I'm a sci-fi geek so I was all over this one. Good film out of South Africa about alien forced occupation in a Johannesburg ghetto. (via D-9)

I enjoyed this movie and although it's not one of M. Night Shamalayan's best, it has what I would dare to say is one of the best suspense scenes in cinema. That's a big accomplishment. It's the scene where Joaquin Pheonix's character is watching tv in the closet. I won't ruin it for you, just watch it. (via Amazon)

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension

When I was a kid, I wanted to be just like Bukaroo Bonzai, a stylish, space and time traveling neurosurgeon, particle physicist and rock star. The movie stars Peter Weller (Robocop), Jeff Goldblum (The Fly) and John Lithgow (Third Rock from the Sun). Super fum movie! (via Amazon)

Galaxy Quest

4 people recommended this item

Description

Surprise surprise! Galaxy Quest is actually a good movie. Tim Allen aside, its got a cast of super talented actors (Tony Shaloub, Allen Rickman, Sam Rockwell, Daryl Martin, Enrico Colantoni and Sigourney Weaver).
The film is a light hearted, action adventure romp that takes a tongue in cheek jab at the sci fi genre and subculture of 'Trekkies'. Fun movie you should actually make time to see. (via Amazon)

Little Shop of Horrors

First to recommend

Description

Little Shop of Horrors is about a man eating, alien plant who's ravenous appetite must be satiated. This horror, comedy, movie musical is outstanding! It's full of great, campy musical numbers and ghoulish carnage. Steve Martin is amazing as a sadistic dentist and bullying boyfriend. (via Amazon)

This allstar ensemble film lives up to true Tim Burton expectations. Bizzare and eccentric dark comedy filled with quirky characters. Great movie! (via Amazon)
