Matt Roush says...
His return to the sci-genre with Disclosure Day (out this weekend) is getting great buzz, and living legend Steven Spielberg looks back at some of his earlier genre triumphs, co-hosting an evening of his classics, beginning with 1977’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind (8/7c), starring Richard Dreyfuss (from Spielberg’s breakthrough Jaws) as an everyman who encounters extraterrestrials. The lineup continues with 2001’s prescient A.I. Artificial Intelligence (10:30/9:30c) and 2002’s propulsive Tom Cruise thriller Minority Report (1:15 am/12:15c).
