Heatstroke (2008)
Sleestaks Gone Wild
A day at the beach is ruined by a group of Sleestacks. The girl from The Wonder Years is now trying to transform herself from a Bikini model to a Bikini photographer. A bunch of Army people from the bar crash a ultralight into the shoot, causing the model/photographer to demand money from Uncle Sam, instead she gets a ride home from a stranger.
Enter the Sleestacks, they have been hiding in the mountains of Hawaii since Land of the Lost was canceled, entering certain peoples REM sleep and making them have fairly benign dreams. When Uncle Sam won't pay up, the Sleestacks go on a killing spree, slicing throats and melting people with their bad breath. One gets chased to a shiny optical effect and a army guy kills him. Army guy puts his hand into effect (OHHH...SHIIINY!) and gets a parasite from SG1 installed. Some more Army people get killed, prompting the model/photographer to ask a Australian army guy for dating advice.
I nodded off for a while around this part, when I woke up, there was a stock missile frigate shot, then a either a badly rendered CGI missile or a editing mistake, a puff of pixels is seen over a stock shot of a mountain, then Winnie macks the Army guy.
I kind of liked this movie,I just wish the Sci-Fi Channel would either cough up for better CGI effects, or subscribe to the less is more rule. McKeller's other scifi movie about Nanobots Gone Wild is much better though.
Saint Ange (2004)
Better than the reviewers here let on...
Just watched this movie, and I have to say, much better than I expected. I don't understand why the majority of comments are negative, unless they are from people who are into gory/splatter movies and not creepy/scary ones.
Though not chock full of jump out of your skin scares, has enough weird stuff to keep it interesting. And that is coming from someone who likes his scary movies
PS This NOT why we Americans make fun of the French, it's because you came up with lots of interesting concepts...like sabotage, agent provocateur...and ennui,whatever the heck that is.
War of the Worlds (2005)
Good movie, and thats from someone who wanted a "period" piece.
Maybe SPOILERS!!!!!
I am not a critic, so don't expect much useless verbosity. I like science fiction, and I really like the old science fiction stories. So I really wanted a line by line telling of the H.G. Wells classic. What I got was a good updating of the story, but without the cool meteorites or mention of our Red neighbor. Some of the people reviewing this movie seem to want a in depth, personal, heart wrenching story...and were disappointed by a fast paced, at times creepy...and a few laughs thrown in for good measure movie?
The BIG MAJOR complaint I have is it focused more on the main characters fight against the invaders than mankind's struggle, can you say "Thunderchild", tho seeing Tom Cruise close to a big propeller has it's merits ;)
Now that Mr. Spielberg has shot a old scifi classic, I wish he would tackle H.P Lovecraft, "The Mountains of Madness" would be a great place to start.
All in all, worth your money, but your kids may not sleep for a week...
