Those who can, act.
Those who starred in Pearl Harbor, direct.

John Carter isn't horrible. There's some fun stuff. It just needed a lot of serious tightening up.

So THAT'S why they're doing the pointless Spiderman movie--to keep the rights.

Re: movies
John Carter is a movie I would rather watch on HBO then I would go out of my way to see in the theater. Most big movies or popular movies I try to watch eventually unless they're chick flicks or something like that but not all of them I would go out of my way to see in a theater.

I got it out of the Redbox. And I'm glad I didn't drop the money for the theater.JoeMcKim wrote:John Carter is a movie I would rather watch on HBO then I would go out of my way to see in the theater.

Watched John Carter through questionably ethical ways. I agree that it dragged on. I think it was exceptionally well-done after the books, to be honest. Unfortunately, we all quickly realized that it simply isn't a good story for the big screen.

Re: movies
There was a movie that DirecTV was showing the trailer constantly for their on demand a month or two ago. I thought I wouldn't forget it's name, but I have. I might pick it up sometime when I'm out, but don't know what it is.
The trailer shows a group of teenagers or young adult men who seems to have superhuman powers. They can move objects and people with the brush of a hand or the swipe of a finger. They make up rules for themselves to use the powers only for good/legal reasons and not when angry. But the audio of this agreement is over action video of them breaking the rules by robbing a business, crashing a car chasing them and having a fight where a guy is thrown back with a wave of a hand.
Does this sound familiar and has anyone seen it?

Chronicle, it's kind of in the "found film" genre, not bad for mindless entertainment (which means I enjoyed itKyCardinalFan wrote:There was a movie that DirecTV was showing the trailer constantly for their on demand a month or two ago.

Re: movies
Ted was pretty bad. If it wasn't for Mila Kunis being drop dead gorgeous, I'd have said the movie was absolutely terrible.
A few spots that made me chuckle, but nothing really that was laugh out loud funny. Seth McFarlane definitely disappointed me with this one.
