Creating her own genre and fashioning a multi-faceted world within a defined space are testaments to her talent and ingenuity. Oh, and stick around for the end credits-there’s a fun montage of “Aquariologists” who weigh in on Russell’s return to the mortal plane.įull disclosure: Even if my dear friend and partner in critic crime Staci Layne Wilson wasn’t behind this super fun flick, I find the concept of a rock & roll sci-fi comedy to be irresistible. To coincide with the release of the movie, there will be an EP of Russell Aquarius songs, Lysergic Astrologies. Ursu sang and played the songs live while filming, which lends an air of authenticity to the whole thing. There are several original songs composed by co-screenwriter Darren Gordon Smith ( Repo! The Genetic Opera) and sung by Ursu.
The megacorporation GeneCo provides organ transplants on a payment plan. The Second Age of Aquarius is co-written and directed by Staci Layne Wilson ( The Ventures: Stars on Guitars). By the year 2056, an epidemic of organ failures has devastated the planet. There’s Tawny ( Brooke Lewis Bellas), who is Alberta’s “stuck in the ’80s” hair-metal mom Alberta’s nosy landlord Helen ( Nancy Long) her ex-boyfriend Merrick ( Keeshan Giles) her nemesis Julio ( Richard Trejo) and Russell’s elderly, one-eyed manager, Sid ( Martin Olson). The action takes place in one location-Alberta’s apartment-but there are a few other characters who come in to spice things up. Though they’re roughly the same age, Russell is a product of a politically-incorrect era which lends to the comedic aspect of this sci-fi music fantasy film. Russell has all the rock star magnetism and sex appeal that Alberta expected, but what she didn’t anticipate was the generational gap.

No matter-she’s agoraphobic.Īs such, the pair harkens back to ’60s TV shows like The Odd Couple, My Favorite Martian, and I Dream of Jeannie. He cannot stray far from the source of his power, which tethers him within the confines of Alberta’s apartment. Russell, through the power of the electricity that zapped him into the afterlife, returns as a flesh, blood, and bone being-but there are limitations.
Russell was electrocuted by his microphone long before Alberta was born, but she became a fan of his music through her nana, so when she is hired by MuziTech to create holographic rock stars, she can’t think of anyone she’d like to meet more.
6 Variety awarded Havenhurst a marginally positive review, saying 'a decent cast, brisk pace and proficient overall packaging make Havenhurst a respectable enough diversion within a niche.

As of January 2021, 27 of the eleven reviews compiled on Rotten Tomatoes are positive, with an average rating of 4.25/10. In The Second Age of Aquarius, Russell Aquarius ( Michael Ursu) is one of those ’60s rock stars who lived too fast, died too young, and left a good-looking corpse. So read on to see what horror flicks you loved and critics didn’t, and let us know where you fall on the entries listed below.In her The Second Age of Aquarius review, Lisa Johnson Mandell says filmmakers Staci Layne Wilson et al have come up with a whole new irresistible genre On top of that, we even discovered a few franchises that managed to defy expectations and consistently strike a chord with their fans over several installments, even as critics pooh-poohed them. There’s a bit of the occult, a dash of religious panic, and a few choices that are a little wacky. We looked at a number of films with low Tomatometer ratings and high Audience Scores to determine what, if anything, might result in the critical dismissal of horror flicks that moviegoers hold near and dear to their hearts. But what about when the situation is flipped? We thought it was worth taking a look at the opposite scenario, when movies that largely resonate well with audiences are savaged by critics. A few days ago, prompted by the disparity between the Audience Score and the Tomatometer for Ari Aster’s horror film Hereditary, we ran through a list of some critically acclaimed horror films that ended up generating a collective sigh from audiences.
