Revenge: better in theory?
June 30th, 2009 by Chester Duke Carson
The only movie anyone is apparently going to see these days is “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen“. The Michael Bay directed sequel, boasting a budget of about $200 million, is already at that number domestically. Worldwide it’s already a money maker, and it hasn’t even been out one week.
You really can't keep a good Prime down. Seriously, it's impossible.
Reviews ranging from bad to venomous haven’t stopped fans. Yet.
I tried to go see it myself for Thursday’s review on Sunday afternoon and to my shock, could not. It sold out. Word of mouth takes a bit of time to work its magic, I suppose. I caught it last night, all 150 minutes plus the half hour of previews and the 10 minute delay they seemed to do on purpose at the downtown theater here in Juneau, Alaska.
What did I think? Still deciding. Check back Thursday morning.
…
Saw my first trailer for “2012” and although the tune is familiar (think “The Day After Tomorrow”) I have to admit, it looks like a trip:
Admit it. You’re eyebrows are raised. At least a little. November for that FX marathon.
…
Tomorrow, not Friday, there are a couple of big new releases. They’ve made the 8th “Ice Age” cartoon and Michael Mann has Johnny Depp as John Dillinger in “Public Enemies“.
I’m slightly stoked for the latter and waaaaay over the former. More later…
