Transformers (2007)
The death of cinema
This kind of movie that is the reason good films are dying, from the crap acting to the lousy lousy lousy plot, to the cliché dialogue the whole thing reeks of Micheal Bay, what do you expect from a man who started out making Playboy videos.
Michael Bay is a horrible director, he is the true spawn of Satan, but the mad thing is people love this garbage, this does not bode all for the future generation of film lovers and film makers.
Stephen Spielberg should hang his head in shame to be associated with this film but i guess its all about the money with him these days.
I can only recommend this movie to dogs. STAY AWAY:
Road to Perdition (2002)
Enjoy watching over and over again
What I saw from the beginning was a phenomenal work by Conrad L Hall, the great lost of the Cinema industry, who brought a very dark and melancholic external view to the film. The score is dramatic and perfect for the film. The simple script had being shaped with great dialogues and was turned very unique.
In addition, the acting was quiet and marvellous: Tom Hanks had a very rare role for him, although he still showed his great ability to act; Jude Law had a linking role and he performed it with much cruelty; Newcomer Tyler Hoechlin was great as the helpless child, coming up at the end with sobriety; And the absolute great acting was by Paul Newman. So quiet and modest, he presented a good-hearted and warm person, even though his job was tough and bloody.
Mendes' second work is much better and is more mature, complicated and polished than "American Beauty".
Cleanskin (2012)
Turned out to be enjoyable watch
My wife purchased the CLEANSKIN DVD for me recently (despite asking for a Sean Bean film of a different name!) and it turned out to be an enjoyable watch. The theme of terrorism and radicalisation trends throughout the world, and the July London bombings of 2005 suddenly come flashing back whilst watching CLEANSKIN, so you find yourself cheering for Sean Bean quite loudly during the film.
Equally, you also find yourself in the mindset of the terrorist Ash's head, and you pray that he won't go on and want to commit such atrocities. He gets pushed and pushed by the terrorist recruiter Nabil until there is no going back.
Keep your eyes peeled for a snippet of Mr Bean on the TV screen, great timing really given that he showed up at the Olympic opening ceremony recently!
