Really entertaining stuff they've come up with this time. JASON X is not scary at all, but it is both funny and action- packed. A great mix of futuristic weaponry, silly teenagers, badass Marines, cool spaceship surroundings, constant wisecracking, lots of irony, and the massive machete- swingin' Eighties Horror Icon. Some of the CGI- effects are irritating, but it's still way better than the previous JASON GOES TO HELL. What do you get when you mix JAMES CAMERON'S ALIENS and MATT GROENING'S FUTURAMA? The answer is JASON X. You'll get your load of unrealistic cryogenics, robots, stupidity and deep- space soldiers being slaughtered. A film that wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

This short documentary takes you to the set of 'John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars' on location in the Mexican desert. A lot of stunt- guys prepare for being blown up, beat up, set on fire and hit by trucks. The make up artists put on ghastly make up, and the main actors, Cube, Duvall and Henstridge, are seen practicing their kung fu skills. All this taking place while a seemingly laidback and cigarette-smoking John Carpenter looks like he's having a lot of fun. The actual film 'Ghosts of Mars' could and should have been better/scarier. Look out for Carpenter- regular Peter Jason's death scene. Carpenter is a great guy, and although this documentary takes you behind the scenes of one his least fascinating projects, somehow the good, old Carpenter- feeling is still there.

Being a fan of Bay and Bruckheimer's The Rock and Armageddon this movie makes me sad. It is so full of pompous characters, pompous lines, bleeched teeth and music designed to stir certain emotions, it just comes to a point were it ain't funny. Considering what this mess actually cost Disney absolutely nothing is impressing.

The only way they could make it worse would be to cast Ryan Phillipe and Chris O'Donnell in the parts of Affleck and Hartnett.

Had this happened, viewing would've caused deaths.
