waterman1976

I started to watch this (again) in 2021, expecting a trip down to memorylane with a few good laughs and a decent shot of nostalgia, but I had a blast watching this. Yes it's old and the writing of the plots is a bit corny, but the character of ALF is so well written... he's ruthless, manipulating, dominating and everything you don't want in a houseguest, but it's so funny. His relationship with Willie is always good for a laugh, also due to the acting qualities of Max Wright.

I didn't remember how the show ends, so there was my only disappointment, but still: ALF is 4 seasons of good, innocent fun with an alien.

This is a perfect movie. The script, the cast, the score, the camerawork... it's a perfect storm. And since iMBD demands that a review is at least 150 characters, I added this last sentence.

I didn't know this was a remake of an earlier movie so no comparison here, but for me this is a good movie. Denzel Washington scores high on my list of all time greats and he doesn't dissapoint in this movie. His paranoia, focus and overall likeability keeps the viewer entertained from beginning till the end. The movie itself has a great premise and although it feels farfetch'd with the use of technology it carries an energy of paranoia, suspense and believability throughout. If they've kept it purely with the whole hypnosis thing it would have been more believable I guess. But the script is great, it has some good eery moments and the whole cast with Washington,Streep and Schreiber as the main leads is fantastic. I love this era of moviemaking, where actors were more true actors somehow. The camerawork with its full closeups is also great. I enjoyed this flick and in my opinion it desesrves more then the 6.6 here in iMBD.
