    I've only seen Ghost of Mars. I'll keep my view to myself until you've had time to view it.

    I'm looking forward to your review.

      Well,John, I'm not expecting a great deal with Ghosts Of Mars as it flopped at the boxoffice, and critics were not kind. But even at his worse, I tend to enjoy Carpenter's work.Just the same,though, I'd be interested in seeing what you think of it. It's being trashed quite a bit at some other sites.

        Well George, I'm a fan of Carpenter's work myself. "The Thing" is still one of my all time favorites.

        GOM, was a film that I wanted to like. Not only was it Carpenter's work, it featured several actors that I enjoy to boot.

        I saw it on the big screen at a theater which ran the sound pretty low. But, the movie left me saying...what? I still to this day have no idea how this film was put together. I mean, okay it's sci-fi so, disbelief has been accounted for. But, too many things in this film just made no sense.

        It did however have good FX and it is a Carpenter film which has Pam Grier (though i didn't like her character) so, I'm sure I'll buy it. Maybe I will enjoy it more at home. I hope John does better in the future.

          After what I've been reading, your summation is probably quite correct.I'll let you know what I think after I watch it this Tuesday night if all goes well.

            Finally watched it. Like John, I wanted to like this movie but I'm afraid it just didn't cut it for me. Since I bought it, perhaps I will feel differently with a second viewing sometime.

                No problem,John. Like I said, maybe a second viewing would help. But I'll have to be in the mood, I'm afraid.
