FROM the director of The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day comes 2012, a film about the end of the world in -- you guessed it -- 2012. If nothing else, those clever Mayans have provided fodder for another big-screen depiction of global CGI devastation.
Interestingly, back up 1,260 days -- 3-1/2 years -- from 12/21/12 and you arrive at July 10, 2009, which was the original release date for 2012.
