Movie Review: ****Signs (2002)


This is another M. Night Shyamalan movie and stars Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix.  The premise behind this movie is fascinating, and we see the fear through the eyes of the actors.  First mysterious things happen, and then crop circles, and then a view of an alien on the TV.  The reaction to this by Joaquin Phoenix blows me away.  It sets you up for suspense, because the aliens are not there to be friends, but to have a picnic, with humans as the food.  Gibson plays a pastor, who has given up the cross when his wife passed away in an auto accident.  The events of this movie help him find his faith again.  Some things--call them intuition, or inspiration, cannot be explained other than that God is watching us.  This movie is very well done.  It is a must see.
