I just saw a great science fiction movie. If you haven't seen Brother From Another Planet, you should. It has low budget effects, but fantastic writing and acting. And lots of clever things in the background as well.
It stars Joe Morton, who you've seen in lots of stuff. I most remember him as the scientist who invented Skynet and destroyed humanity. His character is mute, but his acting is so great in this, you're almost glad he can't talk. It also features David Straithairn and a VERY young Fisher Stevens, who do very good work in the movie.
It's a great allegory about immigration and being black in america, with a funny, charming alien who you just want to find a home.
