Extraterestrial Reviewing(Transformers 3)

It's been a while since my last post. Miss me? Well no need to worry I'm back with a good review of Transformer: Dark of The Moon. Now I know a lot of people don't like the Transformers movies and they got a bad name for some of the tasteless jokes and assumed racism in the second of the trilogy, but I have always been a huge fan of the Transformers franchise. Now about the racism I mentioned was that twin bots talked in ebonics critics automatically *assumed* they were African American characters and that it was tasteless of the Michael Bay project. Well here's my take Their robots, they were green and red not black, the racism comes from those critics who jump to believe that they were black characters. In today's culture hip hop is at an all time high. These bots were said to be young, and were mimicking the times and the last I checked every hip hop artist isn't black.

   Now back to the new film. If I had to explain it in one word... Epic. Why? Simple, it was all out war, some of the best action scenes I have ever seen, add 3D and it was out of this world. Michael Bay might seem like a Nazi to Megan Fox but to me he seems like a brilliant man. You see he pushed the movie up three days to a Wednesday release, also a June release. This July is jam packed with block buster and ground breaking films, from Horrible Bosses, which is becoming one of the most talked about comedies of the summer, to Captain America, or the historic and my personal weakness Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2. Transformers is the first to take off in July which is sure to be an amazing month for true movie fans.
 
   Transformers: Dark of The Moon is visually stunning, nail-biting, kick-ass action not to forget Megan Fox's insanely gorgeous replacement Rosie Huntington-Whitely makes for one good movie definitely a great way to end a good Trilogy. I give this a 7/10 only because of my biased fan hood but those who didn't like the last one will like this one better if your a casual movie goer this movie promises a good time.

127 hours later (127 Hours)

Last night I finally watched 127 Hours and all I can say is wow. Going into it I had worries about James Franco by himself for an hour and a half but I was, thankfully, proven wrong. Of all the Apatow kids I have to say Franco has become the best actor, and that's not to take anything from Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, or Jason Segal but Franco does a wide range of movies and he continues to get better as an actor. Now, back to 127 Hours, the movie takes place in a mountainous region of Utah, where James Franco purposefully tells no one exactly where he was going.  He wanted to be alone, although he does meet two girls not long after he starts his hike.  They mess around and swim for a few minutes which leads to Franco leaving them and ultimately falling down a crevice with a big rock which pancakes his arm against the wall.  Franco's character is an outdoor man and knows a lot about survival skills, this comes in handy as he is down in the hole for 127 hours before his journey comes to a conclusion. Now, this is based off a true story, which is remarkable because this is truly an incredible tale and I think everyone should give this movie a shot. I give it a 9/10...
