Cats the world over breathe a sigh of relief as Curiosity lands on Mars. What will the NASA rover tell us? What will it find? Dust? Martians? The tattered remains of John Carpenter’s dignity? We humans had a real thing for the fourth rock from the Sun in the late 90s, ushering in a host of dreadful films about Mars whose Wikipedia blurbs end with ‘a critical and commercial failure’.

Mars Needs Moms.The title says it all, really. Convoluted premise and poor script aside though, the worst part really needs to be seen to be believed as Robert Zemeckis and ImageMovers once again attempt to render non-repellent humanoid characters to screen…

It seems today that all you see is perpetual repeats of this on BBC Three. Lucky there’s a new DVD box set out then, eh?
