Netflix Instant: Movie & TV Picks

 This week's Netflix post is a little bit on the more mainstream side of things as far as Netflix is considered but it doesn't mean it's not full of good stuff! Check them out below.

For Funsies: Join the Cobra Special Forces Team!

Guys. In less than two months, the greatest sequel of last year will finally be released... G.I. JOE: RETALIATION. We've seen multiple trailers over the past year and half, and now in the final months leading up to the release, it seems the marketing department has started a viral campaign.

Up first is a recruiting video to join the evil Cobra Special Forces.






So which side will you choose? Are you a Joe? or a Cobra?

G.I. JOE: RETALIATION will be released March 29, 2013, is directed by John Chu, and stars Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Adrianne Palicki, Byung-hun Lee, and Channing Tatum

New G.I. JOE RETALIATION Trailer Drops!

The first G.I. JOE film did not interest me. At all. It looked silly and boring. However, after much persuasion, my cohort convinced me to watch it, and man was I shocked at how fun the film was and how much I ended up enjoying it. When the sequel was announced, there was excitement all around the blog. While seeing MISSION: POSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL in IMAX, we saw this trailer and nearly jumped out of our seats with excitement.

Unfortunately, to everyone's dismay, the film got pushed back from a June 2012 release to March 2013. Studios initially said it was to up-convert to 3D; a decision I would assume one would make before releasing a bunch of trailers or a multi-million dollar Super Bowl spot. Then reports came out that producers wanted to cash in on the success of Channing Tatum and expand his part in the second film. That, I can agree with.

But now we're in the home stretch to find out if delaying RETALIATION almost a year will be worth it. Javi seems to think so. This film is one of his most anticipated of 2013.

Thanks to Break.com, we have a new trailer for the film which features more ninjas and Bruce Willis.

Most Anticipated Movies of 2013: Javi Edition

This is just a short list of movies that I'm looking forward to next year. It's not that comprehensive but these should be great fun unless they completely mess them up. The theme of this new year is definitely  "bad ass directors that finally have movies coming out after a long hiatus." Check out my picks below.

2nd GI JOE RETALIATION Trailer Drops! Now with 75% More Tatum!

I'm of two minds regarding his movie. Back when the first trailer showed up, I was really into it. It seems that they were going to be killing of the world's most charming potato, Channing Tatum, pretty early on in the film to make way for a new team. Right before the release, the studio delayed the movie by a year for an up-conversion to 3D, supposedly. This trailer shows off the real reason for the delay.

 Now, this new trailer show Tatum's Duke in an expanded role along with the Rock. I will say I'm a little disappointed that they weren't bold enough to kill off Duke. So while I'm still excited for this movie, I liked the idea of having a series of GI JOE movies that replace the team with each outing since they're really the most boring characters of the franchise compared the Cobra group. But see for yourself and tell me what you think! Check out the new trailer below thanks to Yahoo! Screen via Film School Rejects.
