  Cocoon (1985)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Cocoon's achievement as a film is all the more remarkable when one reflects upon the scarcity of active, old people in American cinema, let alone a group of them presented so positively in a state of sexual re awakening, then led to such an upbeat conclusion.
Cocoon was a last hurrah for many of the elderly cast (although one or two survived advancing years to appear in the terrible Cocoon 2(1988)).
Cocoon is a film in which sexual energy is equated closely to an amplified life force and is seen as both positive and welcome.

Since Cocoon is a very modular framework and its architecture is not yet stable, we always suggest that you replace your old configuration file with the new one shipped with the new release.
Cocoon is Servlet API 2.2 compatible and requires the servlet_2.2.jar package to compile correctly, but works is back compatible with old servlet engines.
Note that this doesn't mean that Cocoon won't change in the future and we state clearly that we do care about back compatibility but only when this is not limiting the evolution of the platform too much.

Later when the seniors take their usual swim, they notice the curious cocoons and begin to sense a change in themselves--they are suddenly more youthful and vital.
Although "Cocoon" was shot largely in and around St. Petersburg, Florida-home to one of the country's largest seniors population-the site was chosen for other reasons: a warm climate, nearness to a large body of water, and the special look needed for the motion picture.
"Cocoon" is very much an ensemble acting film, and Ron Howard said one of the biggest challenges for him was the diversity of acting styles and methods.

Although much of Cocoon's iconography (the UFOs, the aliens) has been stolen from Steven Spielberg, this is one of those movies that leaves one with a warm glowing feeling after leaving the cinema – and it wasn't the poor air-conditioning...
This movie is also commendable for featuring probably the only sex scene between an alien and an earthling (Steve Guttenberg of Police Academy fame) - even though the alien is Raquel Welch's daughter and is every bit as sexy...
By the way, this movie made enough money to warrant a sequel in which the geriatrics returns to earth on some lame pretext - not the point of the exercise really.

 Cocoon Movie Review at Hollywood Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A well-crafted piece of escapist filmmaking similar in tone to Steven Spielberg's far superior E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1983), Cocoon is chiefly appealing for its ensemble cast of veteran actors/actresses, who have charm to spare.
Yes, the "friendly alien" storyline is a bit familiar and the sap quotient is high, but it's frankly hard to resist a movie that gives such golden oldsters as Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Wilford Brimley, and Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner Don Ameche a rare chance to strut their stuff in starring roles.
Consistently entertaining and frequently quite funny, especially in the scenes of the old-timers living it up like college kids on spring break (a PG-rated spring break, that is), Cocoon also treats the issue of aging with sensitivity and matter-of-fact directness.

 washingtonpost.com: Entertainment Guide
Somebody ought to tell Clint Eastwood, who is back in the saddle in "Space Cowboys," an implausible action adventure with the most geriatric payload since a community of retirees lifted off in "Cocoon." While it has its comic charms, the yarn ultimately takes itself far too seriously.
Even when the movie finally gets off the ground, it never really escapes Earth's gravity, never captures the grandeur beyond the ozone.
Then again, an aged movie hero doesn't have to board a rocket ship to prove his pluck, especially when the product placed most prominently here is not Pepsi but Ensure.

 Review: Cocoon
There isn't an Eighties child alive who hasn't watched the Three Men And A Baby franchise over and over again, desperate to glimpse the ghost that supposedly loitered on the set of his apartment.
The film focuses on these three, as they discover the wonders of the cocoons.
Cocoon is one of those films, along with similar classics like Short Circuit and Batteries Not Included, that will always be remembered and watched with a certain degree of affection, despite their aging special effects and heavy emphasis on morality.
