Film 259/365, Day 284/365 – Mars Attacks

This is a particularly weird film from Tim Burton and is clearly a homage to the b-movie films of yesteryear.  There are some very funny moments in it however it does seem to flick back and forth between too many different characters.  Although the Martians are very entertaining with giant heads, tiny bodies and standard issue red underpants!

Synopsis:  Martians attack Earth without mercy and seem to be having lots of fun doing it in their own twisted way!  Can the powers of Earth band together to stop the Martians?  It’s not likely when you realise how naive and stupid they really are!

Film 153/365, Day 162/365 – Foxy Brown

Foxy Brown is sexy, voluptuous and deadly.  This is the film that launched Pam Grier’s career and although I don’t think it is as good as The Big Bird Cage or Black Mama, White Mama it is still quite captivating.  If nothing else you will learn that you don’t mess with Foxy Brown.

Synopsis:  Foxy Brown just saw her boyfriend killed.  Now she’s going to go undercover and make sure the criminals responsible get what’s coming to them.  And Foxy is going to make sure the punishment fits the crime!
