i just saw a review for Michael Bay's latest movie and i had to read it... i had seen a preview for this in the theater, which caused me to (no kidding) go into fits of uncontrolled laughter (no, it is not a comedy)... and this was before i realized it was Michael Bay doing the film. As you may remember (or, perhaps you've repressed the memory), M.B. is the perpertrator of "movie which must not be named" - referring to an attack on an American Naval facility in the Hawaiian islands on Dec 7, 1941. Anyway, his latest release (and i know you've all been waiting for it) is: TRANSFORMERS!! Yes, a movie about a toy that inspired a cartoon show (or was it the other way around )... Here is part of the review: "With "Transformers," Michael Bay has either made a big, dumb summer adventure for the little boy in all of us or the world's most-expensive General Motors commercial. Actually, it's a great deal of both, but as good as director Bay is at blowing things up and crafting wild visuals of those shape-shifting toys that were all the rage in the 1980s, "Transformers" is far more effective as a car ad than an action epic. Images of the sleek new Camaro that Chevrolet is introducing for the 2009 model year are pervasive throughout the movie, and the car winds up a more memorable figure than the robot Transformers themselves (though the machine characters do have more personality than any of the humans on screen)."
