Transformers 3 and Bad Teacher

I was on a roll today with the movies - I saw "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon" and "Bad Teacher".

The 3-D in Transformers was awesome - one of the best. The story line was OK, not great - just OK - at least I did not get lost in the story as I did in Transformers 2. If this is not your type of movie, then skip it, but it might be worth seeing for the visual effects only - there's so much happening at the same time and the Transformers are larger than life on screen.

One of the annoying things about the movie was the love relationship between Sam and Carly - I mean this girl is smoking hot, but I just wasn't getting the vibe that they were madly in love with each other!

Also the acting was pretty basic - nothing and no-one really stands out, except for maybe John Turturro.

Bad Teacher was a bit of a surprise - it's a bit ditzy, but it was entertaining and it did crack me up! The movie is pretty krast with the jokes, and seems to follow the trend of Bridesmaids, The Hangover and Forty Year Old Virgin! But for the purpose of entertainment - that it surely is!

I still think "Super 8" is the best I've seen this year - it's a nice break from all those summer blockbusters with comic book super heroes (Thor, Green Lantern and Captain America), with big leading actors.

Super 8 takes it simple, with no big lead actors and a rare feat in movies today - connection with the characters where you feel for the and even root for them to win! See a post I did on Super 8 here.

Anyways peeps - TTYL!
