Ghosts of Mars

The filmmaking- dissolves, flashbacks, wipes, dream sequences, perspectives from other characters- achieves a great "High". A true oddity, complete with Buckethead tagging along with Carpenter on the music (!!).

Johnson, it's hardly a "mistake" to not have seen "everything". I've been seeing movies for more years than I care to mention at the moment, yet I am constantly discovering "new" films, directors, and actors, many of whom have been around all my life waiting to provide the cinematic joys on which I thrive. Be that as it may, you have a lot of real treats in store from the long and impressive career of Mr. Mason. He was one of the truly great actors of the century, a handsome man with a beautiful voice and the ability to be comfortable in both modern and historical dress. Most importantly, with one unmentionable exception, he never acted "too much", but rather quietly created an intensely real characterization in over 150 roles in all kinds of films, good, bad, and occasionally ugly. Since you have just connected with Ophuls, I would highly recommend his The Reckless Moment with Mason and Joan Bennett both at their very best. At the moment, this is only available from the UK. In the meantime, some of his best films include Odd Man Out, Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, Bigger Than Life, Lolita, North by Northwest, and Autobiography of a Princess. I could list at least a dozen more that are as good or close to it, not to mention the slew of lesser films that he elevated, like Prince Valiant or the otherwise execrable 11 Harrowhouse. So, for your movie-going pleasure, I would suggest that you grab hold of anything you come across with his name on it. Good luck. Bob

I wasn't being completely serious Robert! Hehe. I'll be sure to look into everything you have mentioned, as always!

And thank you, Johnson, for warning me not to take everything you say seriously. Keep me posted on what you see.

Robert, I've still yet to see a film with Mason in it! I know, I know... don't worry, I'll correct that mistake, just like I corrected not seeing an Ophuls film!
