you?
You couldn't pay me to see THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL this weekend. You guys all know me, I'm not one for writing out and out attack articles on movies... even high profile disasters like THE INCREDIBLE HULK and THE HAPPENING which I thought were absolutely dreadful, I said my small peace here and there, and I moved on. Hollywood will always drop the ball every summer with one or two movies but in 2008 we were treated pretty darn well with what we got I thought. Even GET SMART I could tolerate. But for THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL remake, well it just makes me angry and wanna scream to the heavens and I'm not going to apologize for it. There's just something that nags me about the movie everytime I see that it's the biggest release of the weekend in my local cinema. And I've been bashing the movie for almost two years, in fact at one point someone suggested I had a serious problem with Keanu Reeves because I didn't like how this film was turning out. Reeves is only a small problem of this movie. Only one piece of a massive falling house of cards which, and I rarely say this, I hope will come down as wrecking ball of financial disaster for 20th Century Fox. I'm hoping you don't see it this weekend... especially in the U.S. when their are so many great drama's playing right now with FROST/NIXON, MILK, etc. Because if this makes money then it'll only be a matter of time before it's your favourite science fiction movie that gets remade. Or your favourite horror movie, or your favourite this or that. Maybe we are already too late? LET US KNOW YOUR FEEDBACK BELOW. IF YOU DO PLAN ON SEEING THE MOVIE, THEN DON'T VOTE UNTIL YOU HAVE!!!!
