‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ Has Same Problems As 1987’s Animated Movie
Paramount should have known they couldn’t mess with this franchise’s fanbase — and knowing is half the battle.
Let’s face it—the first G.I. Joe movie sucked, why would the sequel be any better? They can retool all they want, and delay four years, it’s still going to be gawd-awful.
Tonight is the night for fans of William Shatner’s Weird or What? At 10:15 (ET/PT) tonight, Weird or What?returns for a third season on History Television in Canada, and it’s bound to be another interesting, strange season.
Delving into mysteries that have no explanations, Weird or What? is hosted by the famed Canadian actor, and looks into odd happenings around the world, and then looks for possible explanations with scientific and supernatural sources.
The official description of the show calls it, “an irresistible journey into the eerie, the unknown, and the unexplained,” but what I love the most is that the series takes the mysteries seriously, and looks at them from a number of angles, letting the viewer come up with the final decision on what they’ve seen.
Weird or What? is also the genuine article, avoiding the hysteria seen among other shows like it.
Catch it each Monday on History Television in Canada and follow the series on Facebook.
Episode 1 synopsis: “Amazing Survival”
Three incredible stories of people who cheated death: on 9/11, a man survives impossible odds in the collapse of the World Trade Center; a Texas man is cut in two by a freak rail accident; a safari guide in Zimbabwe is savagely attacked by a hippo but lives to tell his story.

“Land of Dreams” by Rosanne Cash
I had no idea that the “Land of Dreams” song from the Discover America ads was by Rosanne Cash. Seriously love it.
The official poster for the next James Bond film, Skyfall, debuting in theatres on October 24.
RIP, Donna Summer, the Queen of Disco.
Great poster, perhaps mostly because it reminds me so much of the old cartoon! You know, where Spider-Man would be swinging along above all the other buildings.
In other words, what building could possibly be tall enough for him to be swinging that far above the rest of the city?
Choreographer and creative director Laurieann Gibson left Toronto at the age of 17 to make a name for herself in New York City, and since then she has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry; from Mary J. Blige, Beyoncé, and Notorious B.I.G., to Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj. In addition to her work directing music videos, Gibson has also made appearances on the shows So You Think You Can Dance and Making the Band.
Now, working once again in Toronto, Gibson is one of the three judges for the second season of Global’s Canada Sings, a competition reality show where teams of everyday co-workers have to create a one-off singing and dancing performance that could earn their favorite charity $25,000. Judging alongside Jann Arden and Rob Van Winkle, better known as Vanilla Ice, Canada Sings is set to debut tonight, May 15, on Global at 10:00 PM (ET/PT).
Here’s what Gibson had to say about returning home, her career, and working with these Canadians as they battle it out to help out charities that are very near and dear to their hearts.
TV Show Promo of the Day: J.J. Abrams — of Alias, Lost, and Fringe fame — is at the helm of Revolution, a new drama set in a post-apocalyptic world 15 years “after the lights went out” — or when a mysterious electromagnetic pulse threw humanity back into the 19th century, without cars, phones, or (gasp!) the Internet. Premieres this fall on NBC.

Stunning. I can’t wait. Here’s a question though. Did J.J. Abrams rip off author S.M. Stirling’s concept from ‘Dies The Fire’? Suspiciously similar.
