As it turns out, G.I. JOE is shaping up to NOT be the worst movie ever made, if early reviews of the film are to be believed. It’s supposed to not take itself too seriously (a definite must for the powersuit/ninja/nanobot plotline) and is reportedly just a fun, escapist experience.

The Film Feed: Episode 20 - I Heard You Like Robots?
In this episode of The Film Feed, the guys celebrate their 20 episode with two special reviews. First up, Clark and Will take a unique position on the summer's massive blockbuster Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Due to their similar thoughts on the film, each takes a differing opinion and tries to make sense of the mindless escapist fun. Afterwards, the guys rave about one the year's finest films, 500 Days of Summer. Also found in this episode, an engaging discussion regarding the recent changes to the Oscar's Best Picture category.
Thrillers built around secrets can be tricky things. For one thing, it sort of creates a situation where anyone who tells you that the film is built around a secret is automatically a prick, since the moment you know there's a secret, you start looking for the secret or trying to get ahead of it, and it can detach you from the narrative you're watching as you get all hung up on the structure of the script.

New To Theatres This Weekend: Fast & Furious, Adventureland, Alien Trespass
It's going to be tough for anyone to compete with the biggest and loudest movie opening this weekend, Fast & Furious, but does anyone actually care about the return of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker at this point? If, like me, you still haven't seen a Fast and the Furious movie (and don't care to), you should definitely check out Greg Mottola's Adventureland, which is also in wide release (albeit on a lot less screens). In select theatres we have the '50s sci-fi throwback Alien Trespass, the indie dramedy Gigantic starring Paul Dano and Zooey Deschanel, and the latest film from the makers of Half Nelson, the baseball drama Sugar. Are you planning on seeing any movies this weekend?
