What movie were some people watching?

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2002)

I found this moving to be a ton of fun. It has its suspensful moments and its funny moments. Any good thriller / horror film has to have a little bit of humor involved, especially when we are dealing with aliens (come on now, how serious can you be about such a subject). But I thought Joaquin Phoenix was excellent Mel Gibson gave his usual great performance. The Culkin boy kinda did it in for me, only because I hate the entire Home Alone series with a passion and I could see so much resemblance. But other than that, it was a good quality thriller / suspense movie. Definately not Oscar material, but worth checking out. Go in not expecting too much and you won't be disappointed. And by the way, don't let some people who say this thing was filmed on a 'budjet similar to the blair witch project' fool you. This movie had a 62 million $ budget, and it shows from the quality of production. The blair witch project had like a 100,000$ budjet so aparently quite a few people on here have flunked math class :)
