It's a buddy cop movie with aliens, mass murder, strippers, and a possessed dog. It's far, far better than its premise and completely worth watching. I cannot recommend it highly enough.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-53743334730597367502016-05-19T09:13:18.479-04:002016-05-19T09:13:18.479-04:00Oh, Plan 9.

Pla...Well these are ripe specimens for sure Dell. <br /><br />Plan 9 is so amateurish, I've seen junior high school projects that had better production values. Poor Bela Lugosi this has to be one of the saddest cinematic swan songs out there...though not as dreadful as Veronica Lake's Flesh Fest which is just the worst! <br /><br />I've only seen pieces of Howard the Duck. It ran at the movie theatre I was working in when it came out so I had to check occasionally that the film was running properly, those glimpses were enough to convince me that I'd seen enough!<br /><br />Somehow I've missed Femalien through the years, though I'm sure I've seen something like it long ago during those late night Cinemax offerings. <br /><br />Aside from Alien and Aliens this genre always makes me think goofy low rent stuff which is what I went with this week.<br /><br />I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1958)-After his buddies give him a bachelor party handsome young hunk Bill (Tom Tryon) heads home but stops when he thinks he’s hit something in the road and is suddenly engulfed by a heavy gray fog. Next day prospective bride Marge (Gloria Talbott) frets when Bill is late to the wedding until he shows up and faster than you can say Jack Robinson she’s “MARRIED TO A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE!!!!” Pulpy 50’s sci-fi follows their story as it slowly dawns on Marge that there is an alien race who are seeking a way toward reclamation of their species. Leading man Tryon eventually abandoned acting for a very successful writing career (The Dark Secret of Harvest Home, The Other etc.)<br /><br />I Come in Peace (1990)-A gang of drug traffickers known as the "White Boys” cause havoc when they make off with a cache of heroin from a federal building followed by a strange spate of deaths where the victims bear a puncture mark on their foreheads. Hard-nosed cop Jack Caine (Dolph Lundgren) and FBI agent Arwood Smith (Brian Benben) follow bizarre clues looking for an answer. B movie actioner whose tagline “Good cop. Bad alien. Big trouble.” pretty much says it all.<br /><br />They Live (1988)-Drifter John Nada (Rowdy Roddy Piper) finds a pair of sunglasses that when worn shows the world as it truly is. How it truly is happens to be a place where the billboards and all media carry subliminal messages such as “No Imagination” and “Stay Asleep” and the people in authority are actually aliens hidden behind a mask of normalcy who are keeping the masses subdued. Directed with a sardonic tone by John Carpenter.<br /><br />Honorable Mention-Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956)-Playing into both the public’s fascination and fear of space exploration and outer space in the 50’s this low budget sci-fier is both earnest and reactionary. Flying saucers, looking like exact replicas from My Favorite Martian, start blasting the hell out of a military base when their signal is misinterpreted. Once the mistake is revealed and against government orders a lone scientist tries to straighten out the muddle. Finding out the aliens intentions it’s then a race to find a defense before the human race is enslaved! Cheesy but if you like this kind of thing it could be fun.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-63383256662294737542016-05-19T08:15:40.358-04:002016-05-19T08:15:40.358-04:00Please see Plan 9.
