Moviejournal - transformers

just came back from the friday night screening of transformers at southbank which we unprecedently lined up 1.5 hours before the commencement time. but honest, this is totally worth it. the pre-screening hype has been pretty heated with all the rave online and in traditional media, so i went in with ultra high expectation and trepidation, hence the 1.5 hour lead up time. what i can say after watching it is it doesn't disappoint at all, and excels at all levels as far as summer blockbuster goes. wow.

firstly, megan fox is totally hot as described by countless males. she was definitely a highlight of the film. the whole pace is tight and rapid. bang bumble bee stands up. bang optus prime. bang f22 fleet. bang huge brawl in the city. bang energy cube.

the story line totally doesn't suck. a bit of the independence day aura which is a totally good thing. heroic adventures are celebrated in this film along with all the other virtues we treasure as 10 year olds watching transformer cartoons in the good old days. what changed is the visual. oh the visual. anything less than a 3 storey high wide screen is an insult to this film, transformers deserves nothing less. i doubt anyone watching it on their 17 inch screens from some camshot version is enjoying this because over 10 billion of production for this film simply is made for high-def. i'm so going to get the blu-ray for it.

It's a film that's on another level compare to crappy remakes of this year (yes ocean's 13 and pirates 3 i'm directly making references to you two, fuck you) and i hope this film goes on to win many awards come fall award season in terms of visual effects, and michael bay has just become many teen boy's hero.

Moviejournal - ocean's 13

after a mad mad mercenary season, today's the first day i'm back to nothing-ness. not exactly since now i have to catch up with all those download videos and books reading. but at least something i have total love for and control of.

in the mess of things i decided to watch ocean's 13. a overly boring film i have to confess, the plots has been told multiple times not just by its 2 previous installments. nothing to excite me at all i have to say, and all they managed to conjure up is a mere posing photoshoot for some of the huge stars supposedly standing/sitting together. how shit is that.

no interesting female supporing cast - another minus.

it looks likely i will take a while to recover my writing juice - my creative writing flair - my words reservoir since i've just beeng pouring it out of the past 3 months. as can be seen from the scantly updated blog space (here). it really exhausted me of any desire to put down any additional thoughts besides the strictly academic and argumentative ones.
