Morgan Freeman should make a film better but alas he can't save this. We gots our psychic, we gots us some aliens and we gots us some plot points I really can't figure out. A group of boys save another mentally challenged boy from some bullies. They stay friends into adulthood. The four men are on a road trip up in the snowy mountains when alien's land.
Freeman plays the insane commander of the army guys fighting the aliens. It just got weird. No wonder, they took their cue from Stephen King.

Again with the aliens. Only this time it's shot shaky cam style. UGH. We see some friend's at a going away party and then explosions and destruction happens. We don't see much for the first two thirds of the film, then we get flashes of crab like creatures attacking people and giant stompy things. I'm not a fan of horror, but this has it's scary moments so it earned a better than dog rating.

An actor becomes obsessed with his role as Othello and murders a girl believing she is Desdemona. Look for a young Shelley Winters. I wish I'd had a lot more set up of why this guy got so carried away. I felt cheated out of his motive.

A Taiwanese cop fights a mystic cult. Really, that's about all there is to this film. We're left to figure out what's really happening in this surreal flick. Oh, it has David Morse in it. He plays an FBI agent send in to help figure out what's going on.
