Movie news from The Movie Guys includes Ron Perlman’s awesome Make-A-Wish story, “Brave” Easter Eggs and a strange “Prometheus” abortion story…
MOVIE REVIEW – JOHN CARTER
Really, how hard was it to understand this film people? I know the trailers made it look like a mindless action flick, but it’s not. I’m sorry you couldn’t waltz in 10-minutes late with your face full of popcorn and your butter-stained fingers endlessly fumbling over your cell phone, and not be able to figure out what’s going on. It’s called attention. If you pay it, you’ll get it.

Mr. Caine, you lead me astray, you dirty rotten scoundrel!

I know this list will bring great debate from many of you out there. This is to be expected and is encouraged. But for now let’s get right to it.
MOVIE REVIEW – SUPER 8
Abrams has obviously given himself the specific assignment of making a send-up of a sort of film, much as Spielberg & Lucas did when they made “Raiders”
THE MOVIE GUYS REWRITE: RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
This “re-write” is not mine at all – it actually sprang from the minds of the men who created “Raiders” in the first place.
