So I know no one bothers to read my journals but I feel like venting so

First of all I finally saw GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Not nearly as horrible as i'd been expecting. Even the goofy "accelerator suits" and Marlon Wayans couldn't ruin it for me. The one thing that WAS just as horrible as I'd been led to believe was Cobra Commander. Great origin and an interesting new take on the character but whoever designed his costumes, particularly the mask he wears when he finally refers to himself as "Commander" needs to be drug out in the street and shot. What was wrong with the blue hood or mirrored glass faceplate? Yes they're goofy but we're used to them. This just looked awful.

Still a good movie though definitely a must see for fans of action movies.

However tonight I saw (and was severely disappointed by) Whiteout. Maybe it's just me but the trailer seemed to imply that whatever they were dealing with was something more than simple human evil. The way it was edited made it seem to me that they had actually found SOMETHING under the ice and it was killing them. Maybe it's just 'cause I haven't seen a good monster movie since Cloverfield. Instead it's all been slashers and High concept junk like Knowing.

I went expecting Predator. I got an episode of CSI: Antarctica.

Turns out the movie is based on a graphic npvel I've never heard of. Had I known this fact I could've saved my money. It's still an ok movie just not what I wanted to see.
