Hottie of the Day goes to Twinners Scottie Thompson & Olivia Wilde / Movie Review "Skyline"

We have another set of look-a-likes! Scottie Thompson (Skyline, 2010) and Olivia Wilde (House, TV Series). And they are both amazing and gorgeous. Olivia has been on my Top 10 List for a while. But Scottie is brand new.

Check Scottie out in "Skyline", a 2010 Sci-Fi that also stars Donald Faison from one of my all-time favorite comedy series "Scrubs"... with an exemplary performance by character actor David Zayas.

"Skyline" is my favorite type of Sci-Fi: Scary, edge of your seat alien suspense. If this happened for real... your heart would just effen stop.

Even though it has some elements similar to "War of the Worlds" and "Monsters, 2010 (non-animated, which I also loved)" it is still an original work of art and definitely worth a look. In fact, some scenes are far beyond the ordinary.

Favorite Lines:
"What are you doing, huh? Like it or not this is happening... You gotta be strong."

"They're not dead... just really really pissed off."

Favorite Scene:
The crash... I exclaimed out loud, "This is so COOL!" ...and then the 2nd crash TOPS THAT!


So many unique and interesting camera shots. Bravo!

And the ending? Beyond anything I had ever imagined. The Brothers Strause, WOW, you guys are amazing. In fact, I'm looking forward to seeing it AGAIN.

Overall I have to say that I LOVED IT! Highly recommended.


Available now on Netflix instant play.

Movie Reviews: "Monsters" 2010 (Non-animated) Horror Sci Fi Alien

Wow! I can hardly believe I found this under Sci Fi/Horror (on Netflix's Instant Play section).

Amazing cinematography. Exquisite creative scenery. Very believable.

The female lead, Whitney Able, is a young Cameron Diaz. Find images here:

And her co-star, Scoot McNairy, reminded us of Andy on WEEDS.

The pre-scenes show the possibilities. But then it moves so slowly, with such intensity, that you're still on the edge of your seat. My hat's off to Gareth Edwards (both writer and director).  There are continual scapes of destruction, aftermath that forebodes, that makes you wonder... where? when?

A subtle romance that links to a stunning end. Nicely done.

The creatures? Well... let's just say that it's a better remake of H.G. Wells "War of the Worlds", better than Spielberg's 2005 creation with Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning.

Best Line: "I feel like... if anyone were here, we'd smell 'em."

More character study than horror but still... my favorite Sci Fi/Horror so far this year.
