Resident Alien - The Complete First Season

The First Season of Resident Alien introduces us to Alan Tudyk, who also narrates every episode, playing a stranded alien who has taken the identity of Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle living isolated outside the small town of Patience, Colorado. After being dragged in to town to help solve the death of the town’s doctor (Jan Bos), and later become roped in to taking his place by Mayor Ben Hawthorne (Levi Fiehler), Harry’s time is spent awkwardly attempting to fit in while also frantically searching for both a device from his spaceship (lost in the crash) and the body of the real Harry before any humans stumble upon either of them.

Upgraded

Upgraded is one of those films that makes you pity those involved in the production who will have to wear the stain of being a part of the film on the career resume like a scarlet letter until the end of time. The braindead romcom (apparently unaware its stealing random characters directly from Cinderella) offers almost no examples of a normally-functioning human being on-screen. If this is what it feels like to be upgraded, leave me in coach.

Desperately Seeking Susan

Hanging together by a number of coincidences and chance events, 1985’s Desperately Seeking Susan plays of the rising popularity of Madonna in her first film role as the bohemian drifter Susan and Rosanna Arquette as the bored housewife mistaken for her leading to a farcical thriller concerning some stolen Egyptian earrings neither women realize are worth enough to kill for. Despite Arquette getting the much larger role, much of the marketing featured more on Madonna playing on the musician’s popularity and first on-screen role.
