About Me
- Name: Chad Spacey
- Location: Sunnyvale, California, United States
I take Pictures and play Poker. Half the time I'm in the San Jose area, the other half I'm in the Santa Barbara area. Two great places! I always have the camera with me so I don't miss a shot.

Strange crop circles appear in a cornfield 45 miles outside of Philadelphia and in many other places around the world. When seen from an airplane, the series of circles appear to be some type of code, communication or landmark, much like a lighthouse. In India alone, 18 crop signs have appeared in less than 72 hours. When UFO's suddenly appear without warning, it's clear that aliens are visiting the earth. What's unknown is, Are they friends or enemies?
Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) lost his wife in a tragic accident six march madness months ago. At the same time he lost his faith and left the church where he was a minister; though most townspeople still call him Father Graham. He's still in a great deal of pain as are his two young children Morgan and Bo (Rory Culkin & Abigail Breslin).
Graham's brother Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix) has come to live with them on their farm. He's an odd-duck who set five minor league baseball records, including longest home run and most strike outs, which probably explains why he didn't make it to the majors. Merrill's approach to baseball was "it felt wrong not to swing," and Graham's wife Colleen's (Patricia Kalember) last words were "swing away." Much of the fun in "Signs" comes from foreshadowing like this…it's also one of the film's flaws.
The entire family is caught up in the mystery of the strange occurrences, with both harrowing and humorous results. They finally come face to face with the cause. Mixed with a number of scary moments that are very well done, the humor allows the wallop of the film's sinister side to have a light touch.
M. Night Shyamalan, who also directed "The Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable," once again deals with the supernatural. Shyamalan's movies require patience as the story slowly unfolds and we wait for the big pay back at the end. The biggest difference between "Signs" and the prior films is that the closure is not as tight as it should be nor are many of the things that happen along the way. The other movies had you saying at the end, "Now I know why she said that and why he did that then." Here the aliens seem a little light on the IQ and as thick headed as the doors and boards holding them at sportsbook bay. "Signs" is still a good movie but with such high expectations based upon past performance, I think it was fair to expect more. Even with the faults in the film, this is a must see for all Mel Gibson or Shyamalan fans.
