Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
by JessTransformers Robots that desensitize.
Prepare yourself,
To do battle, wage war,and
For 2 hours of metal, mayhem, super sized explosions, oversized mechanical monsters, evil alienoid robots from the planet Cybertron, coming to wipe out the human race using a giant plasma ray gun, hidden and buried deep below the earth..
Does that sound a tad bit overwhelming to you?
It's a recipe for disaster.
Mix in some raunchy comedy and that?s Michael Bay style in a nutshell. He pulls no punches and every statement is balls out blatant. How about a scene with a teenage boy about to be raped by hot young teenage girl who is really an alien robot in disguise, hell bent on dissecting him? Yah sounds like it belongs. After all it is a Michael Bay film.
So lets go for it.
If you manage to get around all that extreme, you might be able to find a movie worth watching. Transformers ROTF, is in essence a sci fi war movie but in this war is really hard to know who to cheer for or even why. Everything and I mean everything takes a back seat to action and special effects. Yeah the actors look good, sound good ( all be it they don?t really have any good lines ) and theres plenty of them, but I expected better usage of character this time around.
The movie is funnier than I expect, the laughs in the begging really catch you off guard and were strong but like with everything else in a MB movie, it taste bad when overdosed.
I really have to complain about the new Autobots, and some of the Decepticons, just looking and acting all together way too human.
First off they tried to pour way too much personality into each one, making them sound like horrible stereotypes, or guests on a trailer park appealing talk show (ya know the kind that insists on airing peoples ?Dirty Laundry? ) You might want to cry foul when you see the joke about the giant evil robot of destruction having a pair of metal clanging testicles.
Some robos have big googly eyes that look swollen, long bat shapped ears, thick oddly shaped out grown teeth that mismatch in color, and some even have a full out bristly beard. Does that even make any sort of sense to you? A Robot with a metal beard? Whats next zits? tattoos, piercings, how bout a big wet metal tounge.Why not? Such is the stupidity. Theres no ruling on any of this insanity.
But, enough about our non human actors, how about those 3 stooges and the 1 really hot chick? Does anyone else notice how actor John Turturro looks a lot like a would be middle aged Shia LaBeouf ? Do ya think the resemblance had anything to do with their pairing? or that in the movie Simmons even calls Sam his son ?
Well Simmons is quite the protagonist as it turns out, he leads the group on a while goose chase( or should I say camel chase ) through the Egyptian desert of all places.
What are they searching for? the plot of this movie ? A good joke ?, or a place to end their career?
Now how about that love story between Miss Fox and LaBeouf? Well, it was well presented but had very few moments. Not a lot develops, until the end. It was definitely lacking, and considerably Megan Fox was hardly even there, it was disappointing.
With all the movies absurdity aside it does manage to deliver a spectacular fight sequence on several occasions. Its most defiantly thrilling it?s a bit shocking too, with some big moments of despair. ( Dont worry Im not going to spoil it )
In terms of action this is definitely bigger and better than the previous but, a lot of personalities have been reduced in their role, such as the Air Force crew, other Auto bots and thankfully the annoying parents. ( although the latter come in to play a lot near the end. )
I was surprised at the language this film explicitly delivers through its robot lips, and I couldn?t help but feeling creeped out by the tiny little robot insects that stick their incredibly sharp metal feelers inside human body parts. Nasty.
There was a lot more dialogue from the digital characters this time, and I think they handled it fairly well. The villains were pretty cool and very much evil.
The best bit of course being the huge battle at the end with explosions a plenty.
All in all it?s a good movie, exciting and adventurous which is what you paid to see.
You have to gear yourself up to see it though, cuz its going to leave you winded and dizzy.Its about the equivalent to seeing the Circus, Mardis Gras, a demolition derby and the 4th of July fireworks all in one day.
God bless the USA. ( and even Michael Bay. )Even though you've prob already seen it...twice.

Up
by Jess"Come fly with me,come fly, lets fly away."
An old man, A young boy, a talking dog, and a flying house...and you thought it was gonna be silly.
