Broog: Alien Film Critic - I've seen plenty of sites prefaced with the words "imagine an Alien came to earth and met a cow/heard Cherie Blair singing/landed in Iraq....etc. Sadly the opening premise often proves to be the most amusing part of the site.
In this instance the Alien in question goes to the movies - presumably with the ubquitous tub of popcorn - and has a ball. The reviews are amusing and informative but you never forget that Broog ain't from round here.....
A sample from a review of "I Robot":
This is a movie of contradictions. There is so much product placement that the flick occasionally takes on the character of an ad break. The opening sequence touting branded footwear is so desperate as to verge on the tragic, and since it has no consequences in the film, Broog can only assume that the company in question paid through the secondary respiratory orifice for that much up front time. Your critic cordially hopes that the investment cripples their budget for the year and leads to those responsible being sold to him in burlap sacks for use as ballast.
