Film 354/365, Day 363/365 – Little Shop of Horrors

Good old fashioned fun.  There are some good songs and some exceptional characters, most notably Steve Martin as the dentist who is hilarious.  Not a bad film, but not one that I would go out of my way to watch.  If it's on and I haven't seen it in a while then sure, why not.

Synopsis:  A florist discovers a strange planet in the shop he works in.  Soon he discovers that the plant needs blood to survive and it can talk.  It is willing to help him to become famous in exchange for food, lots and lots of food!

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.

Film 64/365, Day 66/365 – The Great Outdoors

This was one of my favourite films as a child and whilst it is still a good family film it sadly isn’t quite as good as I remember it.  It is still worth watching as John Candy and Dan Aykroyd are still two of the great comedic actors and this is a real situation comedy and the situations are all very good, however the raccoons are my personal highlights.

Synopsis: Chet Ripley has taken his family to the family cabin by the lake for a bit of bonding and outdoors fun.  He didn’t count on his obnoxious brother-in-law Roman Craig to show up uninvited with his family.  Reluctantly Chet allows his Roman and his family to stay.  If Chet and his family can put up with their guests they may struggle with the raccoons and the balded bear!
