'Saved by the Bell' reunion; No 'G.I. Joe' for critics

'Saved by the Bell' kids hook up for a photo shoot
Check out the People.com photos of the "Saved by the Bell" kids 20 years after their fake high-school days ended. Tell me who looks a day over 30?

Click into the second photo. Now back to the first. See what I see? Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle), Tiffani Thiessen (Kelly Kapowski) and Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie Spano) are so much prettier. Even Mario Lopez (A.C. Slater) is all cleaned-up nice. However, out of the entire crowd,  his face is still the most familiar thanks to his recent and continuing TV work - such as "Dancing with the Stars," "America's Best Dance Crew" and "Extra."  Zack Morris (actor Mark-Paul Gosselaar), however, doesn't seemed to have changed much at all... if at all.

About seven photos into the photo gallery, we find Screech! Dustin Diamond, however, is not real close with his old "high-school" buddies, says People.com. Guess starring in a porno will do that to ya. That, and the fact that he's looking to publish a tell-all about the show.  As for a reunion episode, no real word yet.  For such a thing to happen, someone's busy schedule would have to clear.  (People/Yahoo!Buzz)

Paramount won't show critics 'G.I. Joe'
As far as Cube is concerned it's a waste of time for most critics to review sci-fi and action movies. They never seem to like kicking action flicks anyway. Better yet, those same moves turn around and break box office records, and the critics look like old fogies who hate playing on the Interwebs.  Would separating critics by their favored genre help any? Paramount must think so. The film company did screen the movie to select bloggers and movie Web sites. That said, maybe we should always assume  a movie critics aren't allowed to see has to be baaaaaad.(AP)
