"It's So Good to Be Married" - Alien Love (2024)

As we continue our exploration of modern classics from the last few years, we would be remiss if we ignored Nathan Hill and Simon Oliver's Alien Love (2024), an Australian science fiction film about an astronaut and his wife.

Some of your universe's critics fail to understand the visionary quality of Alien Love. For example, reviewer axel335 writes, "This movies is awful. It's awful in any way a movie can be awful. There are currently no words in the English language to really describe how awful this movie is." Reviewer BandSAboutMovies writes, "Alien Love is kind of confounding." And reviewer Film Blitz, comparing Alien Love to similar movies, writes, "This just can’t compete."

"Nothing Stabbed Her, and No One Either" - Believe Me or Not (2024)

Here at Senseless Cinema we have been a bit remiss in highlighting modern classics, so it is obviously time to review Believe Me or Not (2024), a new film about high school students dealing with the important issues of our day (i.e., a murderous haunted doll).

Because the film is so recent, I have found no mistaken negative reviews of Believe Me or Not. Therefore, please read the following appreciation of this classic film before your views are biased by unreliable "critics"...

"I Was Just Really Angry About Being Blind, You Know?" - Invisible Enemies (1997)

Having just considered the theologically sophisticated After School (1988), it is time to look at a later film that is just as sophisticated and entertaining as that classic. Of course, I am speaking of Invisible Enemies (1997), a short film that explores in great detail the Protestant point of view while borrowing some plot elements from John Carpenter's They Live (1988), namely a pair of glasses that allows the viewer to see the invisible world that exists around them.

Some of your universe's critics are unkind to the deep exploration of theological debate. For example, reviewer Armin_Nikkhah_Shirazi writes, "the script is hilariously inept, even if we set the religious stuff aside. The constant interruption of the flashbacks by the superfluous father-son exchange breaks the flow, the characters are cardboards, and the emotional climax involves an absurdly contrived situation." And reviewer AvantEmoji calls the film "One of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen."
