Now let me clarify something about the title of this post. In no way shape or form does this list mean that I hate any movie on this list. In fact, this is my list of movies I wanted to watch, watched, and for different reasons have decided to never watch again. Luckily this list is small for the most part. I'm sure as time goes on I will add to this list.

Movie Review - John Carter
Not gonna lie I loved it. Flat out loved it. John Carter was a great film! If Disney continues to make great films like Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Alice in Wonderland, and John Carter then my movie collection will have a section specifically titled Disney films.
Anyway, back to John Carter. Like I said it was great. Story flowed well, acting was great, beautiful costumes, well designed CG effects, creative engineering designs (i.e. buildings, structures, vehicles), and well selected funny moments. I kind of watched the film and at one point I felt as though I was watching a steampunk space story. Some of the tech they were using resembled futuristic looking steampunk tech to me. That's what I think at least. My favorite thing in the film was the dog. You'll know it when you see it. I sadly can't remember what he was or what he was called. But I thought he was so cute. The interaction between CG characters and live actors was beautifully managed. I actually forgot the aliens weren't really there. Story was good as the character John Carter learned things so did the audience. There were a few scenes the audience did see but not much was explained about them. Fight scenes were good. The blood was...how should I put it...entertaining. The whole film was a great adventure. The ending did leave a "to be continued" feel. Kind of how the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End was. However, I did find out that they did make this film planning for it to be the first of a trilogy and I have no problem with this. In fact, I'm looking forward to the next one.

Still Alive
Hey, I'm still here and I haven't forgotten about the blog. Just this little thing called life arose and kept me busy for the last few weeks. It's been great though. Attended one of the nerdiest weddings ever (groom's vows were spectacular), recovered from my annual anime convention, and sadly missed movies I was planning to watch.
Completely missed my chance to watch Safe House that film was mostly for my own enjoyment. Guess I have to wait for it to come to DVD then. I completely forgot Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance came out, go figure. I sadly missed The Secret World of Arrietty. This is a major bummer to me I really wanted to watch this. The film was actually only playing at my local cheaper/smaller theater and my schedule didn't let me have time to see it. Oh well, my husband and I both already agreed we're going to preorder it from amazon.com later. Now the film I didn't miss was John Carter. Which is what my next post will be about.
