The Darwin Awards 5.0 Stars
This is one of the most well written, well directed films I have ever seen. This movie is so underappreciated for the magnificence of this film! Only 221 people including myself at the time of this review saw this film out of the entire Flixster community.

Incredibly well written it's the kind of film that a lot of people had no desire to see, but has to be one of the best films ever written. Truely an amazing cult classic!

Transformers (2007,  PG-13)
Transformers 5.0 Stars
Well this week I went to the local movie theatre to go see TRANSFORMERS I'm a pretty good fan of the original series so I was hoping to expect some good stuff. The movie was great how my Movie Tuesdays work is I try to watch one movie that week either at the show or one that's on dvd and then review it for Tuesday. This means I either watch the movie that day, the weekend before, or the Monday before. Anyway I try to review each aspect of the movie without giving any spoilers. Then I give my final judgement weather you should tell the movie "Got the pitch" or "Hit the ditch". Tried to think of something that rhymed. Alright let's start off.
GRAPHICS
Transformers doesn't disappoint in this aspect at all. I'd have to say it's the best graphics I've seen in a movie yet. The CGI was amazing. The detail and transformations of the characters where great. Everything was shiny. Only problem with the graphics is that they totally changed Ironhide and Bumblebee.
Storyline
What is kind of unexpected is they only followed same fanbased aspecs of Generation One. What I mean is that they didn't make it so fanbased of a movie that only fans of the original series could understand the movie. There was little to no mention of cybertron or energon cubes. Completely new story around transformers, but not like the original series.
Voice Acting
The movie did really good with voice acting. They even got Peter Cullen to do the voice of Optimus Prime which original transformers fans will know. Other than that I did not like that the voices of some other characters were completely different. The least they could of did was get a freaken impersonator to do the voices. The new voices just seemed lame and boring.
Characters
NO! NO! (and for the last time) NO! Optimus Prime does NOT look good with flames on him. What were you thinking? Flames do not make Prime look more badass. If that's not bad enough Bumblebee's a fucken sports car! A camaro to be exact and don't say "But Adam it's a cool sportcar..." don't give me that crap Bumblebee was meant to be the fricken beatle he was in the original show. Also they seemed to have forgotten to put some lead characters in. No soundwave, shockwave, rumble, bulldozer... next you'll tell me that Ironhide is a GMC SUV/Truck oh that's right that's because he is. Huge disappointment with how they updated the characters if you're going for a kickass film please leave the already kickass characters the same. That's right I'm talking to you hollywood fucktards!
Directing
You mean there were people in the movie to direct? With all the fast fight scenes and badass graphics it was hard to notice anything resembling flesh on the big screen. Although when they were on they appeared for too damn long I want to see more Autobot and Decepticon carnage.
Review Points
+Optimus Prime is pretty unchanged
-Prime does not look good with flames
-Looks like Megatron got hit with an ugly bat
+Great use of CGI
+Funny Jokes
+Lots of quotes from Generation one
-Missing characters
+Michael Bay directed it
+Spielburg coproduced something lately that isn't shit
-Too much human shots needs more carnage
-Megatron didn't transform into that so called "world's strongest weapon"
Review Roundup
Overall the movie still gets my high mark and is officially my favorite movie. It deserves a 5/5 and that's what it gets. Those aren't pity points either. Of course there will still be those few downers who complain about it as much as or more than me but hate it. Either way it's still a box office blowout so far it's raked in $70.5 million according to Fandango.com. That's it for this week's Movie Tuesday hope everyone enjoys the review. More to come next week.

The Mummy is an amazing action flick. The comedic factor of the movie is an ok "fill-in" bit to make character development. The movie wasn't meant to be "funny", but did good at what it was meant to do.
