Transformers (2007)

Special FX crush plot and dialogue

[4/10 · 27 September 2007]

If you're a Transformers fan, then you'll love this movie no matter what anyone says. However, if you're a former fan who decided to "grow up" a bit then you might feel a little disappointed. Incredible special effects are mixed with an average plot (however it would be hard to make talking robots from space any more sensible) plus horrible dialogue and acting. Jon Voight and John Turturro are either big-time fans of these Hasbro babies or they lacked cash at the time of making. Shia Leboeuf (or what's his name) and Megan Fox are not even allowed to call themselves actors.

Harsh judgment? Perhaps...or maybe it's just the truth.

This review might be a little biased on my behalf, simply because I don't like the "childrens' comedy" and "hardcore action" mash'em-up.

Rounders (1998)

Only For Card Players....(not!)

[10/10 · 19 June 2005]

This is probably the best movie I have ever seen. I know what most people will say - another review by another card geek. If so then most people would be wrong. I've seen this movie about 30 times (love it more with each day). Until the 27th time I had no idea how to play Texas hold'em (NONE WHATSOEVER!) or any other game mentioned in the movie.

The reason why I believe it is the greatest movie of all time are : phenomenal cast (everyone seems to agree with that), good story and the sheer moral of the movie (do what you want with your life). Of course this picture has some flaws but show me a movie that doesn't ! I guess it's going to be pretty hard to find anyone who doesn't play cards and likes the movie just as much as I do. But that's not a problem because this review represents only one person's beliefs - that person is ME.

10/10 (fully deserved)
