Our first official Spooky Movie Month viewing choice was Mars Attacks. Released in 1996, directed by Tim Burton and written by Len Brown, Woody Gelman & Wally Wood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mars Attacks! Ack! Ack!<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

They were both cheering when they discovered Danny Elfman did the music (having seen him in concert this summer) and having been raised on Tim Burton, were super excited to finally experience one of his films they’ve never seen before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A love letter to the creature feature\/Sci-Fi films of the silver screen, Mars Attacks is clever, unique and just good fun with a transportive musical score. In true Tim Burton style, it’s bright, flashy, a little morbid, wonderfully whimsical and boarders on the absurd in all the right ways you hope for in a film like this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what did the kids think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lion thought Martin Short\u2019s character was an idiot who deserved to die for threatening national security so he could be inappropriate with someone who was obviously an alien. \u201cIf you\u2019re gonna be that stupid you deserve it\u201d were their exact words. \u2026Can\u2019t disagree, kiddo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their favorite parts: Dragon literally jumped up screaming and cheering when it turned out Byron William\u2019s character doesn\u2019t die and they both laughed about the \u201cdog\u2019s head on a lady\u2019s body\u201d for at least 20 minutes after the movie was over.

Parts they didn\u2019t like: Lion was furious when they killed the president\u2019s pets. We had to pause the movie and let them cry for a few minutes before we continued. Dragon didn\u2019t outright hate any of it, but there were a few moments, like when they thought the kids were going to die, they almost gave up. They were ready to walk out, only to feel a deep kinship with their gamer brethren as they kicked alien butt. Much rejoicing was heard and that moment, honestly saved the movie for them because the were excited through the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two thumbs up from both. They loved it and would absolutely watch it again! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow’s pick is still a mystery… stay tuned in and find out what we’ll be watching next!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
