Lifeforce (1985)
A bit messy and incoherent
This movie tries hard to be entertaining and even though the special effects are great and very much believable it doesn't make up for the fact that it falls flat on its intended mission of delivering a feeling of interest and awe. The film, simply put, is very confusing, at times looking like a typical sci-fi film, at others edging on the cheap and overactive style of pornographic entertainment, not to mention that the idea of space vampires sounds very dull and unimaginative. I honestly felt rather dismayed that the dread of seeing someone being attacked by a monster wasn't there and instead seemed like a modern cash grab and not for viewers with more sophisticated tastes. I was also uncomfortable at the idea of watching it alongside company, once again due to its odd and misplaced erotic turn. I do not recommend it, being one of the rare instances of 80's films that fail to engage and surprise.
Tales from the Far Side II (1997)
Fantastic animation
These cartoons are for the person who is tired of the same things and wants a surreal look at the world. Animated in the widely known style of Gary Larson, this series will not disappoint a real Far Side fan. Filled of the great satire of these classic comic drawings, anyone who misses these series should watch it, as it carries the typical humor known to the lover of these comics throughout the series. Deeply involving a diverse outlook of life. The only downside I can see is a consistent similarity, but for someone who truly likes the series it shouldn't be a problem. Nostalgic, lovely and very original. For the lover of the macabre with a lighthearted twist.
