Finally I was able to take some time out of my hectic schedule and see GI Joe last night.

It was fantastic, very upbeat and full of action. I loved the full story line with Snake Eyes and Shadowstorm, Duke, Ana and Rex and off course the McCullen/Destro legacy. Although to be honest there wasn't enough Chris for me and when I left the theater I was thinking about how ANYONE can play McCullen/Destro now that the mask had been applied. You know they will make a sequel, probably two more like Transformers, but I don't see Chris coming back for that. We will probably see flashbacks but that is it.

All in all the movie was great and I think the people giving the bad reviews are the ones who are GI Joe freaks who want a movie that sticks exactly to the comic books and cartoons of the 80's. I just say that is boring and the movie would have been a flop if it had. Who wants to see a bunch of guys running around in camouflage suits for two hours. I like the shiny suits!

I give it 5 out of 5 

I had to go and watch an 11 pm night show because of my schedule and on my next day off I will go see it again but not so late.

In honor of his opening night in A Doll's House, I sent Chris a gift basket  from ChrisEccleston.com and The Ladies of The Little Hulton Forums.

Unfortunately,  because I am across the pond I cannot catch the performance. Tanja and Jadiza of The Little Hulton Forums will be attending the show wearing their ChrisEccleston.com T-shirts. Way to Represent Ladies!!!

There's an odd credit in the back of the programme to this powerful revival by young film-maker Kfir Yefet of Ibsen's breakthrough play about a doomed and argumentative marriage starring the luminescent Gillian Anderson of X-Files fame: the historical adviser is none other than Ffion Hague, wife of the former Conservative Party leader and published chronicler of Downing Street marriages. Does that explain why Zinnie Harris has translated her new version from late 19th century Norway to Edwardian London in 1909 and shifted the tale of intrigue, fraud and betrayal from the world of finance to that of politics? …

It's worth noting the superb playing of Eccleston and Tara Fitzgerald (once a fine Nora herself at the Birmingham Rep) as his true love, Mrs Lyle (Mrs Lynde in Ibsen), and Nora's best friend, in the sub-plot recipe for a slightly more ideal marriage. The play still bristles with hurt, relevance and anger, and didn't really need the political patina. Nice job, though.
