Simply an old story with a fresh coat of paint on it, this 1988 film - directed by Graham Baker ("Omen III: The Final Conflict") and written by Rockne S. O'Bannon (the TV series "Farscape") - starts off with an interesting sci-fi premise/concept, but doesn't take long before it turns into the standard old police drama. Featuring an "odd couple" pair of cops who initially don't like, trust, and/or want to be with each other, but eventually learn to overcome their differences, prejudices, and/or ignorance to save the day once they uncover a bigger wrongdoing/danger then they were initially investigating, the film recycles too many clichés from the cop drama genre when it should have been offering new and exciting (or at least different) material from the "aliens have landed on Earth" angle.

Despite the initial premise, obvious symbolism of tenuous race relations in Los Angeles at the time (which still hold true today), and the film's impressive technical look (at least for the time when it was released), the picture simply retreads the familiar and thus isn't terribly exciting or compelling.

Not even the presence and performances of Caan ("Misery," "Honeymoon in Vegas"), Patinkin ("The Princess Bride," TV's "Chicago Hope") or the usually terrific Terrence Stamp ("The Limey," "Wall Street"), as the story's villain, are enough to elevate the film above its pedestrian and mostly unimaginative script. Nonetheless, it impressed someone enough that it led to a short-lived TV series of the same name.

An interesting premise that probably would have worked better in novel form rather than on the big screen - and no doubt owes some credit to the original "Star Trek" TV series for using the same sort of sci-fi symbolism to show how Earthlings should be able to get along if those from different planets can do the same - the film had a decent technical look in its day, but now seems dated and antiquated.

After a decent setup, the basic story and plot - as helmed by director Petersen ("The Perfect Storm," "Air Force One") who works from the screenplay by Edward Khmara ("Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story") - becomes a bit too goofy, ridiculous and ultimately "touchy feely" for its own good.

While the picture has its share of intriguing moments, the sight of Oscar winner Louis Gossett Jr. ("An Officer and a Gentleman," the "Iron Eagle" films) in his alien lizard makeup undermines most of them and makes one wonder what he and his agent and/or manager were thinking. With Dennis Quaid ("Frequency," "The Big Easy) delivering his usual, solid work, the film no doubt probably has as many admirers as it does detractors, but there's no denying that the predictable and trite story is its weakest link.

They have much in common - too much in fact - she has eight kids and he has ten, and when they tie the knot, anarchy reigns in the Beardsley-North merger. The opposing camps of stepsiblings do all they can to sabotage each other and their parent's union. But, through it all, mother lovingly cares for her "troops," while father coaches his coming-of-age kids in more delicate matters, and resentment soon gives way to respect and something bigger than anyone could have imagined.

If that sounds vaguely familiar to the little TV ditty that starts out, "Here's the story, of a lovely lady…" that's because this 1968 film predated the TV show, "The Brady Bunch" by just one year. While the number of kids in the TV show was pared down from eighteen to six, the premise is essentially the same, as is much of the basis of humor. Yet, the film - while still family oriented - wasn't as whitewashed as the TV show, thus allowing for some more "risqué" material (okay, at least for the time, nowadays it seems positively quaint) and some humorous or generally amusing bits.

Working from Helen Eileen Beardsley's book, "Who Gets the Drumsticks?" writer/director Melville Shavelson ("Houseboat" and "The Seven Little Foys," both of which earned him Oscar nominations for his scripts for them) and co-writer Mort Lachman ("Mixed Company") set up and execute some funny and heartfelt moments, as well as elicit decent comedic performances from Lucille Ball (at the time her 4th TV series, "Here's Lucy," was beginning its 7 year run) and Henry Fonda ("On Golden Pond," "The Grapes of Wrath") as the parents.

While some of the material is dated and thus no longer politically correct, for those looking for an old-fashioned family comedy that most of the whole family can enjoy together, you could do far worse than what this film offers.

For years, these two opposite groups remain in a delicate balance. Until Zed (Connery), a superior, quick-witted Brutal, finds his way into the Vortex. The jolting class between brute nature and pure intellect sets the society of the Eternals on an entirely new course and opens the way for a more balanced world to follow.

Set in the year 2293 and written and directed by John Boorman ("Deliverance, "The Tailor of Panama"), this 1974 flick has the look and feel of many sci-fi films from that era that mixed warnings about the "shape of things to come" (as was the case with other such films like "Planet of the Apes" and "Logan's Run") with straightforward entertainment elements.

Filmed on a reported budget of just $1 million, the effects - and overall picture, for that matter - look dated and occasionally somewhat cheesy, despite what was probably an impressive looking production back in its day. Really only notable for the presence of screen legend Sean Connery - who was still trying to shake off his James Bond stereotyping (he last appeared in 1971's "Diamonds Are Forever") and is probably somewhat embarrassed nowadays by appearing in it - this film isn't bad enough to put you to sleep, but it's clearly not the best example of sci-fi storytelling from its time.
