what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I always like that guy from American Graffiti, Ron Howard. He was in that yellow hot rod. He just always seem cool.

Entomology professor from New York travels to rural town in Illinois to find his missing wife, unaware that aliens disguised as humans took over the community back in 1958--in a deal with the U.S. Government. Director Michael Laughlin, who also co-wrote the screenplay with William Condon, from a treatment by Laughlin, Condon and Walter Halsey Davis, apparently wanted to make an imitation 1950s monster movie--a valentine to the low-budget, sometimes-campy drive-in entries about alien invaders and their unsuspecting human targets--but his film doesn't transcend the formula. It's an interesting concept, however once we realize that the picture isn't going to stretch beyond its own cartoonish border, interest begins to fade. Clueless leading man Paul LeMat (looking like an overgrown adolescent) doesn't appear to be in on the joke, anyway, a bewilderment most modern audiences will likely share. ** from ****

Incredibly Astute Homage to 1950's Sci-Fi and the Not very well Understood World of Ufology. Hip Filmmakers like Stephen Spielberg and some Low-Budget Types Know what They are Representing when They Portray the Real World of Flying Saucer Cultists and Researchers. This one Gets It and that In Itself is a Refreshing, Accurate, and welcomed Inclusion.The Average Movie Goer Probably Doesn't Know, for example, that CUFOS (Center for UFO Studies) was a Real Life and Serious Non-Profit Investigative Unit. A Respected Sister than the more Recognizable MUFON. The Even More Hip than Spielberg Chris Carter (creator of the X-Files) Knew This and Included it in the much Loved "Max" Two-Parter Episodes.There is a Veiled and Hidden Conspiratorial Truth that the Tabloids are thought to be in Cahoots with the Govt. to be a Debunking "Agent" of the Subject with its Lurid and Often seemingly Ridiculous Exploitation of the Abduction and Sightings Phenom. In Other Words Their Stories are so Outlandish that the whole Subject by Association is Evidence that the Thing is Not Worthy of Consideration by "Serious" Folks and is Grist for the Cover-Up Mill.The Movie also is a Colorful and Visual Treat with its B-Movie SFX and Makeup that is Excellent Considering. It has its Share of Horror and Paranoia (a staple of 50's greats). The Cast may be Inconsistent in the Acting Department but the Inspired but Dumbed Down Script is Funny, Spot-On, and a Neat Treat.Overall, this Minor and Virtually Unknown Cult Movie is a Must See for Anyone that Loves the Alien Invasion Stuff and Unacknowledged and Starving UFO Researchers that might Not Know of this Respectful Tribute to Their Hard Work at the Hands of a Laughing and Viscous Populace that uses the "Giggle Factor" to Insult any chance They get to "Cover-Up" Their Lack of Knowledge and Lessen the Fear.

Where to begin.... This hideous excuse for a motion picture makes "Plan 9 From Outer Space" look well thought out. The music? It's culled from every single overwrought piece of PD shlock in existence. The focus? Hell, doesn't matter if in one shot there are thirty people standing in the road; the new angle shows a lone Packard with a waitress posing for Argosy Mag shots. Paul Le Mat, Diana Scarwid, Louise Fletcher, Wallace Shawn: fine actors who must have all been starving to death at that point in their lives and the director lured them to sign on with tempting bits of cat food. The production budget must have skyrocketed to well over fifty cents with the addition of The Space Alien Phallic Transportation Machine which, for a time, must have meant that the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile was not available.
