Mars Attacks! (1996)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 106m
Director: Tim Burton
Cast: Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan
Synopsis:
Earth attempts to repel invaders from Mars, against whom the surprising secret weapon turns out to be Tom Jones.
Review:
Brash, loud, hilarious parody of all things Independence Day-like, and as such gloriously effective, since the director is precisely the sensibility to find the offbeat angles needed to justify the exercise. The throwbacks to 50s Sci-Fi are another welcome touch.
