High Plains Drifter (1973)
Outstanding western with excellent an story telling quality
This in my humble opinion is perhaps one of the all time best westerns that I have ever seen. The story is very solid and still makes perfect sense today. The characters motivations are very relate-able and make perfect sense. There is the right amount of story line, plot, character development and action for an almost seamless blend. There is enough comedy to balance out the violence and there is a great morale to the story as well.of negative reviews of this movie are from people who did not understand that it wasn't ever meant to be a realistic straight forward formulate western. It was meant to be a fun kind of parody on them and that is why the characters are stereotyped and over acting to make this humorous. I really can't think of a more enjoyable and entertaining combination of all of these particular elements in any other western. in any. I can't recommend this film highly enough.
Area 51 Confidential (2011)
Disappointing
This movie follows the same genre as all of the rest of the "Alien" movies. These are just worn out clichés that really destroy any critical thinking about Area 51 and the formally top secret government military installation and "aliens" in general. This particular movie is neither interesting nor entertaining because it is just the same as all the rest. The movie poster art is very cool however. This is fortunately listed as a work of fiction which is all it truly is, but I just wish that they could have added some more realism to make the story more believable. Sooner or later somebody has got to put out a much better art project on Area 51 for the public to ponder and not just keep using the same old boring format.
Dreamland: Area 51 (1996)
Typical treatment of a serious military installation
Area 51, Groom-lake, Dreamland, The Ranch, whatever you prefer to call it is really an actual top secret government military base where they really do test top secret ultra high technology military hardware weapons in secret away from the public's prying eyes. This important part of the story is a fact not and not fiction. Just because this much is true and that it is meant to be kept a secret does not mean that it is all right to go ahead and create your own fantasy about "aliens" and extraterrestrial flying saucers and make whatever ridiculous nonsense up that you want and still call it this film a serious "documentary". These purported "experts" are all basically just plain frauds telling the same old tired worn out alien cliché story over again and never even once conceding the even remote possibility that these are actually man made craft using man made technologies. But instead they are all just insisting that all of this technology comes from another race of beings in another solar system altogether and perpetuating their myths by selling the public some very mediocre and not even mildly entertaining consumable garbage with all of their scientific babble and pseudo scientific thinking. They would have been far better off by just calling this film a total science fiction fantasy and gone all out with the special effects by having the aliens just pop out of no where and actually physically abducting Bob "The Fake" Lazaar during his "interview" and transporting him to Zeta Reticula where he belongs so they could do some physical experiments with him because maybe that's what happened to him in the first place to make him so strange to begin with. This would have made this film much better and I would have given it a much higher rating.
