      This movie is not for everyone -- it has some special effects, but it is mostly talk and mostly theory. It's a movie where theology debates science and nobody really wins the argument. It's the kind of movie where you walk out of it and talk about it for hours afterwards -- in fact, that's the reason this movie made this list.
     The cast of characters in this flick is another reason I love it. Jodie Foster is fantastic, as usual. She really plays the conflict of her character well. Then there is James Woods, not one of my favorites, but he fits perfectly in his role. And (since I'm a female), God knows I love that cute Mathew McConaughey -- but, here's the thing, he's the weakest link in the cast. I think he's great, but he doesn't fit his character, he's too young and pretty to be a respected theologian. But I love this movie so much, that I can forgive that one mistake.
