Review: 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' is Exactly What Meets the Eye
Director, Michael Bay . He’s a man that has long been chronicled as a tyrant, demanding everything about his movies to be “awesome.” For better or worse, Bay’s films reflect his own distinct vision. Moments into any one of them, it’s clear that you are watching “a Michael Bay film.” That’s the way things have gone with the Transformers at age 10, I had seen something on the big screen that brought me a true sense of awe. A red and blue semi had transformed into a walking, talking, platitude-spouting beacon of freedom and righteousness. And it was real. In that moment, Michael Bay and the digital wizards at Industrial Light & Magic had created something unique and truly inspired. In that moment, he was the perfect man for the job.Two more films and four years later, I remain convinced that Michael Bay is the best man for the Transformers franchise. What came from a series of toys with mythology rooted in a short-lived children’s cartoon has morphed into a worldwide phenomenon. Not because it has a rich legacy from which great stories have been drawn, but because it was handed to a man that could make it larger than life. Even in the franchise’s darkest moments, Transformers . We’re back on Cybertron, where we’re being shown another scene from the robot civil war. Once there was a weapon that would have won the Autobots a decisive victory, explains the booming voice of Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen), but it was lost to outer space. We come to find that said weapon ended up on the dark side of Earth’s moon, and became the catalyst for the American/Soviet space race. One poorly CGI’d appearance by John F. Kennedy and a few more bits of exposition later and boom, main titles.
From here, it’s a story we’ve seen before. Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) is working on another life milestone, trying to get a job and become a contributor to society, all while trying to maintain the affections of a girl well out of his league (newcomer Rosie Huntington-Whiteley). Some attacks happen and just like that, Sam is reunited with the Autobots on their quest to stop the Decepticons from overtaking Earth and enslaving humanity.
For the first hour and forty-five minutes of Dark of the Moon , we get story. There are two very cool action sequences, one of which introduces Shockwave, the franchise’s most immediately intimidating bad guy. But for the most part, it’s story. The space race, Chernobyl, it’s all been part of the Decepticon plan since whenever, it’s not explained very clearly. Thankfully there’s enough filler diversions to make much of the story irrelevant. Ken Jeong shows up for a few minutes to be ridiculous. John Malkovich shows up and cranks crazy to 11. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is attractive in a skin-tight dress. Sam lives with two little Autobots, one of whom is the Steve Buscemi-bot from the second film. That’s about all we get from the film’s first and second acts.

"What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man" -Chief Seattle Populations: WILD LIONS= 35000 and going down WILD TIGERS= 4000 and going down CRAZY HUMANS = 6680000000 and going up RECENT ARTICLE= www.oregonlive.com I wish we could split the planet in half and those that don't care could have part and those of us who are willing to work and sacrifice to make the planet a better place for future generations could have ours. But life doesn't work like that. Some would go to a great museum like the Field Museum and have a great time; I go and become more cynical. We tell the locals to protect the lion in Africa, meanwhile any westerner with enough money can trophy hunt it, or eat them in a fancy restaurant in America. The wild Tiger is endangered and finally seeing protection in India, yet still falls to poachers due to the Asian medicine market. People in the US own thousands of "pet" tigers. Crazy. Wildlife groups go to court using time and money to protect wildlife, as other agencies fight to get them taken off of endangered list for various reasons. Wildlife conservation is crazy. The human situation is also crazy, where just in my lifetime the population has doubled. Have we evolved twice as much, or are we twice as happy? I feel that almost all the world's problems (gas, food safety, pollution) are a result of the population boom. The poor having ... My Stock Market Rantings - Recovery Or Dead Cat Bounce?

Icterus in CatsIcterus in cats is caused by elevated levels of bilirubin which is the substance that breakdowns down the red blood cells in your cat. When they become elevated, your cat\'s eyes will become more yellow than they are white. Their gums will begin to turn yellow as well; however, this is not a disease, but rather a symptom. The yellow tint your cat is experiencing itself is not harmful, but the underlying causes could be deadly....
