Signs

This film is about a family that deals with strange occurances that hapen all over the world, and even literally in their own backyard. Everything from crop circles to strange lights in the sky and even alien sightings forces the Hess family to perpare for whatever is about to happen. I'm trying to keep from giving any cool parts or twists away, but you really need to see this movie. It had great acting, great directing, a good story, and a fantastic score to it. The story moves very quickly and uses suspence and humor to keep us on the edge of our seats. This is my pick of 2002. 5 out of 5.
