went to see g.i. joe the other weekend. this one wont win any oscars but it is full of balls to the wall action. felt like a little kid watching it. i am old enough to know the original joes and catch the reference to the kung fu grip. but i am young enough to have watched, read, and played with the second generation of joes. so the characters were familiar to me. love snake-eyes and stormshadow. the best part is the way the story tied several characters together and created a history. the effects were phenomanol. the interaction between ripcord and scarlet was great too. i certainly hope there is a sequel..
my second pick is the dvd of the watchmen....again i am taken back. this time to my comic book reading days. i can remember when it came out as a mini series, long before it was published as a graphic novel. this is what its all about, the story was true to the original. it hit like a bag of bricks to the head even onscreen. alan moore should be proud of this! if you watch this and dont think just a little then you are probably a moron. the story along with v for vendetta will stir the brain and get you thinking about what we are doing and where we are going.
