Review of Starman (1984) by Conner R — 18 Dec 2010
I finally accomplished seeing this in widescreen and it made all the difference. Being plagued with crapping pan&scan full screen versions forever, John Carpenter's alien masterpiece hasn't been truly seen for years.
It's an amazing movie about aliens and totally unique for wen it came out; being a complete 360 from ET. Jeff Bridges is all kinds of crazy as an alien who sings "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and plays sick games on Karen Allen by emulating her dead husband.
In many ways this is like a modern day Superman, showing how he would be treated in the real world. However, there's something so special about this that isn't borrowed of relatable to any other movie.
It's definitely amongst my favorites now.
