The Point V2. - Vol. 8 - "The Epitome of Awesomeness"

I haven't typed a movie review since my days as a college student, and I think I'll keep it at that.  I will tell you that I saw John Carter tonight.  Was it the next Star Wars? It was not. Was it worth the money to see in the theater? Yes, depending on what you expect to experience from viewing a movie.  John Carter was an entertaining sci-fi adventure. It's complete with a love story for all you female readers. It has fun alien CGI creatures for the (older) kids.  For the guys, there was plenty of action, special effects, and Princess cleavage shots.  I expected a lot out of this movie since I've been told that Edgar Rice Burroughs created the template of modern science fiction around a hundred years ago. I wasn't disappointed, and I wasn't thoroughly impressed either. But I can honestly say that I was entertained for a couple hours, and isn't that the point of going to the movies?

Expendables 2

It's trailer week here on the Procrastinator's Point. MIB 3 started the summer movie buzz, then G.I. Joe 2 had a surprisingly good trailer, and now the Expendables 2 is here to...well, kick butt.
