BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET, THE(1984)
In the set: 100 Greatest Sci-Fi Classics
This is pretty weird! A man suddenly appears
in Harlem and apparently is either deaf or
can't talk! Turns out he's THE BROTHER FROM
ANOTHER PLANET!! A black dude who has powers
such as making electrical items work, hearing
voices in places that aren't there any more
and healing people!! And there's even Men In
Black out after him! One thing that's really
neet is all the old video games they show
throughough the show!! C
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Considering Sayles shot this as a pick-up
piece to give himself something to do while
waiting for financing of "Matewan," this
is a remarkable film. It doesn't have the
production values or amazingly well-crafted
writing I've come to expect from Sayles, but
it is still interesting and amusing. - TheMrLee
