Who's That Girl?

La fleur du mal (2003)

aka
Die Blume des Bösen Germany / Switzerland (German title)
The Flower of Evil International (English title)



Three generations of a wealthy Bordeaux family are caught in the crossfire when the mother decides to run for mayor, thanks to a political pamphlet that revives an old murder scandal.

Mildly satirical family drama, all done in good taste, but not really memorable.

Indeterminacy 105

A lady carrying many packages
got on a Third Avenue bus.
Before
she was able to get a
seat, the bus
lurched forward.
The packages fell,
several of
them on a drunken bum
who had been muttering to
himself.
Looking
up at the lady blearily,
he said,
“Whashish?”
The
lady answered cheerfully,
“Those are Christmas
presents, my good man;
you know,
it’s Christmas.”

“Hell,” he said,
“thawashlashyear.”

Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1968)

Astronauts landing on Venus encounter dangerous exotic creatures and almost meet some sexy Venusian women who like to sunbathe in hip-hugging skin-tight pants and seashell bras.

This time around the added blonde bombshells pretty much ruin the otherwise straightforwad scifi adventure.
