Movie Reviews of They Live
Movie Review: Realy love this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
It's hard to write about this movie to those who haven't seen it. It's one of those films you either love, or you look at with an odd expression and say "huh?" to. Yes, it's sci fi, and yes, it's comedy. There are lots of little political and social jokes that run through the plot, but there's also a great deal of amusement. I'm not going to say that everyone will love this movie, but if you are a fan of sci-fi/comedy, pro wrestler 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, alien conspiracies,and a slow-heavy blues bassline theme music kinda movies, see They Live. Packed with a hefty supply of cult classic one-liners like "I've come here to chew bubble gum and kick ---, and I'm all outta bubble gum", They Live is a great film.Movie Review: Worth it for the fight scene alone!
Summary: 5 Stars
I definitely am biased as this is one of my favorite movies since childhood. However, if you purchase this movie I guarentee you won't be upset.
"They Live" just screams "B Movie" but the cast all do a great job. The movie itself is nowhere near realistic and is kind of ridiculous to be honest, but I think that's why it's so great. It's entertaining, has a ton of catch phrases, lots of action, and a ridiculous 10 minute fight scene that was popular enough to be ridiculed move-by-move in the TV show South Park (as "Cripple Fight"). If you don't laugh during that fight scene you need to see a psychologist
Do yourself a favor and buy this movie now!
Movie Review: John Carpenter's "They Live"
Summary: 5 Stars
John Nada is an unemployed man who doesn't have anything to do, so he tries to find ways to entertain himself throughout the day. Eventually, he finds a job and a place to stay, and one day, he finds a pair of sunglasses that allow him to see the world the way that it truly is. He discovers that most of the people he encounters are aliens, and most of them are important members of society. He also discovers that people are being bombared by the media and the government, with such hidden messages as: "Stay asleep", "No imagination", and "Submit to authority". Now John must find the people who created the sunglasses and help them fight against the aliens.Movie Review: Simply Awesome.
Summary: 5 Stars
John Carpenter shows his amazing creativity once again. From the creator of the greatest horror film ever made "Halloween" comes They Live. This movie is awesome, it shows society and culture as what it really is with the help of special glasses, it also shows who is human and who is alien. The way they show the world through the glasses is how I see the world anyhow minus the aliens, so I related to this film very well. The story is awesome, the effects are awesome, the aliens look great and the actors are perfect. Roddy Piper is actually a really good actor and made this movie great.
Simply awesome movie from John Carpenter.
Movie Review: DAWN OF THE ALIEN
Summary: 5 Stars
They Live had a definite Dawn of the Dead feel to it but was definitely not a Dawn rip off.Rowdy Roddy Piper finds a pair of "special" sunglasses that gives him the ability to see yuppies for what they really are; aliens out to take over the world. Unfortunately he is the only one with these special shades so he tries to convince his buddy to put the glasses on, and the fight scene that insues is easily one of the best fight scenes in movie history.For all of you out there who think that proffessional wrestlers can't act, get either They Live or the Rundown and you will probably have a change of heart.
