Knowing

Well, after the disappointment chronicled earlier this week, Netflix redeemed itself with tonight's DVD selection: Knowing, starring Nicolas Cage.

Without revealing too much of the plot to ye socks who haven't yet seen it yourselves, the story had the feel of a Stephen King novel meets War of the Worlds.

Okay, the King thing may have simply been due to the New England setting.

And, the ending isn't nearly as positive as WOTW . . . unless you take a *very* broad perspective of things.

But, the special effects are great and the plot is ideologically provocative.

Bottom line: don't miss this one.
