Dark Skies is a movie that does not seem to have any aspirations. It arrived in theaters with little fanfare. As a matter of fact, I kept forgetting that it was even coming out. Every time I saw the trailer play, the same thought entered my head: "Oh yeah, I forgot about that." I know, not terribly dramatic, but it is not a film that left much of a mark during the advertising campaign. As it stands, the movie did not leave all that much if a mark at all, so guess it really doesn't matter how effective, or not, the advertising was.
This Sci-Fi Invasion box set challenge is getting tougher by the moment. Four movies in and I kind of want to claw my eyes out, or at least take a nap. It is times like this where my enjoyment of B-cinema is seriously tested. This movie is called The Eyes Behind the Stars and it is a really good cure for insomnia, taking a couple of attempts to make through to the end. My first attempt ended with about a half hour to go when I thought I blinked and found myself staring at the disk's main menu, wondering what happened.
