Holidays make the Earth Stand Still

The biggies this weekend are worlds apart. Keanu Reeves has everyone in a panic in The Day the Earth Stood Still--and it isn't over his acting. Meanwhile, in Nothing Like the Holidays, forced merriment makes for some crazy Christmas antics. True, family time during the holidays can make you long for the end of the world, but once you have that cathartic family confrontation over eggnog, it's all good. Klaatu barada nikto, everyone.
