Martian Child

So tonight I was baking a cake for the Christmas party tomorrow, and my dad starting watching my favourite movie Martian Child. I've got to say, I LOVE this movie. It makes me laugh and cry every time I watch it. There are so many good actors in it (John Cusack, Joan Cusack, Amanda Peat, Bobby Coleman) and the director is a freaking genius. I love the heartfelt, cute way the story is told. And as an added bonus, it was shot in Canada. :)
I'm not going to spoil the movie for you or tell you to like it or anything, I'm just going to leave you with this quote:

"Dennis, can I just say one last thing about Mars? - which may be strange coming from a Science-Fiction writer - But right now, you and me here, put together entirely of atoms, sitting on this round rock with a core of liquid iron, held down by this force that seems to trouble you, called gravity, all the while spinning around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour and whizzing through the milkyway at 600,000 miles an hour in a universe that very well may be chasing its own tail at the speed of light; And admist all this frantic activity, fully cognisant of our own eminent demise - which is our own pretty way of saying we all know we're gonna die - We reach out to one another. Sometimes for the sake of entity, sometimes for reasons you're not old enough to understand yet, but a lot of the time we just reach out and expect nothing in return. Isn't that strange? Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird enough? So why the heck do ya need to be from Mars for?"
-"David" played by John Cusack
