Who the heck is John Carter???

This is going to be a interesting post for me...a movie review!

What the...?!?!?

I know, but a blogger friend got me in touch with the Disney people and I had the oh-so-awesome opportunity to go to the press release screening of the new Disney movie John Carter!

I did *NOT* have high hopes for this movie because all I knew what that it was Sci-Fi about some guy who goes to fight in a war on Mars. 

Not exactly Jane Austen material here, peeps.

But hey, it was a free movie and I got to look cute and take out the hubby (c:

I thought you guys might like to see how much I'm enjoying my Jason Wu for Target shirt (c:

It was pretty awesome to get to sit in the "reserved" press seats, too...I couldn't stop giggling about the fact that I was being called "press" (c: 

The long and short of it is: GO!!!!

The guy that wrote the books for John Carter, Edgar Rice Burroughs, is the same guy that wrote the books that inspired Star Wars and Tarzan. Dude has some writing *SKILLZ* (and yes, that is with a "z"). 

I'm a crazy big Star Wars fan (shocker, right?) and this movie could be the 7th Star Wars...witty characters, great story line, and lots of action.

Not to mention some pretty darn impressive 3D effects. *Seriously cool*

And let's be honest, does Disney really ever do anything awful??? Not likely. 

Also not awful to look at is the character of John Carter (Taylor Kitch, of X-men Origins and Friday Night Lights fame) is pretty darn cute:

As is the Martian princess love interest (in case you need to convince your man to go (c:) 

And if you want to take kiddos to see this movie, Geek Dad had a *spot on* review of the movie!

In short, as long as they are a little older (like 8 and up), they are going to *LOVE* the movie.

So if you want something fun to do tonight, you can go hit up the movies with a crowd pleaser...

And now you can't say that I didn't ever give you any useful information on this blog! (c:
