Welcome to a world of crude beauty… of danger and excitement… of wonders, legend, and imagination… Welcome to Harlem, Brother.
I remember this movie from when I watched it as a child on a sunday afternoon on public television and it left quite an impression on me, a certain eyeball-scene in particular. The story’s about an alien who looks just like a regular black man (albeit with some very strange feet) who crashes his spaceship in New York and mixes in with the ‘other immigrants’. He understands people, but is mute himself. At a local bar in Harlem he makes some friends and finds a job using his supernatural powers repairing arcade games.
In short, it has some very memorable scenes, white Men In Black, it’s pretty damn funny at times with it’s dry humor and it’s certainly a very original flick. The main character is quite the likable alien too, ET has got nothin’ on this brother. Watch it.
