pentium485 Man two days ago I Just recorded this movie on the channel This and I haven't seen this movie in years. I was so hoping I would see it again because I couldn't find it on tape or online. This movie reminds me of that movie called Date with an angel and kinda reminds me of heaven like the Kingdom of God. I mean it just made me want to get closer with God or at least explore other planets. Man what would that be like? Anyway this is somehow as good as the movie ET but I like this better than ET because it seems to be more real about aliens. I hope they put this out on Tape one day and even if they don't than don't forget I got this movie recorded and if you want to buy a recorded copy from me than remember I can only give you a VHS recorded copy not the official that they don't have.

webcrawler Everyone looking for the film you can catch it on Starz Encore Drama. I get DirecTV so not sure which channel you might find it on cable, but Starz Encore is a good bet. Cute film. What is it about 80s film culture that makes you warm and fuzzy inside? Also, I remember the locations shot around Toronto, Canada. Very nostalgic because these places are much different now, and a few buildings and stores no longer exist. I believe this was a failed TV pilot. There are a few other Canadian based TV shows I have been searching for that were filmed around this time (early 80s). Night Heat, Friday the 13th, and War of Worlds.

Dejael As one reviewer has commented, this film is worth watching just for the luscious, talented Belinda Bauer alone, as the alien, which is a standout; or for James Spader's excellent performance as Boston-Irish Joey Callahan. Both were at the beginning of their careers in the mid-1980s and this film is a highly artistic work which has everything going for it except a dismal special visual effects budget which reduces the credibility of the film, script, characters and actors exponentially.Jeff Bloom's script, direction, with acting, characters, costumes, makeup, performances, art direction, plus edgy electronic music score by Gil Melle are first-rate. With a bigger budget for scope and visual effects, this film could have succeeded as a theatrical feature. Unfortunately, its producers, Charles Fries Productions, cheaped out and made this a good little B-picture which is character-driven instead of effects-laden. Its style and substance make up for the almost nonexistent visual effects, which consist mainly of some early CGI animation which looks like 3-D CAD drawings, standing in for the alien spaceships which are only believable as nocturnal lights, especially at the end.This film was available on VHS videotape in the late 1980s directly from Fries Entertainment, but was discontinued sometime in the early 1990s. As far as I know it has never been reissued on video. The soundtrack score by Gil Melle is worthy of a CD release also.Highly recommended. A 7 out of 10.

Mark Wong As stated before, the film has some decent elements, but just does not quite make it.It has a decent plot, but the film really drags through most of the film. The actors did a decent job, as far as what they had to work with. James Spader was very believable.Although a dull film, it still held my attention to the entire end.
