Matthew Robbins - *batteries not included (1987) HD-DVDRip

Five ordinary people needed a miracle. Then one night, Faye Riley left the window open.

Sólo un milagro podía salvarlos... y una noche Faye Riley dejó la ventana abierta.






The tenants of a dilapidated New York City apartment house are being forced to vacate by the owner and developer of the surrounding property.




Frank and Faye Riley (Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy) own the cafe that's located on the first floor of the building they live in. Among the other tenants is a former boxer (Frank McRae), a pregnant woman (Elizabeth Pena) and a starving artist (Dennis Boutsikaris). They band together and try to stop an angry developer (John Pankow) and his assistant (Michael Carmine II) out to run them from the building.
Fortunately, visiting alien mechanical life-forms come to town. When they befriend the tenants, the aliens use their extraterrestrial abilities to defeat the developers.

My rip with MeGUI from the 720p HD-DVD




Los inquilinos de un viejo edificio se resisten a ser desalojados para la demolición del inmueble, por lo que el corredor de propiedades contrata a un delicuente local para que los espante. Los arrendatarios comienzan a resignarse a la idea de abandonar su hogar, pero una noche aparecen unos increíbles visitantes del espacio exterior que van a meter sus "manos" en el asunto. Comedia de fantasía muy cercana a los intereses y tics de Steven Spielberg, aunque acá sólo produjo. El que dirigió a Hume Cronyn, a Jessica Tandy y a los platillos voladores fue Matthew Robbins (La Leyenda de Billie Jean).
