G.i. Joe Videos

Hi my name is Derek Crabbe. My screen name over at Bottalk is derekwc, hence the derekwc presents. I was mainly inspired by James Rolfe and his Monster Madness Cinemasscre Reviews (also the Godzilla ones are pretty fun too!). I wanted to focus mainly on comic books adapted into tv shows and films. Kind of short synopsis and review with some historical perspectives and tangents thrown in for fun. There is a vast amount of material to cover and I probably won't have access to all of it, but I thought I'd go ahead and give it a shot. I probably won't have a part up every day and they might not all be in order (but I'll try my best). Note: I'm trying to limit my focus to comic books, maybe I'll go back and do comic strips or manga some other day. Hope you enjoy!

Whether as a fast-talking high schooler in a film noir (Brick) or a disfigured soldier in a big budget blockbuster (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra), Joseph Gordon-Levitt has proven himself to be one of the most talented young actors. His new movie, Uncertainty, takes the viewer on a journey into two different worlds, where a flip of a coin takes a young couple (Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins) into an innocuous visit to her family and decisions about their future and another takes them into a strange criminal underworld where everyone is after a cell phone they found in a cab. Directed by David Siegel and Scott McGehee, Uncertainty was filmed on the fly with hand-held cameras in S16m and HD as the couple race towards their different futures. In this interview, we discuss the freedom of improvising within a structured world, his favorite movies, and what he can't say about G.I. Joe sequels or Christopher Nolan's Inception. Cinematical: Can you discuss the beginning of the movie a bit? I was confused if it was symbolic or literal or what. Joseph Gordon-Levitt: What do you think was happening? Cinematical: Well, I went back and I watched it again and wasn't sure. Joseph Gordon-Levitt: I don't want to be evasive or anything... You know, it's the kind of movie that's meant to stimulate a conversation or provoke your own creative thoughts about it, so I hesitate to say, "Well, what it means is blah blah blah." First of all, because it means something different to everybody. And second of all, I would never want anybody to say, "Well, I read an interview where the actor said that it means blah blah blah, so it means that and it doesn't mean anything else. 'Cause to me that's the beauty of movies, is that it can mean really whatever you want. The act of watching a movie, I think, is a creative act; it's not just input. All of us, as audience members, we're telling the story the way that we see it.Filed under: Action, Drama, Independent, New Releases, New in Theaters, InterviewsContinue reading Interview: Joseph Gordon-Levitt on 'Uncertainty', 'Inception' and His Favorite Movies Permalink | Email this | Comments

Back in August was when G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra hit the screens, and while I had no reason to expect anything but a merciless brain-pummeling from the experience, I walked out suitably impressed with the flick's popcorn-tastic mentality. I even ended my review with this: "Truth be told, the flick's action centerpiece, a crazy chase through Paris, will soon be on heavy blu-ray rotation around my house." Yes, the director who slapped me with The Mummy Returns and pummeled me with Van Helsing is now back in my good graces. (The awesomely amusing Deep Rising is always the tie-breaker for Stephen Sommers.) You can enjoy my wonderfully insightful G.I. Joe review right here if you like, but this time out I just want to focus on the blu-ness and not the wackness: If you liked the flick, you want to own it on Blu-ray, trust me on that one. The supplemental features are basic but well-produced: there's an audio commentary with Sommers and producer Bob Ducsay that shows a good deal of enthusiasm and preparation on their part, plus on disc 2 you'll find a pair of rather slick and thorough featurettes: the 30-minute The Big Bang Theory is the "catch-all" behind-the-scenes piece that covers a lot of bases, and Next-Gen Action (about 20 minutes) focuses more intently on the special effects and production design.Filed under: DVD Reviews, Home EntertainmentContinue reading Hello, My Name is Scott and I Love the 'G.I.

The ever devious Cobra Commander sneaks onto the set of the G.I. Joe movie and infects the food with E. coli.

Look back at five of the most hyped action films of this year's summer blockbuster season. It's either good or bad but nothing in between.

My first Top Ten dedicated to the bad guys - the "heroes" that made our favorite childhood cartoons even better and sometimes even more hillarious! If you liked the video - feel free to rate, comment and subscribe! All the Footage Used In This Video Belongs To Their Respective Owners.

Are we gung-ho for G.I. Joe? Does the Champions Online beta fly? Peter Jackson's new film: chills on a smaller scale? 'Splosion Man is blowing up! Plus, Empire Strikes Back has plot holes?

In this video, we look into the universe of everyone's favorite action figure: G.I. Joe.

If you were an action figure kid or a cartoon lover in the 80's, there's no way you escaped G.I.Joe... so you're either excited or horrified with what is coming to the silver screen in August. An American Baroness, goofy looking armour suits and a Wayans brother aren't helping the situation.~Matt + Nat
