I was going to write about going to the Transformers movie; the boys wanted to go so my plan was to take them to a matinee and drop in myself on something more worthwhile. However, when I buzzed my significant other, he told me that he had bumped into a friend of ours who took his boys to see it and said it was 'awesome'! Since I trust his 'cool technical effects' opinion I decided to stay. It was pretty amazing, even if it was full of ridiculous sexual innuendo (oh - ho! Now you want to go too!). My favorite experience was when my middle son, having played the video game, did play-by-play commentary on every character . Meanwhile his older brother hissed and spat and told him to shut up. So of course I enjoyed that as well. The youngest just sat in the front and enjoyed the special effects, sound system, and butter popcorn, candy, and slushy while the heat lightning raged outside. Don't you just love summer???? I also wanted to share with you my favorite line from the movie, but unfortunately couldn't remember it and also couldn't find it after much searching on the web. It was a comment the character Glen made to his grandma. If anyone can find it or remember it, please send it! I may have to sneak back in just to find out.
Check out a real transformer: this is cool!

Hey, do you know if non-Transformers game players would like this film (my boys don't play that game--they're more into Star Wars, Mario and sports games)? Also, any tips on good summer movies without the kids (no, I don't mean porn, I just mean solid plot, good dialog, nice eye candy in the male lead and no licensed characters)? Chi-Town Pal
The movie was exceptionally violent (no blood) but super duper effects on the robots; mildly amusing dialogue and stupid parent behavior. I would say ages 12 and up, minimum, although I took my 11 year old. Strangely enough, I haven't seen any adult movies this summer :-). I heard Ocean's Twenty Five was excellent, talk about your eye candy. I did just rent Pan's Labyrinth - amazing - distressing. Also Notes on a Scandal was very good. I need to get out more!!!
Hi! I hope you don't mind, but I've tagged you for eight facts about your life. You can read mine here: http://mariacristina.wordpress.com/2007/07/11/playing-blog-tag/, and then write 8 of your own. The idea is to then tag others, to keep the ideas flowing.
