    I for one can't wait. I hope it gets the transformers treatment. however with the "All Star" cast (snicker) I feel we may be let horribly down. I hope COBRA does'nt win this time, by supplying a crap writer, (He is not bad actually), with the knowlege of the Joe stories. Especially Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow (Which I heard through a grapevine also play in the film, not casted tho)!!! (Snicker)

    Rachel Nichols earned roles in the television series "Line of Fire" (Don't Remember this!), "Dumb and Dumberer" (Like I would stick that On "MY" acting resume!!), plus the 2005 horror movies, "The Amityville Horror" (Sh*tty Re-Make), and "The Woods", "P2" (Another bad film) & the new film "Charlie Wilson's War".

    Akinnuoye-Agbaje is perhaps best known for his role as the cunning, fierce super-criminal Adebisi on "Oz" & also he his best known for his roles in the movies Congo (1995) and The Mummy Returns (2001)!!
    Now that is what I call great screen credits! NOT!