( The following is my review of the film " UP" )
I sat down in the theatre and got caught Up in a really sweet, storybook escape. Up is like a daydream that goes beyond your expectations causing you to slowly drift into a feeling of euphoria. The rich, colorful palette of this film pleases your eyes with its flavor. The seemingly endless and vast blue sky calls out to your sense of adventure and encourages the imagination in us all.
I truly enjoyed watching Up, and was entertained from minuet to minuet. although, I didn't like the idea of this old man having to drag around a house, I wasnt expecting it to be that way. I feel like it limited this films mobility and dragged down the overall plausibility.
I don't know who wouldn't enjoy this movie. The only thing you really need while watching this is to turn on your imagination and let go of your logic a little, its best not to remain so grounded.
Up is a real charmer its a splendid family film even for the grandparents. It's very sincere, and sentimental in tone and message. The folks at Disney and Pixar have once again dazzled us with lovely images and a story thats pure, youthful, bliss. The romantic overture, and delightful nature of this film, carries you along for a ride you'll want to share with everyone around you.
Jokes are a fickle thing, but humor is the voice of the heart and Up beautifully captures that quirky and spontaneous humor that only comes from experiencing lifes precious moments. Joyful isnt a word I like to throw around but, it fits quite well when attached to the spirit of this film.
A very small gripe I have with Up, is it's lack of human characters, which leaves us without much dialogue, and no narration to boot, also some of the jokes repeat a little to much. Oh and dogs flying airplanes...not sure about that, but I can easily look past it for all the underlined pleasantry of this pic.
Its cute, its fun filled, free spirited, UPlifiting and sensational. Young and old will love it. What else is there to say about Pixar that hasnt been said? Pixar iis to animation what Picasso was to paint, and if characterization was ever considered an art form than this film deserves its own section at the Norton Museum of art.
Theres a lot you can walk away with after seeing this pic, but mostly I like to believe that 1.Your heart is never too old to have an adventure and 2. .No matter how much life brings you down, don't give Up on your dreams, you never know how high they may take you, if you let them lift you Up.I saw it for the 1st time today. Now its your turn.

Terminator Salvation
by JessSal.va.tion : the saving of somebody or something from harm, destruction, difficulty, or failure
Since when was Salvation such bad news?
The future, its something we all think about. In fact most of us build our lives preparing for it. It is our single greatest hope. For some, the future means everything. The present is only a transition, but what if you knew the future, or worse you knew there was nothing you could do to change it. What if the future was a world of nothing but despair?
Terminator Salvation is a post apocalyptic nightmare rendition of our own civilization.
The land ravaged by napalm and the sky polluted with ash, the outlook seems a little more than bleak for everyone, but that doesn?t stop one man. They call him a prophet, others know him as a leader, and in some respects the savior of our species.
Present day 2018, John Connor is perhaps humanities last hope in a war against the impending doom, a design of their own destruction. Machines, that seek to annihilate their creators, and conquer the earth for themselves, have nearly done so if it weren't for the efforts of a few struggling survivors know as the Resistance.
But what chance do they have against the cold calculated judgement of modern technology? Slim to none, yet still they fight, as best they can.
This is the type of run for your life, were all gonna die, super disaster that never lets up. Its like a feeling that your drowning for a solid 2 hours.
If you enjoy war scenarios, or just like to watch other people suffer this might be right up your alley. Its full of depression, gloom, and doom, not much else, oh yah except giant killer robots with chain guns, missiles, and laser beams.
Actually the robots are few and far between, terminators take a back seat to all the drama going on back at the human camp. The Terminators are rare and appearances are less impactful than ever. However there is that one scene with a massive two ton metal giant.
Anyone who has seen the Transformer movie has witnessed much more impressive metal. This thing is just a clanky mess of random parts and obscure structures.
The biggest, most unforgiveable flaw in this film is its lack of any identifiable villain. All previous Terminator films had an iconic go getter, someone chasing down our heroes from moment to moment without hesitation. This time however, its lacking, and the film is dull, draggy and less of an adrenaline pump.
Even though the opening credits gave me goosebumps,without the powerful presence of the man synonymous with Termniator, this film is just a flop, no matter how big the budget was, it got sizeably downgraded without Ahhnuld.
Sure it manages to throw in a very convincing CG replica of 1984 Arnold, but that?s only nostalgic for a brief moment. We understand none can replace him, but at least give us a
warrior worth cheering for.
