- (technically this should be no 2) Christopher Eccleston or Ecclescake as some people like to call him. I mean, did you not see him play psychopath in Shallow Grave? He is a great actor and I like his ears. Plus he was my first Doctor.
- Jonathan Pryce as he is always ready with a camp performance like his villian part on that dreadful James Bond movie (possibly the worst ever) Tomorrow Never Dies although I blame that solely on Teri Hatchers abysman performance.
- Arnold Vosloo as you can't help but love him. He's been in everything from Charmed to Red Shoe Diaries (you know, tee-hee!) through to The Mummy, all the sequels and 24 and Chuck. We, here at Sayhey, simply heart him.
- We love any movie based on comic books or childhood toys like Transformers, Spiderman, Fantastic Four and X-Men. However, we HATE Barbie movies with a passion.
- Mediocre American action movies are usually campy and fun
- Did I mention Channing Tatum?
That said, I watched it. While there are definately things about it that weren't very good. Like the CGI and a fair bit of the acting, I still liked it a lot. I may have to buy the DVD when it hits the bargain bins. There really isn't much better than a camp B rated action movie with a lot of totty (with their tops off). Is there? Anyway while I have already watched it, I still think it would be a good idea to give you the run down on what it's like. Step by step. Remember, we do it so you don't (or also) have to. Ladies and gentlemen (and those inbetween) I give you, G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra (like they had to put that in the title)
0.00.20 Paramount Pictures! I actually drove into their lot when I was in LA last summer. Big deal, because we hadn't booked a tour with them. So I was allowed to drive in through the main gates and drive around this flower bed thing and drive back out. It totally made my day, although I was a little disappointed to learn that we had to book in advance.
0.01.10 Oh, a backstory from France 1641.

0.18.06 Eccleston is a hologram thingy and now he's back in where ever he is. Eccleston is the bad guy. Yay!
0.19.45 Sienna Millers glasses are kool. I would wear those.
0.20.09 Yay! Arnold Vosloo! We like him.

0.45.45 The Joes find out the plan of Christopher Eccleston, or at least what we can only imagine is the first part of the plan.

Now, I really liked it in that campy, action B movie kind of way and I really do hope they'll come back with a sequel.
Thank you for your time.
I haven't seen this movie; and based on your review, I'll add it to the list of fairly entertaining, not too serious movies to watch.
ReplyDeleteI do remember that Channing dude from that She's the Man (2006) movie--which I think is a remake of an earlier movie.
Your House boys are very charming Pete....
ReplyDeleteThey do like posing in the locker room....
Do they ever work?
I *hated* this movie.
ReplyDeleteBut bizarrely, kinda enjoyed Tomorrow Never Dies.
Hmmm…
Bingowings, just like She's the Man, this movie was enjoyable but no masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteI have to see what movie She's the Man is a remake of.
My darrrrling Princess
ReplyDeleteMy house boys do work alright. Part of their work is to look good in a locker room which is very important.
Tim, my dear. What can I possibly say.. You have a terrible taste in movies.
ReplyDeleteAlthough you get a bonus point for hating Twilight and another one for liking Mallrats
"Rise of the Cobra"
ReplyDeleteThat has GOT to be a euphemism!
I thought so too.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they actually called it that.
I saw it at the cinema. It had everything needed to kill a couple of hours: kicking arses, hot chicks n dudes, explosions.
ReplyDeletePerfect.
Would I fork out money for a DVD?
Probably not.
PS. Christopher Eccleston = hot. I would. He's say 'hello' and I'd be nekkid by the time his lips formed the 'o'.
ReplyDeleteChanning Tatum is a really stupid name it sounds like its the wrong way round Tatum channing would be much better
ReplyDeleteI agree with Beast - I've often thought it should be Tatum Channing. It's like he's so dense that he read it with the surname first off a form or something and just kept using it like that.
ReplyDeleteRoses, his accent is so sexy! Makes me weak at the knees. Although Channing is just so damn hot I can hardly focus when he's on screen. Mmmm.
ReplyDeleteBeastie don't you think Tatum is a girls name? There was a girl/woman who won an Oscar back in the day. She was named Tatum but I don't remember if that was her first or last name. I did have trouble typing his name because it was confusing. Or maybe it was my lack of focus because he was so damn hot
ReplyDeleteHah! That's kind of funny, I wish that was the reason.
ReplyDeleteI think people are biased when the person is really beautiful. They/we think they are really dumb because we feel better about ourselves.
Personally I am so jealous because he is younger, rich, gorgeous and could get most people into his bed. I'm thinking, well what a loser I am for not having all that. At least he is dumb as dirt.
And his IQ is probably through the roof like Marilyn Monroes and is it Sharon Stone or Kim Basinger (I always mix those two up) who is a member of Mensa
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I thought I'd already commented, but clearly haven't.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure this isn't soft porn?
Roses: thank you darrrrrling! You too, hope you had a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteIDV: that would explain so much, wouldn't it.
Maybe you confuse this one with the snooze fest that was Twilight?
I haven't seen Twilight, either. My nieces rave about it, but I kind of expected that from teenage girls.
ReplyDeleteOne of them asked me to buy her Twilight. As a joke, I sent her the books. Turns out, she actually likes them and prefers them over the movie! Oh, well, at least she's reading something.
Dear Pete,
ReplyDeleteIs "Tatum Channing" by any chance related to "Stockyard Channing"?
She played Rizzo in Grease.
Could just be a coincidence I suppose but, the names are unusual...
Oh... and she played one of the Whitchy Aunts in "Practical Magic" with Dianne Wies, Ms Bullock and of course Ms Kidman/Cruise/Urban..
Um, new post?

ReplyDeleteBingowings: Good job making her read the books. The books that made me start reading again were the Harry Potter books. It's very important to have good inspiration.
ReplyDeletePrincess: My dear Princess,
Not that I'm aware. He is a very successful Abercrombie & Fitch model though, he's married to a Jenna Dewan and was in the Ricky Martin video She Bangs.
