The studio behind upcoming family comedy Aliens in the Attic - 20th Century Fox - have been busy. Fox are teaming up with The Children’s Society and Ebay.co.uk to launch an exclusive Attic Amnesty Auction to raise money for The Children’s Society, the UK’s leading childhood charity, to coincide with the release of Twentieth Century Fox’s new movie Aliens in the Attic, in cinemas this August.

The 10 day auction is set to take place from 6th – 16th August and will involve celebrities across the UK and the Us donating items from their attic; so far celebrities who have donated include:

Antony Head – Black Leather Coat Boyzone – Tour Memorabilia Craig David – Trainers Dame Shirley Bassey – Shoes DJ Spoony – Golf Club Gail Porter – Designer Dress Kevin Pietersen – Mini Cricket Bat Kylie Minogue – Signed Photo and DVD All proceeds from the auction will go to The Children’s Society,...

Ok, here’s the really surprising thing: Aliens In The Attic isn’t entirely awful.

Since it didn’t press screen in New York (always an omen suggesting someone at the studio has perceived quality control issues), I rushed to the very first theatrical unspooling at 10:30 a.m. Friday on 42nd Street and paid my money to be among the first in my neighborhood to see today’s Sf comedy. It was a little too early for hot buttered popcorn but the air conditioning was nice. The seat was comfy. There was a good amount of legroom. And then the movie.

Briefly, four aliens not from this Earth have landed—on the roof and then into the attic of a summer rental mansion—as vanguard to a massive force from the planet Zirconia (or was it Zirconium, I’m confused) that will be invading by the picture’s end.

This evening I’ve been handed a brand new clip from the 20th Century Fox family comedy Aliens in the Attic and I’m not sure if it’s my childish sense of humour or not, but it’s had me in stitches!

The clip features Nana (Doris Roberts - “Everybody Loves Raymond”) under the influence of alien mind-control technology. The result is that Nana becomes a fighting machine who could give Bruce Lee a run for his money, and it’s definitely worth a watch! Check it out...
