Having put Netflix on hold with 100+ unviewed movies accumulated, but always a big fan of both Meryl Streep and Seymour Hoffman, went over to get newly released Doubt from ye nearby REDBOX. Also out on DVD the same day was The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008). Had lousy reviews but a nice trailer, how bad could it be? Answer: amazingly so. On any level of analysis, this "re-imagining" of the 1951 sci-fi classic starring Michael Rennie has got to be one of the worst movies ever made. Believe it.
