It's been a while...

Okay so I'm not very good at this whole weekly thing. I have been way busy this past week.

So far everything seems to be about the same. Dave and I are starting to write our first feature film which we hope to film later this year. Okay on to the movie review.

I've been pretty busy but I was able to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and boy do I wish I hadn't. The first Transformers was about a boy and his car, except the car is actually a shape shifting robot, stay with me on this one, that had come to Earth to stop the Decepticons from obtaining the all spark, a device with ultimate power. Transformers was an enjoyable film and that's saying a lot since it is Micheal Bay and it was a movie based on a wildly conceived toy line. Transformer: RotF however is a plot less, mind numbingly stupid film. The only parts of this film that I actually enjoyed were the ones when Optimus was kicking some robot ass, and even those scenes were stupefied with lines like, "You're a tin can!" or "You piece of scrap!" The entire movie completely offended me with how stupid it was. There's Sam (Shia LeBeof) who was a likable nerdy guy in the first film and has now become a complete whiny dick in the new one. There's Mikela (Megan Fox) who although a 2-D character, was at least strong willed and independent in the first movie, has now become a shriveling mess of boyfriend dependency. The robot's that were once cool and warrior like are now reduced to one liners and swearing. Now, I'm not against swearing obviously but for a kids movie this one has a lot of it, and I think it's completely stupid that the robots swear as well, come on!

Of course by now everyone has heard of the offensive twins, I can see why people would get offended. What I don't understand is why do some Transformers have accents? I think it is just lazy writing that the robots have been reduced to racial caricatures. And it makes me sick thinking of how much money was put into making those twins look like characters from the Homiez figurines. Oh and there is the mysterious disappearance of John Hurt's character, At least one actor was smart enough to turn this movie down. There is a lot of things that bug me about this movie, from the now dubbed 'Deceptislut' to the Transformer 'Scrotum' to Tom Kenny (Spongebob Squarepants) voicing seemingly every Transformer to having almost no plot at all. And as for the score, I feel bad that Hans Zimmer has been reduced to working around a Linkin Park song. Don't get me wrong, I liked old Linkin Park but they seem to not want to go away. All in all there are way to many things I hated about this film and I wouldn't suggest this to anyone. Save that $8 and go buy yourself a DVD of a good movie, or go see a much better film.

Well that's all for this week, I hope to have more to come soon. Until next time. -Ko
