“Aliens in the Attic” Movie Review

“Aliens in the Attic” Plot Summary

A group of kids must protect their vacation home from invading aliens.

Enjoyable children movie

Aliens in the Attic is a movie that entertains for maybe 30 minutes. After that time I think that it turns a little foolish, unreal and very childish. the movie tells the story of a very dysfunctional family that rent a house on the lake for their vacations, what they don’t know is that the house is already habit by a group of aliens looking for a device to invade and conquer the Earth. The aliens can control the mind of adult people but not of teenagers and children, so it is the children of the family to protect their house, their family and the whole world. The story is very predictable, from the very beginning you can tell what is going to happen. The cast is good, the performances not that much. I love the role of Doris Roberts as the Grandma, she is very funny, Kevin Nealon is also very food as the dad. I think that it is already time for Ashley Tisdale to leave behind the roles of the spoiled high school teenager and the kids were good enough specially the little girl Ashley Boettcher. In conclusion, Aliens in the Attic is an entertaining and enjoyable movie specially for kids, then if you don’t have kids or you’re not one avoid it or wait for it until its on DVD.

“AVP: Alien vs Predator” Movie Review

“AVP” Plot Summary

During an archaeological expedition on Bouvetoya Island in the Antarctic ocean, a team of archaeologists and other scientists find themselves caught up in a battle between the two legends. Soon, the team realise that only one species can win.

A guilty pleasure

I know I’m in the minority when I say, ‘I really enjoyed ‘Alien vs. Predator”. While skimpy in plot, Paul Anderson’s movie looks every penny of its multi-million budget, there are many nods to the two franchises and the cast look great.

Sanaa Lathan is a beautiful and convincing action heroine and the various action set-pieces are impressive to watch.

The special effects are top notch and both Alien and Predator fans should be happy with the way the characters are portrayed on the screen.

With an impressive soundtrack to boot, this remains a guilty pleasure. Roll on a second ‘AVP’…

    “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” Movie Review

    “CE3K” Plot Summary

    After an encounter with UFOs, a line worker feels undeniably drawn to an isolated area in the wilderness where something spectacular is about to happen.

    Fantastic

    A utilities worker named Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) has an encounter with a UFO (in a great scene). After that he begins to have ‘visions’ of a mountain. Also a single mother (Melinda Dillon) and her young son also have their home ‘investigated’ by aliens while they sleep. They also start to have visions of the same mountain. It seems UFOs and strange appearances are happening all over the globe. Naturally the government tries to cover it up. Why are the aliens here and what do they want?The same year George Lucas released ‘Star Wars’ this movie came out. While ‘Star Wars’ was about warfare and destruction this film is a very gentle, lyrical movie about a peaceful encounter with aliens. The government DOES try to cover everything up but, unlike later movies, they have no interest in destroying the aliens–only to make contact. That’s a very positive message…but this movie has serious problems

    The human characters are never fully realized. Dreyfuss and his wife (Teri Garr) seem to have a very dysfunctional marriage with three truly obnoxious kids. You don’t like any of them. As for Dillon we know NOTHING about her–just that she’s a single mother. That’s it. This is writer-director Steven Spielberg’s fault–he doesn’t develop any of his characters. But this was one of his first movies so it can be forgiven. Also there are gaps in logic and numerous scenes in which three or four people are talking at once making it impossible to figure out what’s going on. And WHY is the TV ALWAYS going at Dreyfuss’ house? It is needed in one sequence but most of the time it’s just more annoying background noise

    That aside this film is great. The sequences with the aliens are used sparingly until the end–which makes sense. And the special effects are just superb–they even work by today’s standards! The last half hour or so at Devil’s Tower, Wyoming is just jaw-dropping. The acting is actually pretty good. Dreyfuss and Dillon are very good (considering they’re just reacting to nothing) but Garr is whiny and annoying. Also French director Francois Truffaut does a rare acting role here. Vilmos Zsigmond did the astounding cinematography (the nighttime scenes are just beautiful) and John Williams added a great score. And the tune used with the aliens was a BIG hit in 1977! Worth seeing for the special effects and some truly great sequences. Just ignore the lousy ‘dramatic’ scenes with Dreyfuss and his family. Try to see it in a theatre. I give it a 9.

    “Dead Man” Movie Review

    “Dead Man” Plot Summary

    On the run after murdering a man, accountant William Blake encounters a strange Indian named “Nobody” who prepares him for his journey into the spiritual world. add synopsis

    A perfect full stop to a great genre

    This is what I call ‘first class’. Music, picture, dialogues, atmosphere, the actors’ play I like it all. What I do no like is that at least one scene could be easily moved to ‘deleted scenes’ section, while all the deleted scenes should be put into the film. You don’t have to be a fortune-teller to understand what ‘one scene’ I mean

    It is always enjoyable when the film is opened wide for interpretations. This is the case. When does Blake die? Where is he travelling? Is it reality? Who is that cannibal? Why is he being hit by an arrow? Who is that ‘Nobody’? Where is Blake heading? Being myself a bit of a guitar player I really enjoy the score. It adds a lot to the freaky pace of the film and creates the bizarre atmosphere

    Great job, Mr Jim Jarmusch. But 9 out of 10 because of the existence of something extra and the absence of something vital and important. Thank you for attention.
