When I go to the theatre to see a movie about warring robots I expect tonnes of explosions and little plot. Michael Bay delivers with Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.
The best part about seeing it at the movies is that the Transformers’ twisty changey sound effects are really loud!

Like the first Transformers movie the graphics are amazing. The biggest downfall is the running time of two and a half hours which was about half an hour too long.

Bumblebee is as cute as ever!

3/5

Bought to you by the girl who loved the first Transformers, all of the Oceans movies, 300, War of the Worlds, Australia, and all of the Quentin Tarantino movies she’s seen.

O. M. G. The only other time I have laughed loudly throughout a movie and clapped was during Borat. Bruno offers more of Sacha Baron Cohen’s style and leaves you with sore stomach muscles. That is unless you are anywhere near homophobic.

The movie is quite short by today’s standards at only one and a half hours long, there are a lot of scenes that I’ve read about that weren’t in the movie. I would have loved a longer version, can never have enough hilarity.

Bruno really couldn’t have been filmed anywhere but America. I can’t imagine anywhere else that homophobia could incite such rage. Of course there are far more conservative countries, but they would never allow themselves to be pulled so deep into the story before being duped. You’ll also see the lengths people will go to for fame, and be reminded why you don’t watch day time talk shows.

I can see how this movie is love or hate, I can understand why people don’t like Sacha’s work even if they aren’t homophobic. I can even understand people loving Borat and hating Bruno. But if you love making fun of homophobes, and seeing people in awkward situations you may love this movie just as much as me. The laughter was raucous, people clapped at the screen, I feel smug just thinking about all the stupid people that think being gay is a sin. You’ve got to love Bruno, after all he is “the star of the biggest German-speaking show on television in every single German-speaking country. Except Germany.”

P.S The setting of the fight is real.

4.5/5

A beautiful Swedish love story about a young vampire “girl” and her young male neighbour who is being bullied at school.
Perfect except for the horrible CGI cat scene.
