Decoys, a review by Rich

Title: Decoys

Movie Count:16  
TV Ep. Count:13  

Runtime:96
Certificate:R
Year:2004
Genres:Horror, Science-Fiction, Comedy

Plot:Some students aren't exactly what they seem to be in DECOYS, a sci-fi/horror adventure starring Kim Poirier (Dawn of the Dead), Richard Burgi (Starship Troopers 2), Corey Sevier (TV's "North Shore") and Nicole Eggert (TV's "Baywatch").
If college coeds Lily and Constance look like two out-of-this-world blonde beauties, that's because they're actually intergalactic space invaders with a mission: to breed with humans before taking over the Earth. And even though the girls' mating skills have proven fatal to their victims, they keep on trying. So when Luke, a hard-partying freshman, accidentally witnesses the shapely shape-shifters in their full-bodied alien state, he knows it's up to him to save the planet before he truly gets wasted.

My Review:
Absolutely bonkers comedy/scifi or is it horror of sorts??? Still it was pretty amusing with a bevy of bikini clad lizards in blonde get-ups seducing the local college fraternity to respawn. Unluckily for the guys, they die after the magic moment from a tentacle that shoots out of the womens navel down their throats 
The cast actually work well together with good chemistry, and the effects again were surprisingly effective. Reminded me a lot of the faculty, with a bit of species and the craft thrown in.
Cool ending!

Summary:
Guinevere Pettigrew (Frances McDormand), a middle-aged London governess, finds herself unfairly dismissed from her job. An attempt to gain new employment catapults her into the glamorous world and dizzying social whirl of an American actress and singer, Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams).

My thoughts:My rating (out of possible 5)

Caroline in the City Marathon, a review by Tom

Caroline and the Convict (1995-12-07)
Writer: Ellen Idelson, Rob Lotterstein
Director: Rod Daniel
Cast: Lea Thompson (Caroline), Eric Lutes (Del), Malcolm Gets (Richard), Amy Pietz (Annie), Tim Conlon (Stephen), David Byrd (Officer Bloch), Tom La Grua (Remo), Jimm Giannini (Bum)

A good episode. This series is at its best when doing a lot of sarcastic comments by Richard.



Caroline and the Christmas Break (1995-12-14)
Writer: Michelle Nader, Amy Cohen
Director: James Burrows
Cast: Lea Thompson (Caroline), Eric Lutes (Del), Malcolm Gets (Richard), Amy Pietz (Annie), Andy Lauer (Charlie), Tom La Grua (Remo), Lauren Graham (Shelly), Lorna Luft (Travel Agent)

In this episode Del and Caroline break up and first real signs are shown, that maybe there something between Richard and Caroline. This starts the love-triangle (and later quadrangle) story-arc which will be a major factor in the series as far as I remember.



Caroline and the Gift (1996-01-04)
Writer: Bill Prady
Director: James Burrows
Cast: Lea Thompson (Caroline), Eric Lutes (Del), Malcolm Gets (Richard), Amy Pietz (Annie), Tom La Grua (Remo), Keene Curtis (Mr. Davies), Fabiana Udenio (Donna), Wesley Thompson (Det. Sgt. Weld), Robert Miano (Pauly Brown), Andy Buckley (Rob Rothman)

Richard is painting a nude portrait of a mobster's girlfriend. An okay episode.



See, I am already at a point where I only say "This episode was good", "It was an okay episode" and similar stuff
