Ack! Ack! Mars Attacks! Ex-cel-lent!

This is a really fun movie. I have it on VHS but wanted it on DVD and got it for $8 on Ebay. It has almost everything! It has big stars; Jack Nicholson, Glen Close, Michael J. Fox, Sarah Jessica Parker and others. It has creepy skull-headed villains (the Martians). It has great death scenes, when Billy Glenn (Jack Black) gets fried early-on, the movie then has cheery parts.
It has pretend science theories delivered by Pierce Brosnan, who you secretly want to get fried. It has Chihuahua-headed staple-necked glam-thangs. ...I don't even know where that came from... It has douche-bag government imbeciles in Rod Steiger (reminds you of Chaney) and Martin Short plays a sexually frustrated press goob. Oh and it has a typical sci-fi 50's plot: Martians attack, we are inept and many die; a granny in Sylvia Sydney discovers that recordings of cowboy's yodeling kill the Martians by popping their skulls. The Martians crash into buildings, each other and eventually cause the movie to end. We have a happy ending: Teen boy kisses Queen Amadala what's-her'name-Portman. We survive and then the credits roll. Splendid. Nice popcorn flick. I give it three heart clogging sticks of butter. Oh crap, that's that Dean cooking Grannie. Oh well, my bad. The End.
