I hate to say "don't hold your breath", but being better than the original is near impossible.

"Stay out of Trouble".

Speaking of staying out of trouble, I'm done watching all the clips and extras Marvel Studios has either released or "leaked" for The Avengers. I feel like they've spoiled about every cameo and that I've seen over half of the film.

Nos mas, de nada, and so forth.

Would make an awesome game: the brutal beat-em-up of The Warriors but at a fast pace of a 2D fighter, add some solid CoD gunplay and throw Suda51 in the mix.
I read the review on Time Out New York.

Recently watched The Smurfs. Still funny, still heartwarming, still a great movie.

Ghost of Mars

It really helped me to focus more on writing an essay than seeing a really really terrible movie. At least the music is decent.

I prefer the original. I feel like the main character was much better developed in that one. in the remake, there was more emphasis on their relationship, and not so much in a way that works with lisbeth's character. see it and you'll know what I mean. also things were a lot more spelled out. I did like it though. The story translated well, it was a little more disjointed this time but just as good. The editing was good. I loved the look of the movie, it had a lot of wonderful shots and a great atmosphere. I feel like they just focused more on Daniel Craig's character and fully realizing him, and gave us a slightly (only slightly, really) more tame version of Lisbeth.

I hope they improve on the sequels. I thought they were rather lacking. The first film version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo turned out much better than the latter two films (especially the third).

Saw John Carter ... what the hell were people talking about, this was pretty good. You can argue similarities to other sci fi a bit, but the filmmakers made a serious effort to really distance the atmosphere from other movies and even the plot is quite shifted up. I don't think people saying it's too similar to Star Wars or Avatar actually saw it, or think that Star Wars and Avatar make up the entire of the science fiction genre. (therefore if anything is science fiction with ships and aliens, it's too much like Star Wars, for example).

I hope Disney gives a sequel a shot.
