4 out of 5 stars LIQUID SKY    October 18, 2008
Robert F. Powers (Quincy, Ma USA)

'LIQUID SKY' is one of the most irritating, weird and oddly watchable movies ever made. Centered around the underground world of Margaret played by Anne Carlisle, a heroin-soaked fashion model but fashions more suited to Barnum @ Bailey than Park Avenue. Heroin hungry aliens in a pie-plate sized saucer land on Margarets rooftop because the aliens have discovered a heroin-like substance is secreted in the brain at the point of orgasm and Margaret unknowingly dispatches a few donors to the aliens thirst. Each victim is left with a crystal obelisk imbedded deep into their skull-the meaning of the obelisk? Who knows? But in this movie-you just accept it.

Margaret shares her apartment with a vile, foul-mouthed gnome played by Paula Sheppard who is a heroin-pusher and a bizzaro performance artist who performs a rant about the joys of her "rhythm box".

An Alien chasing German scientist arrives by plane in NYC to stake out the activities on Margarets rooftop. How he tracked the aliens in Ny from Germany is never explained. He finds a willing assistant in a Jewish matron who lives across from Margarets apartment building. In one of the most amusing scenes the woman phones in a take-out order from a Chinese restaurant and she orders every item from column A and column B as long as the items contain shrimp.

Margaret soon catches on to the demise of her sex partners and begins to seek revenge on her tormentors including a rapist and a gay fashion model named Jimmy also acted by Anne Carlisle and during a fashion shoot in her apartment she performs a "service" for Jimmy and of course Jimmy ends up with the crystal obelisk in his head. She wanders onto her rooftop more heroin soaked than usual and is sucked into the aliens saucer which then takes off in search of a new supply of heroin.

The film is so heroin obsessed that it pictures the Empire State Building with its reed-thin radio antenna, looking like a humongous hypodermic needle.

This film is definetly not for everyone but if you have a taste for the unusual and yes, very strange and have a lot of patience, you may find the movie worth watching..........but it is bizarre!

4 out of 5 stars Punk rockers and UFOs    December 3, 2007
J. P. Cunningham Jr. (Atlanta, GA)
A very quirky movie about the punk rock scene in New York in the 80s. A flying saucer thrown in for good measure.


5 out of 5 stars wonderfully special and brave still    April 6, 2007
Brigitte Britton (austria)
this film is gripping and stunning. the director made some very brave choices and manages with the few effects and little finance he had to create an intense experience. in the end it's all up to one's fantasy and imagination and not the budget!!

Other reviews for this movie led me to believe that it was going to be something amazing, something I have never seen before, something that I would either love or hate. It was none of these things. It was weird, that's for sure, but it was hardly interesting. The soundtrack alone was enough to make me want to watch the movie muted. But then all I would have been left with would have been the visuals, and I couldn't do that to myself. The lens tricks were disorienting and the color scheme was simply offensive, though I suppose I understand what they were trying to do with the wacky makeup. If I had to pick something that WAS interesting about this movie, it would be the scene in which the two characters, one male, one female, but both played by the same actress, square off in a sexually charged argument before the female character disapears below frame and makes the male character "die" in the Victorian and literal sense of the word. But this is only interesting because it's the same actress playing both parts. Otherwise, it would have been just more of the same psuedo-philosophical nonsense about what is beauty, what is fame, what is sex, blah, blah, blah...

The one guy does look a lot like Norm McDonald, though. That was kinda funny. Particularly when he's feining for more heroin.
