Film 338/365, Day 352/365 – The ‘Burbs

Classic Tom Hanks.  This is a very funny film with a collection of weird and wonderful characters.  If you like Tom Hanks and haven’t seen any of his earlier work then this is a great place to start, then after this you should watch the Bachelor Party and Dragnet.

Synopsis:  When one of their neighbours disappears and is quickly replaced by a new and incredibly odd family the residents of a quiet suburban neighbourhood can’t help but think something is wrong.  But then maybe the monotony of the suburbs is getting to them!

Film 216/365, Day 234/365 – The Blues Brothers

One of the all time greats, The Blue Brothers will never get old.  The music is fantastic throughout with guest appearances from some of the greatest musicians the world has ever seen.  It also has some of the best one liners and the greatest car chase ever.  Awesome!

Synopsis:  Jake Blues gets out of jail to discover that the orphanage where he and his brother, Elwood Blues, grew up is about to close because they can’t pay their tax bill.  Then Jake gets a sign from God that they must put their old band back together to be able to make the money to save the orphanage.