Terminator started off as a film that was Sci Fi new age, terror, borderline horror. This time around all the scare is gone, and so is the mystery of what the future holds.
Theres small stuff that harkens back to the earlier films but definetly not anything groundbreaking. Still it's a nice subtlety they include for the fans.
All the characters in this movie, might as well be invisible, their performances are so average yet unrelateable. Bale is bland, others are boring. Without good characters theres hardly anything carrying this most basic of plots.
Seems like every good movie franchise has its bad apple, and this ones definetly not the best of the bunch.
The battle of man vs machine has got to end and if this film hasn't killed it yet, I don't know what will. Another big question is, will the sour tatse of this film spoil everyone appetite for Transformers 2 ? ( which is right around the bin.)
Like a war plane flying across the enemy battlefield, this movie Bombed !
! system failure ! abort operation.Prepare yourself, Salvation is at hand.

Marley & Me
by JessMarley and Me
This is a story about a dog. A dog named Marley. Marley was a bad dog. Sometimes Marley was a really bad dog, but everybody loved Marley. Marley was a constant reminder of how out of control yet enjoyable life can be.
Marley became a big dog, Marley got in a lot of trouble. Marley got his owners in a lot of trouble. Marley also made everybody laugh.
Marley became more than a friend. Marley became a family dog. Marley became a special dog.
Marley will bring you smiles, and laughter, Marley will brighten your day, Marley will make you feel like everything?s ok.
That?s what dogs do, that?s the magic of owning a personal pet and sheltering it. They open your heart and enlighten your life, and I think that?s what this movie was really all about. A dog is a very special companion that will always be there for you no matter how bad things get.
This movie should really strike accord with dog owners and pet owners in general.
It?s a sweet little endearing film, perhaps a bit too long and aimless but, a good film in general for just about anyone to enjoy.
Perhaps the memory of a lost dog or pet is still too vivid in your mind, in which case this movie may help you ease that pain and just be thankful for what was.
If you take Marley (the movie) home with you, or show it to a child, I can almost guarantee they will want to own a dog if they don?t own one already.posted 39 days ago -

Wonder Woman
by JessFew know the tale that tells of the strongest ( supposedly ) woman to ever live. A hero who has stood the test of time and shown glory somewhat equal to that of her male counterpart, the one and only man of steel, Superman, but she is no man, she is very much a woman but no ordinary woman she is Wonder Woman.
Strength, justice , honor and virtue follow her lead, she is intelligent, nerturing, and highly slkillfull, she is princess Diana of the Amazons. A clan of women that survive on their own and flourish in a land of paradise with no men present. Diana was not simply given the role of leader or protector she had to earn it.
This animated motion picture, does a splendid job of capturing the character and personality of the woman in red, it also details her past, the land she lives in, its people, and dangers they face. It is a breathtaking display of lush scenery and large scale environments. WW is no push over she's as tough if not tougher than any brutish male with sword and shield, she is master of hand to hand combat as well possessing a great skill with spear or shield. She is everything you would expect a hero to be.
Although she cannot fly,her invisble jet provides her with the transportation necessary to reach earth, and beyond. Even though she is tough as nails, she is a naive and somewhat vunerable woman. She has deep fears, doubts and concerns, most of which involve man. However, through out the film she works alongside one, and learns to accept and understand his ways. The mutual understanding and trust they establish runs very deep and is an emotional part of an otherwise mostly action based film.
WW tells an interesting story of trust and betrayal. It mixes well with the ancient mythology of the greeks. I was very much impressed by the number and quality of action scenes, ranging from a 1 on 1 fist fight, to a full scale battle of epic proportions.
The film is also not without humor or charm. Its clever and seeks to entertain more than the expected 6 -13 audience. There are a few subtle moments that ponder questions of sexuality and gender confusion. I think not only women will admire and relate to her but men can appreciate and even respect the attitude and ideals that WW adheres to.
Every comic book fan owes it to themself to become familar with the background of WW. One of the most impactful and celebrated heros of the last 50 years. WW is a long overdue production that gives much due recognition and significance to a terrific character.
