![]() cool. Steven Spielberg wrote and directed Close Encounters to be a friendly encounter with alien life. Though there is some abduction, you get the impression they were taken for a joyride, not the usual maniacal probing of most other movies. Alien life visits earth and while they're out tooling around the night sky, they run into a few people. Roy Neary [Richard Dreyfuss from What About Bob, and Stand By Me] is one of those people, and now he can't get an image out of his head. He ends up freaking out his wife [Teri Garr from Oh God, Tootsie and Friends], who takes off with the kids. I love when he starts pouring dirt, garbage and bricks in through his kitchen window, then makes a giant sculpture out of it. Once he finds out where the land formation is that he keeps seeing, he heads there. ![]() Meanwhile the government is trying to control the situation by keeping all invitees out. He partners up with Jillian Guiler [Melinda Dillon from Harry And The Hendersons and A Christmas Story], who has the same need to get there. Also great in Close Encounters are famous french director François Truffaut, Bob Balaban [from Seinfeld and Now And Again]. Plus, if you look close you'll see an almost too young to recognize Lance Henriksen [from Near Dark, Pumpkinhead, The Terminator and the Alien series including Aliens vs. Predator]. Most people have seen Close Encounters at least once, if you like Contact or E.T., you'll like this.

![]() It stars one of my favorite actors, Gary Busey [also great in Soldier, The Firm, Lethal Weapon, Silver Bullet and D.C. Cab among others] who plays aging bank robbery detective Angelo Pappas. His other work is great, but Point Break is his best movie. He's put together with up-and-comer, quarterback punk Johnny Utah [Keanu Reeves, also great in The Matrix, Devil's Advocate , the Bill & Ted movies, and Speed among others]. They track a gang called the Ex-Presidents [because of their masks, Reagan, Nixon, Carter and FDR], and evidence leads them to a group of surfers. While Utah is under cover, he befriends zen surfer guru Bohdi [Patrick Swayze, also in Ghost and Donnie Darko]. I'm not usually a Patrick Swayze fan, as a matter of fact this is just ![]() about his only good movie. Then there's Johnny Utah's love interest, Tyler [Lori Petty from Brimstone]. And that is the only weak point in the movie for me, Lori Petty. Could they find a more unattractive girl for the supposedly hot surfer girl in this movie? And I'm not saying looks are everything, but sheesh, they could've done better than her. Other cast members to watch for include Tom Sizemore [from Natural Born Killers, Strange Days, Heat, Saving Private Ryan, Enemy of the State and Dreamcatcher] as an undercover narc, James LeGros [from Phantasm II, Near Dark, Enemy of the State and The Outer Limits], and Jack Kehler [from The Big Lebowski and a ton of tv]. Point Break has some of the most awesome surfing, skydiving, car chase and gunfight scenes, as well as the foot chase I mentioned. Great story, great action, great cast, this is a definite must-see!

![]() alien visitor named Klaatu [Michael Rennie] and his giant robot companion Gort [played by Lock Martin]. Klaatu arrives on earth to warn us that we're on a path to destruction. The monster in this movie isn't the alien or his giant robot, it's the human race. This friendly visit is taken as an invasion by the warmongers in charge of the military, and the paranoia, fear and prejudice of the general population just fuel it all [just watch Bowling For Columbine or Fahrenheit 9/11 and you'll see that situation's worse than ever!]. So Klaatu is now on the run from the jackasses in the government who won't see past their own agendas. He takes on the name of Mr. Carpenter and stays at a boarding house while he figures things out. While there, he befriends ![]() Helen Benson [Patricia Neal] and her son Bobby [Billy Gray]. And gets to a world leading scientist named Barnhardt [Sam Jaffe] with his message. It's frustrating every time I watch, seeing the situation going south on him, but you know things won't go well. Klaatu Barada Nicto is the message he tells the towering Gort, and it's a pop culture reference you'll hear everywhere. This movie's old, but don't wait for them to butcher it with a remake like they do to so many other classics, see this one!

The phrase "Klaatu barada nikto" has become a popular phrase among sci-fi fans over the years and has been featured in other movies The screenplay was based on the story "Farewell to the Master" by Harry Bates.
