not a docu, not a mocku. an excuse to sell a director's uninteresting home movies, January 18, 2006
This review is from: According to Occam's Razor (DVD)
I rented this because of Mora having directing Whitley Strieber's Communion film, and expected a UFO documentary, which this 'film' has been advertised as. What I got instead was a waste of a chunk of my life (even having watched bits of this thing in fast-forward). Mora presents his home videos of his family and friends as they occassionaly joke about uFOS. stock footage abounds, with cheesy music playing in the background as mora cracks what I can only guess are supposed to be humorous jokes. A few minutes total time are spent with Mora interviewing some unknown ufo 'experts' but any ufo documentary on the markt contains more of both information and entertainment. I have no idea why this was even released or what it was supposed to be, other than a cash scam on the film viewing public. And by the way, don't misunderstand: I am also enjoy ufo humor and mock-umentaries as well as real ones, but this is neither. It's not funny or interesting, it's not as advertised, and there seems to be no real point beyond Mora having a chance to exploit his collection of home movies. Mora et al, you should be ashamed. PS- oh, and the extras on the disc contain footage of Moras interview subjects (alleged abductees) auditioning for their roles. Mora couldnt even be troubled to have real alleged abductees tell their stories, instead we get actors portraying them (though we aren't told so and why is still a question)

A Bizarre Look into Mora's Mind, August 12, 2010
This review is from: According to Occam's Razor (DVD)
This "movie" is a bizarre collage of home movies, stock footage, interviews, and some extremely wild allegations that all center around UFOs. It's hard to get past the beginning where the home movies are the most prevalent, but once you get past that and the interviews start, that's when the fun for me began. I really hope that the people Mora interviewed were actors because it's just too disturbing to think I live and work next to them. What's of equal interest to me is to see a real glimpse into Mora's way of thinking. The things he puts in the film, either because he believes them or he was doing it for fun, really tells us a lot about the man and his thinking process. In this case, that may be too much for many people, but I found it to be a fun ride.
