...most surprising hit of the summer remains, thankfully, COCOON (Sack Copley Place). In a year where the average aged screen star probably wouldn't get served at the Metro, this touching movie shows, for a change, that not all that is heart-warming must fit on a toy shelf for Christmas shoppers. Even Dewitt gets his grandparents the old-fashioned way: he gets born with them. No plot line, no acting critique for this one, just see it yourself...

...wouldn't it be nice if the science-fantasy genre, recently festooned with cotton-candy aliens and the air of suburban benevolence, could be refreshed by making contact with the laws of dramatic gravity? As it happens, Cocoon has many familiar elements: it could be called E.T. Meets the Over-the-Hill Gang, or On Golden Pod.
