Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Invasion (2007)

Another "ornament" movie and, boy, can I pick 'em or what? This one is an unnecessary update of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Basically, humans are being infected with alien juice which makes their emotions/reactions disappear. Casting the cold fish Kidman as one of the still-human -- and, therefore, still supposedly emotional -- was a mistake. She actually got MORE animated when she was "pretending" to be infected than she was before she caught on to what was happening.

It's bad but, unfortunately, not quite bad enough to be any fun.
