Maybe a ‘G.I. Joe’ Movie Wasn’t Such a Good Idea After All..

For those who just can’t wait till tomorrow’s Super Bowl (Trademark, Copyright, All Rights Reserved), ComingSoon.net has the first look at the promo spot. They spared no expense on the black leather, but the same can’t be said about the dialogue.

I wasn’t allowed to have video games as a child (which may explain a lot actually), so I’m not as familiar with the nether-realms that populate many of the films as I perhaps should be. ”Max Payne” comes from a video game of the same title, about a New York City cop who is determined to avenge the seemingly needless murder of his wife and baby. Mark Whalberg plays our stoic hero in the film, which has been described in the press notes as a neo noir thriller. In other words, it’s like Dick Tracy with creepy CGI. When he’s not buried in the NYPD cold case office, Payne is on the hunt for the men who destroyed his life. It’s all very dark, snowy and desolate in the world that has been created on-screen. Kate Burton plays the czar-ess of a pharmaceutical giant, which also happens to be the old office of Missus Payne. Drugs are definitely a key element to the story since a whole gang of scuzz-buckets down vials of blue stuff and then experience paranoid delusions of winged demons who are going to swoop in and take them away. As a noir-ish mystery, it’s not the kind of film that can deliver any surprises; the unveiling of the secrets is predictable. As for the mythos of the character and his world, that is soon wiped away as well, despite the best efforts of the production design. Where “Payne” does succeed (and it’s not necessarily consistent) is in the action department. This is the kind of movie that makes you fall in love with the sound mixing department for making the echo of a shotgun shell sound so damn cool. There’s also a really nice office shootout. Beyond that, I’d wait for the DVD and use it to test your living room’s surround sound set-up.
G.I. Joe Characters Look More Violent Than Action Figures Were

Here they are, the cast of G.I. Joe. Geometrically shaped rubber muscles seem to be a hot trend in whatever branch of the government these people work for. Do they work for the government? I don’t even know.
At a press conference this morning at Pinewood Studios, the cast of the new Bond film, directed by Marc Forster, showed up in front of big white banners displaying the film’s title treatment. They also put the synopsis of the 22nd Bond picture out there for us to have a peak…
It will hit cinemas on 7 November.
QUANTUM OF SOLACE continues the high octane adventures of James Bond (DANIEL CRAIG) in CASINO ROYALE.
Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (JUDI DENCH) interrogate Mr White (JESPER CHRISTENSEN) who reveals the organization which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.
Forensic intelligence links an Mi6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille (OLGA KURYLENKO), a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (MATHIEU AMALRIC), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organization.
On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world’s most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano (JOAQUIN COSIO). Using his associates in the organization, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land.
In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene’s sinister plan and stop his organization.
Really? Did this really happen during WWII? Very cool, but perhaps the fact that not many folks know about it means we’re using crappy textbooks in school. I choose to hide behind my public school education. ‘Nuff said.
