'G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation' Super Bowl TV Spot Will Impress Viewers

As painfully bad as G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was, it's sequel, Retaliation has made all the right moves thus far in distancing itself from that disaster.  The decision to cast The Rock and Bruce Willis as the leads instead of relying solely on the mumbling beef cake Channing Tatum was the first improvement implemented by director Jon Chu and company.  This year's Super Bowl commercials will include a Retaliation TV spot, and it's fairly good.

'Looper' Director Talks About JGL Becoming Bruce Willis & Time Travel

One movie on everyone's 2012 list of movies to anticipate is the sci-fi, time traveling thriller Looper from Rian Johnson.  Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis star in this tale of an elite hitman, "working for the mob of the future, who recognizes one of his targets is his future self."  Talk about an innovative new form of suicide!

In an interview with the L.A. Times, Johnson reveals some interesting details about this upcoming film (September 28, 2012), including the use of prosthetics by JGL to make him appear more similar to the action star Willis.

"Yo Joe!"The general consensus of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is that it sucked big time and was a box-office failure.  A new director in Jon M. Chu (Step Up 3-D), a more formidable cast of Joes, The Rock and Bruce Willis, plus giving Channing Tatum fewer lines seems to have paid off for the G.I. Joe sequel Retaliation.  A script written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Zombieland, Deadpool) also shows immediate potential for a better sequel ahead in the films first trailer.

Finding out the theatrical release dates of new movies can be almost as exciting as the movies themselves, almost.  Yesterday, one of my favorite movie sites, not named Get the Big Picture.net, BoxOfficeMojo.com posted dates for some of Summit's upcoming movies, such as the film adaptation of Orson Scott Card's sci-fi tale Ender's Game, the sequel to Red and a movie reunion for Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson.
