Film Reviews - "G.I. Joe" "Funny People" and "The Perfect Getaway"

We're back on the air and only a day (or two) late.  But to make up for lost time, this week we bring you a smorgasbord of entertainment content with reviews of three big films, and with surprising results. But the star, of course, is Hasbro's adaptation of the classic cartoon-to-sell-toys, G. I. Joe. But does Joe justify its big screen adaptation, or like Transformers 2, should this film have stayed shut up in the "toy box of shame" you have sitting under you bed.

...what? I said you have sitting under your bed...hey, shut up!

It's time to rock, rock on! It's Weekly Monotony.
