Starman [Blu-ray] Specifications
While most movie buffs are likely to call Halloween the best movie from John Carpenter, others--die-hard romantics and anyone who cried while watching E.T.--might vote in favor of the director's 1984 hit Starman. It's easily Carpenter's warmest and most beguiling film, and the only one that ever earned an Oscar nomination. That honor went specifically to Best Actor nominee Jeff Bridges for his performance as an alien visitor to Earth who is knocked off course and must take an interstate road trip to rendezvous with a mothership from his home planet. To complete this journey he assumes the physical form of the dead husband of a Wisconsin widow (Karen Allen) who responds first with fear, then sympathy, and finally love. Carpenter's graceful strategy is to switch the focus of this E.T.-like film from science fiction to a gentle road-movie love story, made believable by the memorable performances of Bridges and Allen. It's a bit heavy-handed with tenacious government agents who view the Starman as an alien threat (don't they always?), but Carpenter handles the action with intelligent flair, sensitivity, and lighthearted humor. If you're not choked up during the final scene, well, you just might not be human. --Jeff Shannon
Horror Movies Customer Reviews
Starman I saw not long after it came out and always be remembered as bittersweet story was and how great were the main actors. I recently bought and watched it again and it's still a great movie and it's aged well. The background story and the acting is so good. It is not a movie to watch when you're PMS-ing. I choked at several points and it was a disaster for the end. Only a great chick film to add to your collection.
Get it, you wont regret it...... - Michael Manganaro - Quincy MassachusettsGreat movie for a long time ago, some funny scenes, great story line you want to watch this until the end, then maybe again, my favorite scene that puts a lump in my throat is the scene of deer.
Be Patient; Don't Buy Fullscreen - M. LaBin - TX USAJohn Carpenter is known only to shoot in anamorphic widescreen (except for his work on TV rare). He is a master of the 16:9 aspect ratio and scale plays an important role in his films. Why is this in fullscreen is anyone guess. And why did not the director's commentary - which is already available in Europe - is really weird. This is a strange movie for Carpenter, but he pulled out well ... worth a serious look but it is also worth waiting for a widescreen version that keeps so you can see all thefilm that contains the comment and usually helpful.
STARMAN - I. Sherry - Sydney , AustraliaStarman is the best, felt the same as when I saw Avatar, a beautiful love story, action, and is also ashamed of being human.
