Ice Cube and Natasha Henstridge star in the newest offering from Super-B movie director John Carpenter. The time is sometime in the dark future and the setting is a crappy Hollywood sound stage. Carpenter once again brings us his brand of high-grade B movie madness and with a summer release, this movie feels more like a low-grade A movie production.
This movie looks like your run-of-the-mill Carpenter movie, less the cool, slick presentation. The ads make it feel uneven and really don't hint as to a central story. The cheesy dialogue is there, the bad acting is definitely prevalent, but what is lacking here is that sly grin that Carpenter has injected into movies such as Escape From New York and Vampires.
The expectation is that this movie will fail as a big summer blockbuster…fail miserably in fact. Much like the production, the movie's grasp is perhaps extending beyond its reach. The expectation should be that this movie does decent initial box office business relative to other low-budget horror/sci-fi. At this stage of very little advertising and virtually no hint as to what the marketing strategy will be, it is too early to tell how badly the movie will do. (Walid Habboub/BOP)

Sony has decided to push Ghosts of Mars back a week in order to distance itself from action blockbuster Rush Hour 2, which studio execs expect to show stronger staying power than other huge openers such as Planet of the Apes and Jurassic Park III. (Kim Hollis/BOP)
