The Eye Creatures (1967)
It's Funny Because They Have Lots of Eyes!
"The Eye Creatures" is based on the slightly less ridiculous 1957 movie "Invasion of the Saucer Men," and is less an homage as an exact carbon copy, reproducing basically the same characters, scenes and lines, only worse. The one chance that "Eye Creatures" had at improving over the original involves the monsters and the way they are defeated (not to give anything away) but is squandered with the poor production values present. Eye creatures wearing only the mask of their outfit, or running around is comfortable tennis shoes destroy any possibility of respect for this film. Luckily this movie is short enough to be amusing, without stretching on into grating. Best watched on Mystery Science Theater, if possible.
Mother 2: Gîgu no gyakushuu (1994)
The Ultimate RPG For the SNES
It doesn't matter what language, Earthbound/Mother 2 (and apparently Okâsân 2) is the best role playing game for the Super Nintendo. Instead of playing in a medieval or futuristic world of magic and fantasy, Earthbound takes place right here at home on present day Earth, where an evil alien force called Giygas is determined to take over the world. No sooner does a message from the future arrive fortelling the destruction of Earth then Ness, our unlikely hero with strong PSI powers, sets out to prevent armageddon. Armed with a baseball bat and his mind, Ness must journey through a vast world, encountering strange people, meeting new friends, and defeating evil influences that are already making themselves known. Earthbound has a fast paced story line and a quirky sense of humor, which more than make up for the graphics (which are nothing to write home about). Great music and awesome battles add to the combo leaving you wishing the game would never end. Though it may seem like a kid's game at first, it is quite a challenge and is interesting no matter what your age. So if you're sick of all the other video games, try Earthbound: A totally different and excellent experience.
