THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.

March is all MUSICALS!

Transformers: Dark of the Moon, 2011




Director: Michael Bay
Stars: Shia LeBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, Patrick Dempsey







So, maybe in the future, I should put trilogies into one review. I'm not sure about this, since there really are great trilogies out there. But all I remember about this one is the moon, at one point they are all sliding down the side of a tipped building, and the rest is just a rather boring blur of action and metal crushing metal. I like action movies, but this one was all action. For a good kind of action movie, I recommend Indiana Jones, or something like that.

I still don't get the title: "Dark of the Moon". It sounds like a mistake. Or is it like the "light of the moon" except it's the "dark" of the moon? That must be it, but it sounds stupid.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, 2009


Director: Michael Bay
Stars: Shia LeBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel









The saga continues. This one is about "the fallen", a bunch of bad machines, who come to earth to destroy the humans, and it's up to Optimus Prime and the other auto-bots to save the day.

Honestly, I was on some heavy medication while watching it, so I remember something about pyramids and the rest is just a bunch of action sequences. I'm not kidding: LOTS of action sequences, lots of metal and steel things transforming into trucks and other things.

Transformers, 2007






Director: Michael Bay
Stars: Shia LeBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel





Sam Witwicky (LeBeouf) buys his first car, but doesn't realize it's actually a robot, til it drives away by itself.

And that's all you need to know, really. This one has lots of funny moments, especially with the actors' way of rambling on and on when something serious is going on, and the audience can barely hear it, or it's hard to hear, or something. But I imagine there is a lot that you could miss the first few times you watch it.

It's ridiculous. But this one was definitely my favorite of the trilogy.
