Transformers Promise "Fallen"; Sequel Does
PostedJune 29, 2009

from WI
No director cranks out more volume and eye candy than Michael Bay. 'Fallen' won't disappoint except in ways unexpected: a T&A matinee of pin-up poses of Megan Fox, excitable dogs AND a kinky robot, loathesome autobot sterotypes, and stolen plot devices from better films (homage, or accident-not sure), stilted acting, hackneyed dialogue buried by over-the-top clingclangslamblam sound effects, and whambam transforming special effects blur into Jackson Pollock slapping superb CGI onto the screen. Dead civilians? Who cares? Don't kill a soldier or scratch a car. Yes, do see this in a theatre. This won't translate well to small screens. Unzip your head, remove your brain, and don't think about it. That's what makes this a perfect summer movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Cut to the Chases
PostedNovember 18, 2008

Cut to the chase scenes! QOS’s opening car chase defies logic and physics. Since Bourne we've been subjected rapidlyintercut-handheld-motionfilled-MTVedited-get-me-a-dramamine-hallucinatory-oddlyhypnotic montages in film. Unlike Bourne, viewers are voyeurs not participants here. Acting by Craig and Dench : excellent. A less glamorous Bond than we are used to,a colder one. In Craig's eyes we see lust or hatred. Dench as M is 3-dimensional. 007's self doubt in "Casino” isn’t trumped here. Plot’s as confusing as its title. Great to look at but is it more than eye candy? Colors are blues and browns and grays. What, no light in this man's life? Missed Quantum on the big screen? Rent it. And take solace that you saved gas and ticket price money.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
