Terrific one on one interview with Stephen Sommers by Latino Review!

So, if anyone has read my review, they know I have a few questions and issues about some changes in dialog or events from the upcoming film.  Well, El Mayimbe from Latino Review sat down with Stephen Sommers and got a great interview, and some awesome details about the film and potential sequels!  There are some minor spoilers, so I’ll fully discuss this after the jump.

(more…)

I have seen the Rise of COBRA…and it was….

Good?  Great?  Somewhere in between?

I’ve gotta spend a few minutes setting up the scene.  Last night was an adventure and a half.  The three plus hour drive to Warwick, Rhode Island was mostly uneventful, though I did hit some Targets on the way down and got myself some Wave 3 troop builders…  but no Pit Commandos, dammit.  However, once the Charity Screening event started, it was just that…an event!  Mingling in the crowd with so many other folks from the general public as well as Hasbro people, Stephen Sommers, Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, media folks, and yes, Rachel Nichols, was an amazing spectacle.  Something a small town boy like me doesn’t get to experience very often.

Perhaps it was the high from the event itself, or perhaps it was because I was in the front of the theater on a monster screen, but the film was..well…it was nuts.  Tons of action, lots of stuff happening all at once, yet not too much to keep track of.  My head was sorta swimming a bit, but now that I’ve had some time to mull it over, I’m ready to post my review(s).

Yeah, I did two of them.  How lame is that?  A lot of the info in the two is the same, but I’ve separated them into a “Spoiler Free” version and a “Spoiler Full” version.  You can choose which path you take.  A word of warning, the Spoiler Full one has a LOT more detail, because, obviously, being able to talk about character specifics and specific events helps me to flesh out the review a bit better.

I knew it was going to be a good night when Stephen Sommers stood in front of the crowd and said “If you have to use the rest room, use it now, because there won’t be time to do it when the film starts”.

He was right.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA video game ON SALE NOW – almost half price!

For folks who think the new G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA game looks like fun, but they’re not sure it’s worth the $60.00, according to JoeCanuck.com, Dell has the PS3 and X-Box 360 versions of the game ON SALE NOW for $32.99!  This includes free shipping!  Sale ends tomorrow, so get going, post haste:

I can’t post a review of the game until tomorrow, but it’s pretty fun!  A mindless, very arcade-like shooter that ain’t deep and thought-provoking, but so far, it has been fun.  More details to come.
