Virtual Sexuality (1999)
lecherous
Well, I tend to watch films for one of three reasons. Unfortunately, there are no Transformers in this film, so I can recommend it only on comedy value and pretty women (read girls)
Yes, it is funny, I know this due to the number of people in the cinema who were laughing on a regular basis throughout. Personally though, I loved it for Laura Fraser, who IMHO is FIT!
The Transformers: The Movie (1986)
The novelty, the action, the music. mmmm, nice.
As a longtime fan of transformers, I was gleeful to get my hands on a copy of the video as an 18 year old. The first thing to note about this film is the beauty of the concept behind transformers. robots turning into vehicles etc is a perfect source of amusement for both little and big kids alike. However, leaving aside the novelty value, I still feel it's a fantastic film. Despite the dialogue being aimed at children's vocabularies, there are many strong characters developing, and dying through the film.
Most noteworthy for me, however, is the way in which the rock score has been tied in to the on screen action in a number of scenes. Firstly showing the youthful exuberance of Hot-Rod, then as the Autobot city comes under attack, and as Optimus Prime comes to the rescue, all early on in the film, the music is perfectly balanced to the excitement, and triumph of good. Again, towards the end the same tunes, by Stan Bush, are used to excellent effect as the autobots attack Unicron and Galvatron, and to mark Hot-Rod's ascension to leader of the Autobots. Basically it rocks, and the combination of perfect 80's rock music, and transforming action is yet to be bettered, even by the mighty Star Wars.
