G.I. Joe: Retaliation (review)
You get the G.I. Joes for Christmas. Hooray! You make them cross the demilitarized zone between the china cabinet and the DVDs near the TV to rescue Barbie. *pawft pawft pawft pawft* — enemy fire.
Bruce Willis

Stuff my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
A Good Day to Die Hard (review)
Bland generic action pudding that manages to be sociopathic, too.
question of the day: What nontraditional Christmas movie traditions do you have?
(Apparently some folks think Die Hard is a “nontraditional” Christmas movie…)
The Cold Light of Day (review)
Brought to you by the Madrid Film Tax Credit Production Office and the Society for the Promotion of Henry Cavill as the Next Big Thing!
question of the day: Who are the unlikeliest action heroes ever?

The Expendables 2 (review)
What this dumb movie wants you to find absolutely hilarious is random 80s action heroes — this flick is lousy with ’em — now puffy with age and sporting embarrasingly bad dye jobs popping up in deus ex actioner situations…
G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2nd trailer, plus notes from a footage reveal)
What we see here, it seems to me, is a blockbuster made more for a global audience than a solely U.S. one…
Looper (trailer)
After Brick and The Brothers Bloom, I’d follow Rian Johnson anywhere. And now he’s going for time travel! *geek swoon*
The Cold Light of Day (trailer)
I had this deep thought recently: Sigourney Weaver is the new Gene Hackman.
