The last time I chatted with my boyfriend about movies here we discussed Brendan Fraser, mummies, and Yetis and it was a lot of fun. So, I recruited him again for The Day the Earth Stood Still, a remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic of the same name.

Reservation Road: So Much Potential, Yet Boring
Note: Another one from me. I'm on a roll today.
Ever since I read the book Reservation Road a few years back, I thought it would make an excellent movie.
First Look: Reservation Road
After outlining the differences between Reservation Road and Revolutionary Road yesterday, you should be all set and ready to watch this trailer for the one of the road-themed movies coming out this fall: Reservation Road.
