John Carter

image0011

So this past Monday, I got to go watch John Carter in 3D!!!!  It was supposed to be me, my friend Krysta, and our friend Pat.  However, Pat couldn’t make it back into town in time.

Anyway, I had to wait until today (launch day for the movie) before I could post this.  I have been dying to post it since I walked out of the theater!!  The movie theater was packed.

First off, the movie is based off of the first three books in the Barsoom series by Edgar Rice Burroughs.  Yes, that is the same Edgar Rice Burroughs that wrote the Tarzan books.  The first in the series was The Princess of Mars written in 1912.  Now, I am sure you are wondering if a science fiction novel that was written in 1912 could still stand up to the test of time.  YES IT CAN!  WOW!

Not only did it stand up to it, it outshone it too! 

The actors that they chose to play the various parts were excellent choices.  The guy that played John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) is a gorgeous hunk that knows how to act well.

There was one character that really stole the movie though.  In fact, I want one as a pet!!

It’s amazing when you see this movie and realize how many other movies have taken from this story line. 

And if you are thinking that John Carter is some obscure character from a series written in the early 1900s, then you are wrong.  Not only did Edgar Rice Burroughs write 10 novels in the series, but there were comic books and even graphic novels.  Not only that, but there were movies based on the series. 

This is one action packed movie that you will not want to miss.  I was sad to find out that Disney will not be making any toys based on the series.  I would have loved to have gotten a Woola (the dog thing) action figure!  He is just that cute!!

Long Time No Post

Well, I finally got rid of my old website. I just couldn't handle all the spam comments I got on a daily basis. I might have some of my posts saved to my computer. If so, then I will put them into this blog. In the meantime, I am going to try to become active in blogging again. I can't promise anything. I had gotten so discouraged by the spam, that I had completely given up.

Review–An Apple A Day

Image
  Image via Wikipedia Book Description   From Old Testament proverbs to modern phrases like "the best things in life are free," An Apple a Day takes a fun look at expressions that "have stood the test of time." Read through from start to finish or search through the list of hundreds of the most common proverbs, arranged from A to Z for easy reference.

Includes entries like: Two heads are better than one: Like the less-familiar "Four eyes see better than two," this proverb extols the benefits of having someone else help you make up your mind-and it's a view that goes back to at least the fourteenth century.
