• I forgot to mention that Battle Royale is actually legitimately heartbreaking. I didn't expect that.

• GI Joe Retaliation I had zero expections for the first film, and that helped it be moderately entertaining. but with that movie setting the bar, I now had some expectations for the new film. were they met? did they surpass it? I think they did. I don't know. I can say that in an age where half the world knows exactly what'll happen in a movie before a trailer even premieres, this movie is a cinematic achievement in secret-keeping. walk into this movie knowing that 95% of the jokes will fall flatter than flat, and some plot points will be so inexplicably "what?" that you'll turn to the guy next to you and shrug in a room full of confusion. but there are a few little charming things that make the movie worth it. one scene in particular involving an over enthusiastic member of the president's cabinet. keep a lookout for that guy. this stuff is grade A cheese.

  a note on that action. I can't remember what happened in the first one, but I remember robot suits? this movie had no robot suits, and the Joes are more like marines or something? I don't know. so in the GI cinematic universe, the only thing that makes them special this time around is that they have a ninja. but the ninja does so many cool things, and a few of those things involve a mountain and an out-of-nowhere cameo appearance.

  Taken 2 how did this happen a second time?! but now the family is used to this stuff, and they make quick work of it this time around. Liam Neeson uses maps and ears in creative ways. and you can safely assume that common sense laws do not apply in countries that are not America. expect lots of quick transitions that feel like they came straight from a US Navy commercial, and a bunch of bad guys that are really bad at their jobs. I don't know. I will say that this movie might be worth it to watch Liam Neeson in a scene involving normal middle-aged men. he mentions basketball and it's just perfect. I want that movie. I want a movie where Liam Neeson tries to be a normal person. this franchise is almost it if it weren't for him killing a few people.

  Battle Royale this was much more Hunger Games than Hunger Games. but instead of cliche YA sci-fi, they went with rad 80's sci-fi. a much better creative decision! teens die in this movie. fun stuff!
