Movie Review: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra


Terrific popcorn entertainment (Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!)

I just saw it at my local theater where they had a special midnight showing, and what a trip it was!!! I thought the acting was pretty good, not great, the special effects were pretty cool and the characters were well thought out.

High points: Levitt, Miller, Nichols and Park as their respective characters were really good. Marlon Wayans was pretty cool as Ripcord and not nearly as jokey as perhaps first thought. The fights between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow also rocked (I am glad that the final film does not have Snake Eyes speaking after (*Spoiler*) he kills Storm Shadow like in the script.

Low points: Destro's "mask" (hope they fix that for the sequel), Cobra Commander's mask (which Sommers indicated he might go to the mirrored battle helmet version in the sequel) and also the "acting" of Channing Tatum (stiff as a board).

It is definitely a fun movie, and pretty much the culmination (for me) of 27 years of waiting for a live-action treatment of my favorite '80's toyline/comic/cartoon. I give it about a 4 out of 5 stars. I do recommend seeing it at least once.
Last summer it was feet encased in sneakers being found in the waters of Canada's British Columbia. Now a rock has turned up with what the couple who found it think might be the imprint of an ancient human foot. Unlike the sneakered feet, this possible footprint turned up in the garden of Neil and Earlene Bitterman of Hudson's Hope. Is it an ancient footprint, or a case of pareidolia? Meanwhile, with summer vacations upon us, wise cryptid seekers might find vacation inspiration in Forbes Traveler on Cryptozoology. Meanwhile, a quick vacation jaunt is possible for those who still hope to hit the Centre for Fortean Zoology's Weird Weekend 2009, August 14 - 16 in Woolsery, North Devon, England, and here's what you'll experience: Definitive Running Order for the Weird Weekend - Or at Least We Hope So.

Yo, Joe!!!!!!


The new movie G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra opens nationwide today, and it looks to be pretty darn good. The film, directed by Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, Van Helsing) stars Channing Tatum, Dennis Quaid, Marlon Wayans, Rachel Nichols, Sienna Miller, Christopher Eccleston, Ray Park and Joseph Gordon-Leavitt. It is rated PG-13 for action violence and language.

Bigfoot: America's King Kong Tomorrow...

Tales of the Goat Man, pretty much dormant for forty years, are being revived around Fort Worth, TX, as reporter Chris Vaughn resurrects the archives of the 1969 reports of a 7-foot-tall hairy, scaly, goatlike creature spotted near the west fork of the Trinity River as it enters Lake Worth. With an alleged 1969 photo of the "creature." Were mischievous high schoolers hoodwinking the citizenry of Tarrant County in the summer of 1969?





From the maverick science section: Elaine Morgan is a staunch supporter of the idea humans evolved from aquatic apes. In this seventeen-minute video Morgan expounds on the hypothesis and offers her theory as to why mainstream science doesn't take the hypothesis seriously. Elsewhere, on an entirely different subject, Thomas Wilson begins dismantling what he sees as faulty conclusions drawn from circular reasoning by mainstream astronomers in Lightning, Sticky Tape, and Black Hole Observations - Part 1. Are Black Hole observations destined to disappear into a, well, Black Hole?
