G.I. Joe Is A No Show For Critics
Paramount has got movie critics at major newspapers and magazines across the nation all in a tizzy by refusing to give them an advanced screening of G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra.

However, the few early reviews that have leaked out mainly from Internet sites have been surprisingly positive. Could it be that G.I. Joe is actually a good movie? Or has the bar been set so low that moviegoers can’t help but find the movie exceeding their expectations?

The break into big name projects such as G.I. Joe and Popgun came with his work on Wildguard: Fools Gold #1 by Todd Nauck, who was looking for someone available and who, Dale said, could do pages, “lightening fast,” and from there forward Dale has kept himself busy with multiple projects, but he does have a soft spot for his work on G.I. Joe. Read more

Yes, you read that correctly, Asteroids. Read more
Super Bowl Commercials: Movie Trailers Ranked By A Comic Book Geek
One of the great things about the Super Bowl is that movie studios often premiere new trailers for their upcoming blockbuster motion pictures during the Big Game. Given the success of The Dark Knight and Iron Man, many upcoming movies have themes that are rooted either in comic books, sci-fi, action figures, or Saturday morning shows.
During the Super Bowl, I watched and have reviewed all the various Super Bowl commercial movie trailers. I have ranked the Super Bowl commercial movie trailers according to how interested I was in them as a comic book fan.
