I liked G.I. Joe: Retaliation quite a bit better thant The Place Beyond The Pines, both of which I review for MSN Movies, as you might infer. (Click on the link-things!) Weirder things have happened. Looking at the above still, in which the blurry one is Adrianne Palicki, I shudder to think what the very-preoccupied-with-masculinity Pines director Derek Cianfrance would do with Bruce Willis if he ever got to his very-preoccupied-with-masculinity mitts on him. I like to think Bruce Willis is smart enough to not even think of going there.

I approve of said liking of GI Joe. I’ve heard some say they wish it were more “adult,” but that’s looking for a different movie altogether.
Hey there, kids. Testing out my commenting capacity. Feelin’ the groove. Seeing where the day takes me and all that.