It was alot of fun to watch, and experience this story,it was highly creative and exciting, too bad it wasnt shown on the big screen.
I only hope that more of her adventures are shared and enriched by this means and level of quality. I will enjoy the memory of this film for quite some time.I whole heartidly reccomend it.

X-Men Origins - Wolverine
by JessJames was once a boy,but that was a long long time ago. Now he goes by the name Logan. He has suffered more pain than any man has ever endured. Been through hell and back many times, and inside he still hurts, but how'd he get there? And where did it all go wrong? Im glad you asked.
Straight from the pages of Marvel comics comes the latest installation of a film based entirely on the origins of the widely popular and highly fan favored character Wolverine.
Played by the renown actor, and supposed world?s sexiest man Hugh Jackman; this is the fourth time Wolverine has appeared on the big screen, but this time the spotlight is on one man, and he owns it.
Even though the film bares the name X-men in the title don't expect to see a lot of familiar faces. This story goes much farther back and predates the team by a century or more.
Have you ever found yourself wondering, or caught up in a conversation about just how did Wolverine get those shiny metal claws? Or perhaps you were the odd man out because you didn't have a clue. Well its about time for you to see for yourself.
In this flick Marvel reveals to the mainstream, a lot of the mysteries behind the man with the metal. He was once a soldier, make that 4 or 5 times a soldier. He was once a son, a brother, a best friend, a lover, an honest hardworking man, but still theres more ( and not just underneath the skin )
Maybe you do know about his mutenagenic healing factor, which partially explains why he's impervious to old age, but chances are you don't know about his involvement in the CIA.
The story leaves a lot of the details out forcing you to assume, and play a little game of fill in the blank.
Wolverine is a movie about love, trust, and betrayal but mostlyt about blood thirsty revenge.
Its also a movie without highs and lows, its all pretty much straightforward. The whole way through its anxiety driven, blood for blood. It seems to focus on the concept of war.
It hardly gives you a chance to feel anything else, even at its would be saddest moments. What good is a movie that only makes you feel one emotion?
The pace that it moves from scene to scene leaves you feeling empty and conflicted.
As far as the action goes, theres certainly plenty of it. Everyone seems to jump on board like a wrestling free for all. Fighting, hatred, rage, and killing is what this movie is all about. Not very flashy or stylistic to say the least. You wont see any elaborate costumes or really dazzling special effects, just a whole lotta SLASH and BASH, almost what you'd expect from a $2 comic book, isn't it ironic?
Theres nothing at all subtle or poetic about this, but does anyone care? After all its Wolverine not Shakespeare, but it turns out it really does matter, as movie goers seem to be less than thrilled with the this release.
How is it that Wolverine's back-story can be so rich and intricate, ( There's been literally novel upon novel written about him), yet when it comes to the plot, it seems to be the one thing they left out? I say left out because I have to wonder that maybe they did it on purpose so that audiences wouldn't be bored with the lack of action, but it seems to have had the reverse effect. It's like making a dinner and only serving dessert, or making a pie without the crust. Whatever you compare it to, something is definitely missing. Sad that such a fantastic character gets treated this way.
Many Marvel mainstays and personalities make their debut here, but characters are rarely referred to as their codename, although you have quite the rundown featuring Gambit, Sabbertooth, Kestrel, Maverick, Bolt, the Blob, Silver Fox, Cyclops, Deadpool, White Queen and a few unmentionables.
Hey not bad, but none of them truly leave much of an impression other than being flat, except for the Blob. He's more round, yet still somehow seems 1 dimensional. ( Does he really even belong in this story? Whose idea was this? My only guess is that the producers wanted to use him instead of Mastodon who is a lot less famous, but fans should know Blob doesn't belong.)
Near the end of the film everything is such a mess, all the characters are scattered and so is whats left of the plot. You've practically stopped caring seeing as how Wolverine is practically invincible but he has already been defeated emotionally.
This movie is 99% action and 1% drama, and just like the ending of any 12 - 25 page comic book you'll ever read it has no real conclusion, and the ending is just the beginning of more strange things or chaos. Still its Wolverine, its intense, its got box office appeal and you know you want to see it.Hey, ists the critic guy again back to complain about the movie!
