    For everyone looking forward to "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" ... you may continue looking, The studio for some reason has pushed the movie back until next spring ... specifically, March 29, 2013. I have heard a variety of rumored reasons, yet none of them make a lick of sense to me. Why would you push the release date of any movie featuring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson back almost a full year. You don't push "The Rock" back. Who does that?

                                                                        

     Scheduled for release in June 2013 "Superman: The Man of Steel" has been extremely secretive. No surprise. The movie directed by Zack Snyder is produced by Christopher Nolan, director of "The Dark Knight Rises", who is the master of secrecy. However, a few images from the set have made their way onto the internet. The two seen here are Henry Cavill as Superman and Russell Crowe as Jor-El.

For those who aren't interested in being in a movie theatre for more than two hours there is an alternative. Based on what I've heard from people I've talked to I'm certain that there will be plenty of Marvel Movie viewing parties throughout the country. Why not get yourself invited to one, or you can host your own.

If you thought the first movie was action packed, then hold on for dear life.

That's one of those technical terms I won't define here. Use your imagination.
