It's very powerful and very mooving.

I just can't watch shit like this
I mean, I'm not against bleak. I love bleak in the right context, but movies like this or Slumdog Millionaire or any of the other "triumph of the human spirit" genre pieces leave me cold and inspire absolutely zero desire to watch them in me. They always feel like you're having your…

Ok, spoil this bitch for me
Milla's a midget hooker alien, right? What's the twist? There's gotta be a twist, it's a horror/sci-fi film in 2009, that's the law.

Can we get a word filter on the phrase "in this economy"? I'm so sick of hearing/reading it be applied to every asinine argument or mealy mouthed excuse for something by everyone imaginable.

I love Wig In A Box and listen to it on an almost daily basis.

Man, it's a good time to be a noir fan
Between this and the Nikkatsu Noir set I am fucking SET.

I've heard that you can't stop a woman from shoppin!

Well, let's compare and contrast, shall we?

""Unlike just about every recent remake of an '80s horror movie, Night Of The Creeps lends itself to being revisited by contemporary filmmakers, since it boasts such a great premise, yet realizes so little of its boundless potential."

The point of reviews on this site is not to recommend things to people who might like it, it's to critique the piece of art. This is a DVD review, not Primer or Gateways To Geekery. It seems like you're the one who's coming at this from the wrong POV, dude.

Yeah, because if there's one thing that's great about this movie, it's how subtle it is!

Do some of you understand the point of criticism?
I love this recurring sentiment that Rabin somehow isn't "qualified" to review this movie because he's not a fan of movies like it. Are you guys fucking serious?

They probably don't have any convictions that they wanted to express via this show, they just thought "hey, this might get us some buzz!" and decided to graft it onto an already overloaded and unremarkable piece of work.

One of the great things about the original mini-series was how complicit the human leadership was in the Visitors' takeover - either they were brainwashed, charmed or outright bribed into letting them do whatever they wanted and turned a blind eye. The Visitors coupled it with skilled propaganda that was very much in…

Yeah, which is exactly how Glenn Beck fans operate: throwing up year-old buzzwords and free-floating, anachronistic paranoia.

This was really terrible
I'm really shocked that anyone liked it. I think it was ineptly done on every conceivable level; bad acting, bad writing, reams and reams of exposition and perfunctory, muddled plot for a bunch of interchangeable characters no flesh and blood human being could ever relate to or like.

Did anyone else notice…
…how much Scott Wolf looks like Michael J. Fox in Mars Attacks?

No man, I love my pets, I just don't need the local news showing me pictures of cute kittens and talking about how they'll die because their owners can't afford to get them vet treatment. All it does is bum the fuck out of me and make me want to adopt more animals and I can't afford that shit.

Lick it, stick it, see ya later bye!

I wish According to Jim would be re-tooled to According To Kafka.
