Dead Weekend (1995)

- written January 2009

Summary: Weed and Payne are members of the government’s police force and they’ve evacuated much of the surrounding area so they can find an alien which just landed there. However the criminal element in the city has stayed behind to loot! And if it isn’t about getting into firefights with the bad guys, it’s all about finding out what makes this alien tick. And for her, it’s about having sex with anyone and everyone she can!           Overall: I think the film’s entire point was to just have naked women and Stephen Baldwin on screen as much as possible. And trust me, you see a lot of Stephen Baldwin naked! The plot tells us the alien sex goddess can transform into any type of woman so pretty much you have Baldwin getting it on with 6 different women of various races, creeds, etc. I think the movie is just so silly because from moment one he’s getting it on with her, knows she’s an alien and doesn’t care, outside of falling in love with her. The whole government versus bad things thing is actually hardly elaborated on and for the most part, there were lots of interesting ideas that never got follow up with. They had too much sex, not enough plot. I think the performance of David Rasche as “Payne” was the most interesting because at least he had some great lines, smacking Baldwin around when he realized he was sleeping with the alien. Now if we could only figure out what the point of the movie was!           Comparison: Starman meets Busty Cops
