They Live, 1988 - ★★★½
An unexpectedly fun movie. Roddy Piper plays the role that inspired the likes of Duke Nukem. He finds out the world is in an advanced stage of a take-over by aliens who send subliminal messages through the TV and Radio. They already have the world's elite at their grasp, and they're wiping those who oppose them (the working class and the poor) using the police, also under their control. Nada (Piper) doesn't waste much time - he's all out of bubble gum after all - and with the help of Frank (Keith David) and truth-reviling sunglasses, he shoots his way out to victory.
