" First Viewing Viewing Date: February 18th Via: Apple TV Plot: Aliens help a feisty old New York couple in their battle against the ruthless land developer who's out to evict them. Rating: 7.3/10 Why Did I Watch It? I always enjoy checking out classic '80s movies, especially when Steven Spielberg was a producer."

“This film is full of tenderness, love, emotions and nostalgia. For someone born in the 1950s, they have seen entire neighborhoods of their youth disappear to make way for architectural horrors. Promoters don't care that you spent your life in happy times. Lunches that weren't fast food dirt yet but still real food, the coffee didn't come out of a machine. The film is entertaining and makes you dream; the little living flying saucers are really endearing. the various characters in the house are played to perfection by the actors. I find the general rating quite severe.” read more

"Re-watch - April 5th Talked the kiddo into watching this with me, and while she was initially kinda bored with it the moment the aliens showed up she was into it. So overall she enjoyed it, which I figured she would. My thoughts on it are much the same as they were the last time I watched it 3 years ago. "
