beware of movies with the director's name in the title .
|
|
take " john carpenter's ghosts of mars " ( please ) .
|
|
if the carpenter brand name wasn't superglued to the title , this embarrassment would surely have bypassed theaters entirely and gone straight to its proper home on the usa network .
|
|
and i would have been spared a headache .
|
|
the latest from the director of " starman , " " halloween " and " escape from new york " is a lousy western all gussied up to look like a futuristic horror flick .
|
|
the production is set on mars in 2176 , where humanity looks for relief from the overpopulation strangling their home world .
|
|
six hundred and forty thousand people in a matriarchal society live and work at outposts all over the red planet , terra-forming to make it more hospitable for future generations .
|
|
a matriarchal society .
|
|
terra-forming .
|
|
sounds pretty intriguing , eh ?
|
|
well , don't get your hopes up .
