Deep Focus (Bryant Frazer)
I'm not quite sure what to say about Mars Attacks!, which is obviously the work of a deranged genius.

Film Values/Family Values (H. Arthur Taussig)

Jack Nicholson is great in this. It has lots of star power. And the aliens are so sadistic its funny they are like little kids pulling the legs off of flies. If you want a good laugh and like Tim Burton dark comedy watch this one. ...
