I saw GI Joe this weekend and loved it. It mixed action with humor and I probably enjoyed Marlon Wayans the best simply because he does sidekick so well. I didn’t know anything about the movie going in and so I wasn’t spoiled by any possible disappointment. I grew up watching the cartoon as a kid and watching this movie was like being 8 years old again, except with better action sequences. I got a personal kick out of who ends up as cobra commander. The actor is one of my favorites and he was appropriately creepy. I had to laugh at the various cameos in the film, Brendan Frasure’s short bit was funny. Snake Eyes and Stormshadow were played well and their fight sequences were amazing. There is some cheese to it, but it fit and gave the movie light hearted moments that made it fun. Overall, I loved it.

The other cool part about movie night last night besides my friend who took me, was that he took me to Cinetopia. OH MY GOSH!!!!
Never been there before or even heard about it. This is how going to the movies should be. Next time, I want to be in the adult only area to see a movie. But even in the general side of the theater, the seats were comfy..I had plenty of room to sit and I’ve got these wide hips to accommodate and they had these hard plastic trays that fit in the drink cups that support any drinks, food, whatever you have. There was a chef in the LOBBY doing some type of grilling that people could take to their seats. If I’m going to pay an arm and a leg for a movie, THIS is the type of theater I want to go to. The owner is building a second one in Beaverton next to Washington Square.
