#64 - COCOON (1985) / COCOON RETURNS (1988)

Trev was put up with a bad back over the weekend, and decided that it was a great time to revisit the 80's Ron Howard sci-fi fantasy Cocoon (1985), a Spielberg-esque film of wonder and sentiment, with lots of laughs along the way and great performances from its senior cast of Hollywood legends, past their sell-by date but still going strong. Actors such as Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Don Ameche, Jack Gilford, Wilford Brimley, and supported by a younger cast including Brian Dennehy and Steve Guttenberg.When a trio of elderly residents from a residential home break into the swimming pool of an abandoned house, they stumble across a group of alien cocoons, and the water they swim in has been filled with an exilir-like life source to preserve the ancient embrio's.Soon, the three elderly men have a new zest for life as the life source begins to work its magic.
