"The Day the Earth Stood Still"

This supremely lame update of the sci-fi classic, starring Keanu Reeves, is assembled out of bits of every movie where an unknown whatzit threatens our way of life.

    @Durian Joe Re.: When Jennifer Connelly Was Still Va-Va-VOOM!!

    Forget "The Rocketeer." Rent "Mulholland Falls." There is a sex scene between her and Nick Nolte (!) that is simply mind-blowing. No wonder critics back then were calling her the "modern Marilyn Monroe"! And the movie surrounding the sex scene is a damn good one, woefully underrated, with an awesome cast (Connelly, Nolte, Chaz Palmenteri, John Malkovich, Andrew McCarthy and on and on).
