Watched John Carter this morning & really enjoyed it. Disney's advertising was way off on this flick. First, should've kept John Carter of Mars title. Second, while there are action scenes in this flick, the ads made you believe it was the majority of the movie. Hopefully people will take a chance & give this at least a rental.
After the kids went to bed watched Carpenter's Halloween & Halloween II (for the first time). I can see why the original is a classic. John Carpenter's score is just fantastic. The sequel was solid, but dragged a bit for me. I could watch Donald Pleasance's Dr. Loomis all day. What a great character.
