THE ARRIVAL

With Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Crouse, Teri Polo, Ron Silver
Directed by David Twohy

This was around the time that Martin's boy decided to be more mature and refer to himself as Charles Sheen - it didn't last long. If you can get past the point of believing Charlie in the role of an astronomer, then you're well on your way. This was in fact made about a year before
Contact, and sees Sheen listening to the heavens. On intercepting a signal that may be alien, he gets fired but investigates solo, uncovering a nasty conspiracy including global warming and alien colonization. There are some cool and creepy alien moments. Ron Silver does his Al Pacino-light impersonation along the way.
