Pity you didn't make it in time to see John Carter--I'd've been curious to hear what you thought of it. Speaking of which, I need to dig up my notes and write about it, myself.
The Ghastly Love of Johnny X (2012)
This sounds marvellously silly. I hope I can get a chance to see it sometime.
It's a nominal sequel to Wells' novel, imagining that in the fifteen years since the initial Martian attack Earth has undergone a steampunk revolution...
It's always a pity when something with so much potential to at least be fun ends up as a giant mess suitable only as MST3K fodder.
This is not a movie to watch if you have even a mild insect phobia.
I'll have to avoid it, then, but it does sound fascinating. I'm glad to have read your description.
