The Mighty Celestial

An alien being comes down to Earth, morphs into a human form in order to understand our species & then begins a race against time to meet with his star-faring rendevous party before the government military can get it's hands on him/it. But not before he/it can get a girl pregnant.
Simply put,

Jeff Bridges is a rather amazing actor and I would watch any of his movies, anytime. This time again, I really shines in this movie with an impressive performance. Many other actors would have been ridiculous but not Mr Bridges. The movie is also very well directed by the always competent John Carpenter. Furthermore, it is a rather standard Science-Fiction tale about a friendly alien but I thought... read more

Greatest Film Tearjerking Moments Q - Z (51 movies items)

"The eloquent speech by dying alien Starman (Oscar nominated Jeff Bridges) to scientist Mark Shermin (Charles Martin Smith) while trapped in federal custody in a restaurant: "We are... interested in your species...You are a strange species, not like any other -- and you would be surprised how many there are. Intelligent but savage. Shall I tell you what I find beautiful about you? You are at your very best when things are worst"; and Starman's farewell to hostage-turned-lover Jenny Hayden (Karen "

Films and the critics who hate them (732 movies items)

"It isn't pleasant to watch a talented filmmaker like John Carpenter willfully distort his personality to fit a commercial (read Spielbergian) profile, and only the opening suspense-horror sequences have the weight of real involvement. - Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader"

Movie Reviews (part 5) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: The chemistry between Karen Allen and Jeff Bridges that drives the movie. John Carpenter's simple but effective direction and use of music. The Downs: The use of forced humor. The script is basically just a rehash of E.T., but with sex added."
