    Now…onto the movie.

    Synopsis from IMDB:

    The Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the Moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and to learn its secrets.

    My review:

    Okay, so, the action ROCKED. Kind of expected that, though, right? I came into the movie hearing, “There’s no plot” and “Not sure what I just saw, but it was good.”

    I’m pretty sure of what I saw, and I didn’t really like it. I found a bit of a plot, but again, I didn’t like it.

    We have the main character, Shia LaBeouf, who is a fine actor, just not one of my favorites. In the beginning he’s screaming his head off like a little girl but then magically morphs into this amazing super-dude who can catch falling women with a quick snatch of his hand, skid under cars and kick the crap out of dudes twice his size.

    We have the heroine, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, walking around in skimpy outfits that left little to the imagination as to what was beneath the flimsy fabric. What was her role in the movie again? Other than to be a beauty on Shia’s arm….I’m not quite sure.

    I thought the humor was distracting again as I did with the last movie. Really, the only thing that rocked was the action, and it flirted with being over done. It just went on and on and on.

    Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE special effects, kick-butt action scenes, but a girl can only take so many in a movie. Jeepers.

    Sorry guys, I have to give the movie Two Tickets:

    2 tickets - See it, but by yourself on dvd

  • Never Give Up–Week of Hope


    The movie Legion ranks up there on the scale of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. But, one thing that rang true in the movie was its theme of hope.

    Yep. Amongst crappy acting & terrible writing, I found a theme that touched my heart.

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8lGCjd9W8U&feature=related]

    Sure, the special effects were pretty good. And, well, I admit, I have a thing for angels and wings.Heck, I’ve even written a couple books that have characters with wings.

    But there’s this one character in this movie, they call him JEEP. He’s kind of a strange bird, really. Jeep hasn’t lost hope. He sees the good in everything even when no one else can see it.

    I mean, he has a dead end life/job & loves a woman who’s pregnant with another man’s child. But still, he continues on, thinking of her first in everything without ever expecting anything in return.

    In the movie, the Archangel, Michael, defied an order from God to exterminate the human race. He did so because he had hope and faith in man when God had lost it. He went down to fight with them despite knowing he would die doing it.

    And at the very end, Michael and JEEP’s hope shines through. I won’t go into details in case you want to watch it and don’t mind wading through the poor acting and poor writing.

    But JEEP & Michael hold on to the very end and are rewarded, greatly.

    So, when you think all is lost. Just hold on. Hold on and you can make it through anything.
