Film 329/365, Day 346/365 – GoldenEye

It will never be as good as the Nintendo 64 game!  As far as Bond films go it’s pretty good but it is still in the old style full of clichés and A-Team style action.  Bond actually drives a tank over two police cars and after he drives off the people climb out of the wrecks.  It is also incredibly cheesy which is what I grew up knowing Bond as, but now that I’ve seen what it can be in the new films then this feels much more like an action Carry On film.

Synopsis:  The Goldeneye is a Russian space weapon that it has fallen under control of a secret terrorist organisation.  James Bond must work together with the only survivor of a Russian research facility to try and track down the terrorists and stop them from causing chaos. 

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!
