Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same (2012)

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

A couple of reviewers here - no offence guys - seem to have had a humour bypass.This movie is a delight.Yes of course the FX are ridiculous - they make no attempt to be realistic. In fact it's obvious they've gone out of their way (at times) to make them ridiculous. If you don't laugh at the ludicrous spacecraft then I think you're missing the point.The script and acting are top-notch, with some wonderfully laugh-out-loud moments and the movie accomplishes the rare feat of matching wacky sketch-show type comedy with moments of real tenderness and charm. The writing for the two men in black in particular is fabulous, and their performances are right on the money. Actually all the performances are excellent, especially the female lead (Lisa Haas). We loved it so much we watched it twice within a couple of days. Highly recommended.

Inhabitants of an alien planet decide that their ozone depletion can only be solved by one or two of their race having their hearts broken. Zoinx and Zylar are dispatched to Earth to have their hearts broken. Zoinx meets Jane and eventually gets to know her somewhat.Two men-in-black types observe this process, and attempt to blur the memories of any sightings. It seems, though, that no intervention is needed; nobody notices anything in this film.Jokes are made about new foods: alcoholic beverages, coffee, desserts. Jokes are made about culture clashes. All jokes failed.The aliens go home by means that challenge the lower bounds of all SFX. This was one of the worst SFX films ever made. In the right hands, that might have been funny.-----Scores-----Cinematography: 2/10 Greyscale, so-so in quality. The quality dropped off when the camera work switched to shaky cam.Sound: 2/10 Irritating electronic music. Irritating alien voices. Irritating background rap music.Acting: 0/10Screenplay: 0/10 Nothing comedic, nothing engaging, nothing informative, nothing touching.

CODEPENDANT LESBIAN SPACE ALIEN SEEKS THE SAME 2012 Madeleine Olnek. * This American piece of garbage resembles less of a film school project and more of a badly filmed kindergarten project. Olnek wrote it (if you can believe anyone did) and directed. It is a spoof sc-fi where female aliens come from another world to have their hearts broken in order to save the ozone level of their planet that is being depleted by too much emotion. (It is eventually discovered that the cause of the depletion is actually sun light reflecting off their bald heads). Now why they are lesbians is never explained. Neither is the fact that the aliens who have landed are tracked by 2 male undercover secret agents who are monitoring aliens, one of whom is an alien himself. One of the female aliens falls in love with a fat bespectacled lesbian, however when they make love they touch noses (so at least we are saved anything graphic). The earth lesbian is sad an pathetic and can't bear to lose the only person who even gave her love so gets on board the alien ships (that resembles a baking tin made of foil). That's the feeble plot, the script is even worse, the acting abysmal, all the aliens speak like automatons and the filming/photography static, added to which the special effects make Blake 7 look cutting edge. Oh and it's marketed as being funny. The humour was as absent as any scientific plausibility.

Caught this at the Provincetown film festival. It's in black and white and a parody of old 1950s sci-fi movies. It deals with the adventures of space aliens on Earth. It mostly concentrates on the relationship between lesbian Jane (Lisa Haas) and one of the female aliens.I won't lie--I saw this just because of the title:) At first I loved it. I laughed long and loud through the first half--but was dead silent through the second half. Basically ALL the jokes you can think of with that plot (and title) are exhausted and then the movie has nowhere to go. Also I STILL can't figure out what the subplot of the two government agents has to do with anything. Still this movie is not a washout. There's some truly beautiful black and white cinematography here so there's always something to look at. Also actress Haas was just great in her role. And, as I said, I had a great time for half the movie. So I give it a marginal recommendation.
