Welcome to the Conversation!!
After all the waiting, replete with all the Channing Tatum and post 3D-converted madness, Paramount is finally going to let Jon M. Chu unleash his vision of Hasbro’s G.I. Joe franchise on the world this March. Despite the schedule change there’s still lots of people *puts hand up* excited for this G.I. Joe movie. And why wouldn’t they, [...]
Channing, Channing, Channing…just look at all the trouble you’ve caused. Sure you can dance, sure you can fight, sure you can play an emotional sap when the script calls for it. But this, this is something else. Your presence and influence on Hollywood (specifically box office draw/return) exceeded anything anyone could have expected. So much so that you not being in [...]
We at G-S-T hope this three day weekend has found you well and wanted to wish everyone a happy Memorial Day. Today is the day America traditionally remembers the fallen heroes that helped pave the road to the freedoms we enjoy everyday. Different from Veteran’s Day (that celebrates veterans both living and deceased) Memorial Day [...]
Last December we got to see just what Jon M. Chu has in store for us in his follow-up to 2009′s G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra. That first trailer looked pretty slick and probably had even the most avid naysayer going Yo Joe!. Now we get a simply awesome second trailer that looks even [...]
From director Jon M. Chu comes this somewhat related sequel to Stephen Sommers’ G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra. Picking up with the brilliant plot-line that (spoiler!!) covertly put Cobra in the White House, Zartan in now acting as The President of the United States. Under his orders, the G.I. Joes have been hunted down and eliminated…or so we [...]
While I think I am only one of a handful of people who actually enjoyed the Stephen Sommers’ G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, I probably sit in a group of a lot fewer who are excited about a sequel. Pity. But hell, I was the only one sitting in the theater for the first [...]
Fellow movie lovers Sean Hunter, Clark Lamson, and Will Schiffelbein over at Firstshowing.net have a long running podcast they call “The Film Feed“. If you haven’t taken a listen to any of their casts, you really should. These guys are smart, funny and well versed in most films. They offered me a special guest host [...]
With the modest and surprising success of G.I JOE: The Rise of Cobra this weekend, it looks like JOE will continue to be a hot topic this week and maybe next week as well. For those of you who haven’t seen it, I suggest checking it out. It is entertaining, funny and (if you check [...]
Well, I think I can safely say that I’m in the majority of the people who think G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra turned out a lot better than we thought it would. That said I really had tons of fun with this movie and am excited to find out that a JOE sequel is [somewhat] [...]
Out of all the animated series that made the 80′s one of the funnest times to be a kid, G.I JOE is the “real American Hero” and thanks to the efforts of Mr.Camp himself (Stephen Sommers) we are treated to a wild, live-action adaptation of Hasbro’s classic and beloved franchise. I think it was a [...]
