GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
OsideBoomer Two great films of the 50': War of the Worlds and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Fabulous special effects, great heroes, and a message for the times. The director made it believable and appealing to all ages of viewers. What kid back then or today doesn't wish he was Bobby?
Osmosis Iron An early sci-fi masterpiece. Manages to tell an intriguing story about a different kind of alien invasion, without relying heavily on action, but rather using atmosphere and characters to entice you. Gort and the phrase "Klaatu Barada Nikto" have become part of the popular culture! Must watch for any sci-fi enthusiast.

phill-01787 Flaw in the movie: Klaatu stayed in Room 306 of Walter Reed hospital. But when he later meets Professor Barnhart he says he stayed in Room 309. Just noticed this flaw having watched TDTESS for probably the 5,000th time since 1957. This film should be remade from the original... no new plot.
