    Actually, I'd be curious what it's like on BD. I just saw it on an international airplane flight. Thought it was so-so.

      I damn near rented the blu-ray over the weekend but just wasn't sure whether or not I'd feel bad over parting with my money if it turns out I hate it. I'll probably watch it eventually and if someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll post comments here.

          Well if I don't like the movie, the ladies could be the redeeming feature... :P

            That's why ugly people aren't in movies(thought Ron Howard keeps putting Clint Howard in movies???)...

            All in all...this movie looked pretty dumb to me. It seemed like a 'save the world' movie that had some G.I.J.O.E. characters in it...they could have easily left the G.I.J.O.E. out of it and still made the same movie...but I'm only speculating because I did not actually see the movie...I bet it sounds gr8 though :T

              I actually didn't mind it and thought it was better than Transformers 2 in fact. Yeah it was mindless entertainment, the plot was predictable and the character development was pretty much non-existent, but it was what it was, an action flick with lots of action. Great PQ and SQ on BR as well. I wouldn't buy it, but I had no issues with the rental.

                Yeah I'll likely go for a rental and shut down my brain.

                      I borrowed it from my buddy.
                      It wasnt a great movie as far as the story goes. But it was entertaining and there was some damn fine females to drool over.

                      Great SQ and PQ. Good no brainer entertaining way to spend a few hrs.

                        It was definitely a Popcorn/Brain Dump flick with good action sequences.

                        Peace and blessings,

                          After watching this last night, I couldn't agree more, Azeke. And even though most of the scenes were in environments on the darker side, the hi-def PQ just popped, and the audio was pretty good, too. I wouldn't care to watch it again, but I don't regret renting it.

                            I was silly enough to have gone and bought this.Forever will I think of this movie as G.I. Joke.Go to Rotten tomatoes...Seems very few liked it there as well.

                              I skipped right to "quick reply" and intentionally did not read others posts to start with, I'll do that shortly.

                              What a dud. No acting, no dialog, little story. The only thing going for it was the special effects, and I thought they were a overdone mash up.

                              I would have to be payed to watch this again.

                                Watched this DVD last night. Terrible sound (as is usually the case with Jefferson Airplane CD's as well). Pretty bad PQ as well. Still, if you were a fan of this group back in the days, a very enjoyable remembrance. It interviews ex-Airplane members between clips of them performing on rooftops,...

                                Director William Friedkin is in top form with his latest flick KILLER JOE. It stars Matthew McConaughey as Killer Joe, a corrupt Texas police detective who moonlights as a killer for hire. When Emile Hirsch ( a two bit drug dealer ) can't come up with some owed money, his life is threatened. With agreement...

                                Joe Jackson, has long been one of my guilty pleasures. While his music style is hard to catagorize, the skill of his piano play is not. I began to enjoy his talent when he released the album: "Nite & Day". On it was one of my favorites, "Breaking us into". A sorta ballad, with...

                                I'm curious how this movie is. Growing up, I was a big fan of G.I. Joe. One of my fondest Christmas memories, that year they released the G.I. Joe aircraft carrier toy. That thing was massive... something like 5 feet long. I wanted it, of course, and did the beg-your-parents-incessantly...

                                At our Houston HT meet this last weekend, one of our more distinguished regular members - Mr. Bill Cushman, projector reviewer for Widescreen Review magazine - was commenting on various projector manufacturer's and responses they got from focus groups. One really bugged me (and Bill also, I believe)...
