G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Starring:Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, RayPark, Rachel Nichols, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

Directed by: tephen Sommers

What's the Story
Duke and Ripcord are two specially trained military operatives who join an elite international team called "G.I. Joe." This highly-skilled unit works under the radar, answers to no one, uses the latest in ultra-high-tech equipment, and does not accept failure as an option. Their current assignment will take them all over the world as they go head-to-head with an infamous arms dealer known as Destro and learn the dark truths behind the ominous new organization known only as "Cobra."

Three Good Reasons
1. Director Stephen Sommers, best known for The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, knows how to bring the action. The way he sees it, this film is his chance to explore some fun, James Bond-like territory.

2. Not familiar with the "G.I. Joe" franchise? Not a problem. The movie is designed to be just as entertaining for newcomers as it is for old fans. And the writers say it's inspired by the early '80s comic book more than the cartoon series.

3You haven't seen a grrrlfight until you've seen Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols face off as Scarlett and the Baroness. Actual injuries were incurred during filming.

Bet U didn't Know
While Duke and Cobra Commander may be arch-nemeses, the actors playing them, Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, are best friends in real life. They met on the movie Stop-Loss where they played soliders, naturally. Now you know that. And knowing is half the battle.
