* * * *1/2 Signs stars Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix and is directed by M. Knight Shyalaman.
If you can't watch a movie with a couple of frightening moments, you probably wouldn't like this film. However, that is the only thing that should be keeping anyone back from seeing this movie.
Signs was not only an intriguing tale of aliens conquering planet Earth, but it was well-written, well acted, and well directed. It has a little bit of everything in there from laughter to brokenheartedness to high suspense. What I liked about it the most was how real unreal situations were portrayed. There hasn't been any documented fact that America knows about (publicly) that aliens exist. But for some reason, I felt like this was more real than the average alien flick. Maybe it was because it didn't center on aliens, but more on human emotion.
Anyway, if you haven't already seen it, see it! I have already seen it twice, and it was just as good (or even better) the second time. Plus, the little girl in the movie is so, so cute.
