TRANSFORMERS Synopsis
Based on the Hasbro toy line that initially captivated kids in the 1980s, director Michael Bay’s TRANSFORMERS finds two warring bands of shape-shifting alien robots renewing their intergalactic conflict on Earth. While the Decepticons, followers of the malevolent Megatron (voiced by Hugo Weaving), strive to take over the planet, the Autobots, led by the valiant Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen), are intent on protecting humanity. When young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) discovers that his new car is really the Autobot Bumblebee (voiced by Mark Ryan), it sets the stage for a massive giant-robot showdown. (imdb 8.1/10)
I’ve been looking forward to the Transformers movie for a long long time now, ever since I saw the trailer on C‘s blog last year. Because I only heard good news about the movie, I went in expecting people to have over rated it. I mean, there’s no way EVERYONE enjoyed it! But even with the front row seats, I was happily suprised at how great the movie is! I would strongly recommend people go out and watch Transformers.
Pros: Action. There’s a Plot. Autobots. Humour. Cars. Cast
Cons: Blur fight scenes. Bad attempt at romance. Jazz was ripped into two!
BLADES OF GLORY Synopsis
Rival skaters Chazz Michael Michaels (Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Heder) begrudgingly set out to attempt a historical comeback in the pair-skating program after being banned in the men’s figure skating category after an unsportsmanlike scuffle. MacElroy’s former coach (Craig T. Nelson) provides them with the tough-love coaching they so desperately need. Despite their absurdity, the duo aren’t previous award winners for nothing, and their combined talent threatens the position of fellow American skating champions. (imdb 7/10)
Blades Of Glory wasn’t too bad. Definately not something I would watch again though. It’s a bit like Borat (though Borat was much better), funny at the time but at the end of the movie I feel like I’ve wasted 1.5 hours of my life…
Pros: Attempted Humour
Cons: Two guys ice skating. Costume. Stupid Plot
KNOCKED UP Synopsis
Young, bright, and talented, Alison (Heigl) has everything going for her. After being promoted to an on-camera role at E! Television, Alison goes out to celebrate with her older sister, Debbie (Leslie Mann). Not long into the evening Debbie is called home to her kids, leaving Alison in the eager company of charming slacker Ben (Rogen). In the dark of the nightclub and in the ensuing drunk hours, Ben seems like a great guy. But in the sober light of day, Alison quickly discovers the man in her bed is nothing more than an overgrown child with no job, no money, and the social habits of a teenager. Brushing him off politely as a one-time affair, Alison goes on with her life, until two months later she realizes that the unthinkable has happened. (imdb 8.1/10)
As a sucker for any kind of ‘romantic comedy’/'feel good’ movie I can’t hate Knocked Up. I would have been able to enjoy the movie more if there was maybe a bit more character development, and I couldn’t help but feel disgusted at the behaviour of Ben Stone &Co. Knocked Up deals with very real issues and unfortunately very real situations… how often have I seen girls getting ‘Knocked Up‘? Well at least Alison is a step ahead because she isn’t completely brainless. I would definitely prefer watching Knocked Up over Blades Of Glory.
Pros: Izzie from Greys Anatomy! Search for a Gynecologist 
Cons: Seth Rogen. Boring Plot. Pointless side story. Ben Stone, his friends & their antics.
