Transformers (2007)
Michael Bay returns
First of, i often neglect IMDb's forums because, honestly there are to many dumb people here. I don't know how often i read 10 this 10 that, honestly 9/10 is a GREAT movie, if it would be granted a 10 it should be the best movie in the history. Saw Transformers earlier and me and my friend said to each other on the way to the cinema that this movie was going to be full of "shaky action scenes" where it is hard to even See whats happening. And yes i know the purpose of that type of scenes.
The movie contained a lot of that stuff and just like every movie where Michael bay has had his foot inside the door everything is so American. I don't say that is is a bad thing, he just makes it that way in uncool way and it just gets lame in the end. The music i have to say is one of the best parts of this movie. You recognize Steve Jablonsky easily and his music. He saves the movie in many ways, scenes that would have feel totally unnecessary. This movie has been on the waiting list for lots of Transformers fans (including me) and i have to agree that it was a thrill to see all the old friends in real nice animations. However i really dislike the way the robots act many times and the how many people seem to be deaf in this movie.
Overall one of Bay's better movies and was well worth to see and i think i can see it again. I Would rate it 3/5 due to the animations and the music. Shia LaBeouf played his part really well, showed that he actually can act unlike many other "main characters" Bay has worked with.
The Simpsons: Marge Gamer (2007)
New stunning episode after a months break!
Me and a lot of Simpsons fans have waited eagerly for this new episode. This episode is about discovering for Marge and as Lisa says "you are just like Christopher Columbus, you discoverd something millions knew about already" A great episode, Homer once again shows his love for Lisa by sacrificing himself and in the end it turns out well in the end. We find the Simpson's enjoying internet again as we seen when Homer was Mr X and revealed secrets about the community. This time its Barts and Marges time and they meet all the normal people in Springfield trough a online mulit player game. And in a documentary Lisa is watching we once again find the song Barber' Adigo for strings. A great episode and now we look forward to next weeks episode!
The Simpsons: Homerazzi (2007)
New episode and a very new intro
This episode starts out as many with the long intro, with Bart skating. But then it turns into something really special, one of the coolest intros so far. what we see here are the evolution, from one cell to what we have today. we get to see dinosaurs and i think it was very cool and unexpected, been a while since they done anything like this.
The last one i recall is the one where they zoom out from Homers head. They also makes fun of the American people and the public view, that they are fat when Homer fails to blow out some candles and Lisa says "You are out of shape, even for an American" This episode brings back a lot of faces and we some of Springfields most famous celebrities and the things you perhaps didn't know about them, a great episode, one of the best in season 18 so far.
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Guide to ruining a great story
First of all i'd like to point out i have always been a big fan of Star Wars. ALready in my early years i dreamed about this exciting far away galaxy, stunned by the special effects in the movies, the acting the exciting creatures there is in this Universe. First the special edition box came out, wow! that cant be bad can it? well Geroge manage to screw that up anyway, the classic example Han Solo shoots first! why would you ever wanna change that? it ruins the whole point of the scene, too see what kind of guy he is. A smart and experienced Bounty Hunter but no no. oh well lets get back to this movie (could go on and on for hours but lets not waste IMDb space.)
First of all the two most important stuff is the 1 story (wich George Lucas already had from earlier movies, everyone knew what was going to happen he just needed to deliver it correctly). 2 good actors this movie i'd like to say completely misses that point. The three main chars (Obi, Ani and Padme) i have never seen anything like it honestly i didn't believe one single "feeling" from them in the entire movie. Natalie Portman was better in her younger days but seems to have misplaced her acting talent somewhere.
Haydyn, no words can describe him, i would rather have seen Sylvester Stalone as Anakin than him. Ewan was a great actor, but even he couldn't deliver anything in this movie. honestly i would rate this movie 2, mostly because how George has destroyed one of the greatest movies ever made, and i don't think its for the money, he just keeps making them. And now he is going to make one hour TV show? i say STOP let it be, don't ruin it even more you have done more for the entertainment business then most people in this world. Star wars has always been top on special effects and i cant blame them here, tho its to much many times, maybe they were trying to compensate for the bad acting. After 11 days outside the cinema waiting for tickets to the first view, i have to say it was worth, the hoping George Lucas would have turned this bad habit into something good. But it never came, and thats it for me with Lucas, will have very little faith in his future works. Thats all for me now.
South Park: Up the Down Steroid (2004)
South park and Simpsons
This episode shows the typical ways of Cartman and also how south park is a bit inflated by Simpsons? I noticed while watching this episode, one normal person that has always been really nice to people and never do anyone harm end up like a wild person. In the Simpsons episode "Strong arms of the ma" Marge starts using steroids and she ends up bigger and stronger then everyone else, just like jimmy she begins to hit people and in that scene where Jimmy/Marge turns on their closest friend.
Both south park choose to have the song "Barber - Adagio For Strings Op" The song is soothing and yet at the same time it sounds like a sad song, and with the panic in the other voices it really sets the mood. I just fell in love with this song and it seems like both Simpsons and South park did.
I think its pretty clear where South park got this idea with the steroids. But who knows, maybe South park was first after all?
Heroes: Chapter Eighteen 'Parasite' (2007)
Before the big bang
Like many been waiting for, Hiro gets his sword, Mohinder finds out who Sylar really are and lots of lose ends gets tied together. opens a lot of opportunities for next week episode with Clair's discovery who her real family was. people been waiting long time for a meeting between Sylar and peter recently with peters "new" abilities. Andos return wasn't very surprising but still happy that he did it at this time, no Hiro without Ando at his side. Mr Bennet who has been getting a new face in the last few episodes, and is not really the evil type people been accusing him to be lately and looks like he is in seriously trouble now.
With the help of Janice they were able to find out that he knew about Clarie even after losing his memory. Isacc seems not to really know what to do, being heartbroken after shooting his recently separated Girlfriend.
One of the best episodes in the Heroes series in a while and Tim Kring keeps open up unexpected openings for surprising events, can only hope this series keeps up this quality in the future.
