Wow I was just reading some reviews for John Carter on Rotten tomatoes.  People seem to be pretty up in arms about the negative reviews it got.  I can't tell if it's just a few crazy fanboys or what, but I want to see it now. 

Anyone else see it?  Should I read the books first?  I never really got Elijah Wood's face out of my head when I read Lord of the Rings. 

Just watched Immortal Beloved.  Surprisingly good despite some huge historical inaccuracies.

Finally saw Prometheus tonight. Fantastic sense of atmosphere throughout the movie. Scott really shows his mastery as a director in how he creates tension and draws you into every scene. It's very immersive. The screenplay wasn't quite as fantastic as the direction, and some themes seemed half-assed. But overall recommended!

Oh, and it's awesome from a visual standpoint. I wish I saw it on IMAX.

That's quite the movie title! 

I was kind of disappointed with 2 recent DVD releases.  Wanderlust was just not very clever.  And what's with the full on frontal [redickted] shot, and then blurring out the boobies?  WTF?  Judd Apatow seems to have a thing for the [redickted] shots. 

I was expecting Big Miracle to be pretty good even if kind of sappy, and I hardly made it through.  It made me, a tree hugger who doesn't even kill mosqitos wonder why everyone cared so much about the whales.  Reduced everything and everyone into 2 dimensional cardboard cutouts.  Although the shots of the whales underwater with rays of light shining through from the hole in the ice were beautiful. 

I'm watching the more recent Pride and Prejudice again and I love it.  The music and gorgeous sets and cinematography create such a rich background for it all.  I just love the feel of the movie.
