Earlier this week, I stated the blatantly apparent when I stated that Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem was a horrible, horrible piece of non-art. Well, you can just call me Capt. Obvious, because I just finished watching John Rambo and I’ve got more of the same. Ready?
John Rambo is an incredibly violent movie… there I said it. Yeah. Anyone who knows anything about Rambo movies can tell you that. But the reason John Rambo is worth an entire review, and not just a twitter, is because in addition to being violent beyond my expectations, it’s actually pretty good.

I watched Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem last night. Here’s my quick, and I mean REALLY QUICK, impression:
It’s a fairly predictable and, frankly, disposable film. AvP2:R good example of all that is wrong with Hollywood blockbusters. This is a film that’s designed to get butts into seats with little regard for their experience once the the ticket has been sold.

If you have issues with suspending disbelief, then skip Speed Racer. If you don’t have a sense of humor, then skip Speed Racer. If your inner child is all grown up, then skip Speed Racer.
This is a film that makes no apologies about what it is and what it isn’t. This is a film about racing, crashing and speed. This is a film for kids… and I recommend you see it.

If seeing Marlon Wayans in full battle gear doesn’t disturb you just a little bit, then I don’t know what will. What we have here is the youngest Wayans brother in full costume as Ripcord for the upcoming GI Joe motion picture. I’m looking at the cast list on IMDb for the other black characters and I see Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje from Oz playing Heavy Duty, but don’t see where anyone’s playing Roadblock (which is cool, because I hate Roadblock).
According to Tyler Durden:
…an exclusive look at the cast of next summers “G.I. Joe”, starring Rachel Nichols as Scarlett, Channing Tatum as Duke, Karolina Korkova as Cover Girl, Marlon Wayans as Ripcord, Byung-hun Lee as Storm Shadow, Sienna Miller as The Baroness, Ray Park as Snake Eyes, and Dennis Quaid as Hawk.
Pictures of Ray Park as Snake Eyes have been floating around the web for a few weeks and I have to say, that’s one bad-ass looking ninja! And we’ve seen Park’s work as Darth Maul in Star Wars:Ep 1, so we know the choreography will be EPIC. But seeing the rest of the cast in the X-Men meets the Matrix black rubber suits, has dampened my enthusiasm a bit. Especially, the goofy looking, white suited Storm Shadow.

I don’t know whether to be excited about this or horrified. On one hand, Black Panther (arguably one of the oldest and best black superheroes) is getting an animated series! YES! On the other hand, it’s going to be on BET (arguably the worst thing to happen to black culture since Jim Crow). NO! I hate BET so much that I removed it from the auto-program on my TV. I’ve never been so torn in all of my life.
According to Variety:
Marvel Comics has signed a deal to turn one of its superheroes, the Black Panther, into a primetime animated series for BET, starting early next year.
BET made the announcement at its upfront presentation in New York as the highlight of a batch of new series being readied for the 2008-09 season, under the supervision of Reginald Hudlin, president of entertainment for BET.
This is going to be either very, very good or very, very bad. I guess we’ll have to wait and see! For more info, check out: BET cages ‘Black Panther’ - Entertainment News, TV News, Media - Variety
