Alien Nation/Enemy Mine (1988)

clasic sci-fi

Two classic movies together. Well worth the price and I'm sure I will watch them again and again. September 1, 2008

great bargain

These were 2 good movies and the acting was great. I'm a SciFi fan and this fit the bill. August 1, 2008

An Out Of This World Double Feature(It's corny, I know, but I couldn't think of anything else)

How's this for a good deal? Two classic sci-fi flicks we all know and love! Both films have the theme of a human and an alien at odds with one another who eventually have to work together and eventually become best friends. These two films are more character driven than most sci-fi flicks.
Alien Nation is actually more of an 80s style cops and robbers buddy movie a la 48 HRS, but with aliens. The aliens have landed and are trying to become productive members of human society, but of course there are those humans who aren't too happy about the "Newcomers" taking their jobs and zipping through the educational system faster than the human children. Detective Sykes(James Caan) doesn't like these guys at all, especially after his partner is killed by one. Then he teams up with the first Newcomer detective played by Mandy Patinkin. As you can imagine, it's a rough road for these two, but in the end they're buddies. The villain is a rich Newcomer drug dealer played by the always cool Terence Stamp. A fun movie with some funny dialogue and some good ol' mindless action. But you already knew that.
Enemy Mine is another one of those great flicks to revisit now and again. This one has rival fighter pilots Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett, jr. crash landing on a barren planet where they have to learn to overcome their hatred for one another and work together to survive. Quaid is a human being while Gossett is a Drac, which is a hermaphroditic reptilian species of alien. Once they overcome hatred and get comfy, they realize there is a bigger threat to the planet in the form of human scavengers that use Dracs as slaves in their mine. Quaid has to save his "nephew"(Gossett's child) when he's captured by the miners. This was a very good film. Gossett's performance as the Drac, "Jerry", is fantastic as well as the Drac makeup. Watching Enemy Mine again is definitely a reminder of how good sci-fi films once were not so long ago.
So, you've seen em, you love em, the price is right, so why the hell not buy em? June 7, 2008
