Ghosts of Mars

[JPH]

I'm with you about Crapenter's "Village of the Damned", on par with "Escape From LA" when it comes to spectacular suckiness. For a guy who once directed "The Fog", Carpenter sure has been squeaking out some trite crap. Please, John- stop making movies. I love your older films, but your creative jucies have run dry.

Cle Duvall's character was really pretty and tough. She was even cool when she lost her head. Wish she'd have gotten up with Joanna Cassidy's character before they died.

She was even cool when she lost her head.

I don't know why, but I laughed way more than I should have at that.

This movie is one of those that I kind of regret having paid for because of how bad it was, and yet I still felt that it was not a complete waste, because it was at least entertaining, albeit incredibly stupid. Also, the part where Ice Cube walks in with chromed submachineguns made me laugh uncontrollably.

Most hilarious moments:

The girl's initial "fight" with Ice Cube. Rivals the fish clubbing from Tank Girl.

Ordering a guy to open a door and THEN telling him about the dying man's ominous warning to never ever open it.

The crowd of pursuing monsters magically disappearing while the characters have a lengthy conversation about something unrelated.

"Yay we barely escaped. NOW TURN THIS TRAIN AROUND!"
