TRANSFORMERS 3 will be in 3D, won’t suck as much as TRANSFORMERS 2

I guess Michael Bay isn’t quite as deafened from all those explosions as I thought. He’s grudgingly admitted that the racist robot Twins from Revenge Of The Fallen weren’t very funny, so they’ve been axed from the threequel. He’s also referred to the Fallen character, the primary antagonist of Number 2, as “shit.” And while he concedes that the franchise could...

Megan Fox will not be acting/appearing/sweating in TRANSFORMERS 3

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen was fucking atrocious. There’s no finer way to put it.  The first film was barely tolerable but the sequel was a horrendous pile of scrap metal that happened to make a bucket-load of cash. The only thing I enjoyed was being able to smirk at the screen whenever Michael Bay blatantly took advantage of Megan Fox’s assets in sweaty slow motion– it was...

Shia LaBeouf knows TRANSFORMERS 2 was crap; promises a better TRANSFORMERS 3

Shia LaBeouf ain’t scared of nothin’. He got Nintendo fanboys’ jocks in a knot when he basically called the Wii antithetical to gaming itself, and now he’s looking to knock Transformers 2 fanboys down a peg by pointing out how shit it was. Well, not in so many words, but listen to the bloke chat at a recent Cannes interview (ostensibly about Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps): When I...

TRANSFORMERS 3 will almost certainly suck

If you were to lay out a bunch of headshots, a complete list of casting options for all currently working actors, and asked me who I thought would crop up in the upcoming Michael Bay metal CGI robot fighting fest Transformers 3: Ridiculous Subtitle TBA, quality actors Frances McDormand and John Malkovich would be very near the bottom of the barrel. But, just like in a bad dream where logic holds no sway, this...

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: This time you CAN believe the hype

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY review by Money Talks It’s a shame what constitutes a ‘horror’ film nowadays. Movies like Saw, Hostel and (like it or not) Twilight, are what today’s teens are calling horror. So when a film comes out and knocks your socks off that has little-to-no special-fx, shot with one camera and has a budget far less than what it took to airbrush Megan Fox’s acne scars out of Transformers 2,...

NEW MOON was the only film to crack Google most-searched of 2009

Might as well face facts and accept that Twilight is as huge as it is and will be around for a few more years yet, especially with the third film being released in July and reports that the fourth book might be doing a Harry Potter and being split into two films. To further prove Twilight’s dominance as a pop-culture force to be reckoned with, Google have revealed as part of their annual Zeitgeist...

They’ll keep making trash as long as we keep buying it– and we do

The Hollywood Reporter earlier this week had this interesting tidbit: “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” has stormed into the No. 1 position on the national DVD sales charts. The action film scored a whopping first-week North American sales tally of 3.8 million discs, 500,000 of them on Blu-ray, during the week ended November 8. Some of those units wound up in as rental items, but the majority were sold...

Is it too early to reboot Transformers? And, you know, make it PROPERLY??

With all the reboots and remakes being churned out of Hollywood these days, it wouldn’t be too much to ask for a Transformers reboot, would it?  I’d love to see a decent take on the Transformers universe. You know, Cybertron and all that good stuff. Instead, it seems Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are getting together to discuss making TRANSFORMERS 3. What we gained from TRANSFORMERS 2: One of...

Any excuse to post a picture of Megan Fox – New TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN trailer.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I’m totally prepared to check my brain in at the door and just let Michael Bay kick my ass for two and a half hours without me questioning a thing with this one. To sit in front of a movie like this and scrutinize too hard ruins the intention of a summer blockbuster. This ‘aint Kubrick, this ‘aint Coppola, and I’m aware of...
