‘Julia’ and ‘G.I. Joe’
This past weekend, just-released “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” took in about $30 million more than just-released “Julie and Julia.” We discuss the public hunger to see “Joe,”despite the damning reviews, with a moviegoer who really cares: 10-year-old Detroit resident Grant Headlee. We also get the critics’ take from Ben Fritz, Los Angeles Times staff reporter.
