Movie Review: Transformers 3 - Dark of the Moon

Popcorn rating:  9/10

After a long wait, we finally watched this movie last night.   After 2 1/2 hr of full action in 3D, my astigmatism attacked.  However I was here to give a review about the movie and not my eye problems.

The movie is full of action and few dialogue in contrast of part 1.  My husband enjoyed it a lot he's a kind of audience who wants more action and less talking.  Well for me I want it balance.  A story that will suffice the action.  As far as I know this will be the last installment of this movie and for a finale, it's not really bigger than part 2.

Sentinel (the new character) was Optimus Prime's teacher in the planet Cyberton and he betrayed Optimus Prime by helping out Megatron to set up the space bridge so they can bring their planet here on Earth and make the human their slaves.  Some of the scenes are very predictable.

Yes, this is the first time I am watching  movie in cinema in 3D.  What can I say? I am not really satisfied.  This is because I am used on watching HD movies.  Now on the big screen, I don't know what resolution they have to reach so it could go in high resolution.  The frame rate is so bad that you will not appreciate the action and how the robots more.

One more new face in this series is the new leading lady.  Maegan Fox was fired because at one of her magazine interview he compared Michael Bay to Adolf Hitler so Steven Spielberg (being a Jew) asked Fox to fire her.  This new face is an Englisg model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.  She's so tall and of course sexy.  Though her lips are a bit annoying especially in a big screen :O.

Anyway, Michael Bay is the king of Disaster movie so I can't count and calculate how much they have spent this time on cars.  On part 1, they have used a LOT of cars (actual cars but engine removed) on their film.  This is the only thing I really want to give credit for.  Bay does not rely on 3D animations but prefers the actual action.  Unlike Iron Man and 300 movies which are mostly visual effects.  Ferrari surely begged so they can have a slot in this movie and so is Mercedes Benz.

There's a very rare scene when you will appreciate the 3D effect so I think we should've watched this in 2D instead.  Not to mention the astigmatism attack that I still feeling now while writing this movie review. Ouch!

To wrap it up, it's a good action movie but a bit lower than my expectation assuming this is the final episode.  Packed with a lot of action and it's better to watch in 2D.  If the Blu ray will be out after few months, I'll take the 3D and try to watch it at home instead.

Foster Parents for 2 Months

Yeah, you heard it right. Victor and I will be fostering my niece Darynce (DJ) for a couple of months while her parents will be out of the country.  How we will take care of her we still don't know but definitely her food will be supplied by Eskinita Restaurant (because we can't cook).  So only I have to worry is her activity schedule.  It is not so difficult too because Me and DJ were both acting at the same age - 18.  Yes I stopped maturing after this age while DJ is acting at this age...hahaha!

Anyways we have some programs to do while she will be living with us.

1.Watch Transformers 3 in 3D at BCC

2. Play Ps3 games (Dj you need to get new games)

3. Watch Kung Fu Panda 2 at BCC (maybe next week)

4. Swim at Wahoo!

5. Teach DJ to play the piano and guitar.
6. Bible Study
7. Teach her Maths.
8. Swimming at Wahoo
9.  Watch a  lot of movies
10. - see, I don't have anything left in my mind, but I still have time to think about it...See I have 2 months.

Hope she will not get bored with us but I will try to teach her to do some chores (as if I am doing it) like cooking and cleaning.  Let's see if I can improve her or  make her worse :( wahh!!! hirap pala maging parent talaga.

Movie Review: Drive Angry (2011)

My Popcorn Rating: 4/10

This movie is very disappointing.  I was expecting a "Gone-in-30-seconds" type of movie by looking at the poster of it.  I tried to get this movie because of the word "SHOT IN 3D" and I want to see it on our 3D TV.  Ok let's try to rate the movie in two perspective.  The Movie and Cinematography.

The Movie:  The plot is lousy. The story is non-sense.  There's no story!  Imagine one escaping hell (even though there's no such thing as hell) just to save his granddaughter from being sacrificed by a satanic cult while the accountant was following him the whole time?  Very dirty movie it is.  This movie promotes sex, violence and occultism.

The Cinematography:  This is the only aspect I am giving popcorn.  I am giving 4 for the effort of doing movies in 3D.  But if it was in 2D, it should be 3 or maybe 3.  Anyways, there's a lot of violence in this movie.  The only thing that you would enjoy is the flying blood on the screen (in 3D), the gun pointing towards you, the clarity of the film which makes you feel that you are really IN the movie.

Literally, I fell asleep when the movie was near to its end and I never sleep while watching a movie not unless it is so BORING.  Sadly this is the first movie that I will review in my blog and it depressingly failed.  Nicholas Cage is one of my favorite actor and I was expecting more to him.  I just think that next time he should be choosy on what movies he will do because it damages his reputation as an actor by taking part on this junk movie.

My recommendation:  Never waste your money and if you get this for free, don't waste your time watching it.
