I'm one of those people who loves to make lists.  I don't know exactly why but I think that it helps me to not only think but to exercise my memory as well.  This is one reason that I enjoy Entertainment Weekly's website, they do a lot of lists.  The most recent one that I saw was their 50 Actors That We'd Watch In Anything.  This list included some of the obvious big Movie Stars that one would think of like Johnny Depp, George Clooney, and Christian Bale. They even covered some smaller named Actors with loyal fan bases like me such as Nathan Fillon, Paul Rudd, and Simon Pegg.  The One Actor that not only surprised me but  Impressed me the most that was on that list was: Drumroll Please:

Tony Leung

It was mainly surprising that he made the list because unlike other Asian Actors who have broken into Hollywood ,Tony is not one of them, he's had movies that have played in American Theaters but he hasn't done a Hollywood film.  Evan though Actors like Simon Yam and Anthony Wong would be on my lists as well it was good to see Tony Leung on a list for an American Magazines website.

     As you can tell from the title this is an Origin Film.  Cobra hasn't been established yet so a few of the characters don't look like they did in the cartoon but they will be established by the end of the movie.  G.I. Joe had some great action and special effects. The Scenes with Snake Eyes ( Ray Park) and Storm Shadow ( Byung-hun Lee )were the best parts of the film.  For Girls this movie has Channing Tatum ( Step Up, Fighting )as Duke and for you guys you get Sienna Miller( Layer Cake, Stardust ) and Rachel Nichols ( Alias ).  Sienna Miller  was Hot as The Baroness and Rachel Nichols was Hot as Scarlett. They added some backstory to connect a few of the characters that didn't exist in the cartoon that I didn't care for. The film isn't great by any means but I did enjoy myself.  If you want to feel nalstagic for G.I. Joe or just see some cool action they your want to check this out, but if you want a movie that makes you think then this isn't for you.

     So Peep This Out!  AnD's! Own D.Y. Sao has a film being released on Dvd on July 4th.  The Same day his Official Site is supposed to be launched too.  If your not already a Fan of his here on AnD! then go check out his official profile and become one at http://www.alivenotdead.com/d.y._sao .  You can also check out the Official Trailer for it there.  The film looks pretty tite, and I for one will be buying a copy the day its released.

     This past weekend was the release of Star Trek.  It made about $75 Million its opening weekend.  I went and saw the Midnight showing when it was released.  I've actually already seen it twice, and yes it is that good.  It was directed by JJ Abrams the creator of Alias and Lost, and the director of Mission Impossible III.  You don't have to be a Star Trek fan to watch this film.  For the most part its an origin story and you don't really need to know much about Star Trek to enjoy it.  Its got great special effects and big explosions.  Chris Pine does a great James Kirk and Zachary Quinto pulls off a perfect Spock and Karl Urban is Doctor "Bones" McCoy Personafied.  Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hott Fuzz) shows up about 80 mins in as Scotty.  All of the characters from the Original Star Trek are recreated for this film and Leonard Nimoy returns as future Spock.  Whether your familiar with Star Trek, Like it or not, I recommend seeing this film for you will walk out with a big smile on your face.
