Have you
guys been reading all of the positive buzz for GI Joe:
The Rise Of Cobra? I was convinced that it was
going to end up being the worst film of the year, but now I
don't think so. Too bad the screening I'm attending
isn't until this Thursday, I'd love to see it sooner.
Time for the news. Read on.

Renner (The Hurt Locker) has said that he is in the

Of The Caribbean 4. Rob Marshal (Chicago) is the latest to

directed the first two.
Looks like the next Aliens flick is actually going to
be directed by Ridley Scott. It was rumored that he
would only produce.

who get kidnapped.
