Transformers (2007)
AWESOME action movie and true enough to the cartoon
I actually loved this movie, and have seen it twice in the past four days. I understand why some people were disappointed, because the story between Sam and Mikaela was quite cheesy and trite, and sometimes it seemed like they delved a little bit too much into the comedy aspect to really be true to the Transformers cartoon. But, the graphics and special effects were absolutely amazing. I'm still not convinced the transformers weren't real! And the action sequences were awesome, too. Yeah, they changed the vehicles around, and only touched on many important aspects of the cartoon...but you have to expect stuff like that from a blockbuster movie version of the show. No, it will never truly be Transformers...but it was still an amazing movie. And when lines like, "Freedom is the right of all sentiant beings," or "Autobots, roll out!" come on, you feel like you are watching the original. And nobody can deny that it was absolutely insane when Megatron rips Jazz in half. I think everyone in the theater got shivers.
The Pest (1997)
Unique and goofy, Check it out if you like John Leguizamo
It's true that "The Pest" is not the most amazing piece of cinematography ever made, but if you go in with the right attitude, it's a funny little movie. I love John Leguizamo, so perhaps I'm a little biased...but I definitely think this movie is worth watching. It can be a little offensive if you are the type of person who doesn't like ethnic jokes. But I feel that the Pest's ethnic jokes are more of a statement than simply tasteless humor; numerous ethnic groups are "targeted" and their stereotypes made fun of. In this way, the ridiculousness of discrimination and segregation is illuminated. And you can laugh at it, which is even better!
